I'd take 5 or 10 of so many of their offerings, maybe more depending on how the order shapes up. I'm especially interested in the Trillium (any), Spigelia marilandica (Indian Pink), Bloodroot, Hepatica. Wish they had spring beauty or bluettes!

I'd love to try some running cedar, too. Is that the one that had protected status for at least a while because it was over-harvested for making Christmas wreaths? Or am I thinking of another plant that grew in the appalachian range?

If you're ordering ferns, LMK if you're willing to split. Are their bare root plants of a size that you'd put 1 or 3 in a trade gallon pot? Do you direct plant them or pot them and let them start growing first? I'm thinking I'd like to add 5 clumps of any variety you're ordering, so that could be 25 plants.

I have more dry shade than moist shade, however, anything I could pot up and put into a water garden pot (not submerged, just with the pot an inch or two into the water) would be great. I have several large water garden pots that are in now-shaded areas, and hostas did really well in them last year!
We're all learners, doers, teachers.
