Wanted-Pipsissewa-Have Natives!

I'm looking for Chimaphila umbellata sometimes called Prince's Pine like pictured here I read it is common in the Carolinas, but less so elsewhere.

Also looking for Chimaphila maculata also known as Spotted Wintergreen (Striped Wintergreen, Spotted Pipsissewa) as shown HERE.

Please see my trade list, Natives are listed at the bottom. I also may have other things in very limited amounts that are not listed, or I may be able to locate what you are looking for either here or at a friend's.

Limited quantity items not listed include white shooting stars, (Dodecatheon-probably subsp media,) bloodroot-(small unless I can find some bigger ones elsewhere), Firepink-(I believe this one is Silene Virginica), Twin Leaf-(Jeffersonia diphylla)....possibly I can think of or find something else.

Please be sure and post here, and then feel free to email me, or I will email you. Thanks!

Sue...I'm really just looking for this or maybe other natives at this time

Sue, I have enough for one trade of the wintergreen. I will look around to see if I have the other. I still haven't identified all the plants growing on my property, so I may have it and not know it :)

Hi blueridgemtngrl/Jeanne,

I'm a little confused by you saying you have enough for one trade,

Pipsissewa are individual plants, from what I can tell. Are you for sure speaking of
{{gwi:37731}}

or
Chimaphila maculataSpotted Wintergreen (Striped Wintergreen, Spotted Pipsissewa)

There are a lot of things that go by the name of wintergreen so just want to be sure.

Off to email you now!

Sue...all excited

WANTED: Have: Rare Pacific Coast Native Iris Hybrids

Comments (0)
Will have Rare, Hard to find Pacific Coast Native Iris Hybrids available to trade in Feb & March & possibly early April, depending on weather. These Iris can only be dug and transplanted during these times and are only hardy in part of zone 6 through zone 9, doing best in zones 7 & 8. These are reselect seedlings from named varieties of the famous Iris hybridizer, Joe Ghio, as well as some crossed with Iris tenax, to give them increased hardiness. If you have plants on my want list and would like to trade, I will put you on a list. Let me know what you have to trade. I will have 8 or 9 varieties available. I do large trades only. No postage.
