You never know how you will obtain a plant you've desired! Recently Alana sent a daylily, which I planted in a gal. pot for now. Within a week some other kind of plant sprouted around the edges in a little soil that was around the daylily roots when it arrived. It is now 8" tall and looks like a mint but had a strange smell when I rubbed leaves. Before separating it and tossing it out, I took a picture and sent it to Alana to see if she could ID it. Wow, was I surprised: It is a 'Blue Butterflies' plant. I've tried from seeds I got from her in a swap, but they didn't sprout. Today I will carefully separate this perennial that should do well here in zone 9. I'd rather have a plant over seeds any day.
