If you can't find any trades, you can buy Spigelia Marylandica is Rock Island Wildflowers. They have them for $5 bareroot. They are listed under Limited Quantity Plants. Even better, they have an internet special where you can get 10 for $36, plus $7 postage, so it pays to order online. Ordered some of these myself. Didn't come up last year, but am hoping they will this year. Talked to the owner, and he was very nice. General website is www.rockislandwildflowers.com. Specific address for spigelia marylandica is listed below -- but remember to take advantage of the internet special if you (and your friends) need 10 or more. Here's additional contact info: Rock Island Wildflowers P.O. Box 57 Rock Island, TN. 38581-0057 Phone 931.686.2360 Fax 931.686.3191 They have lots of other wonderful wildflowers and shade plants. All are bareroot. Here is a link that might be useful: Rock Island Wildflowers Spigelia Marylandica

If you buy it now I don't think it will do very good indoors all winter. It sounds like it has a tap root that doesn't like transplanting or being in a pot too long. And planting outside this late is iffy even if you protect it with mulch and a burlap tent. $11.34 plus how much is the S&H? I bet it grows easily from seed. I know a guy who knows someone else who may be able to get seed for this one. I haven't got a response to my last email, hope he's not in jail again (joking). I will let you guys know if I get some seeds. The sale ends Nov. 15 so we have a month to decide. Oh, wait a minute... Do you buy it now and they ship in April? Is that the deal? $4.00 a plant (plus tax plus S&H) delivered in April and they over winter it isn't too bad I guess. I wonder if there is someway to split the S&H costs, Say if we found 6 people that wanted one each, one person orders 6 and the other 5 each send a SASBE and a few extra $1.05 stamps to make up the diff. Have to noodle with this one.

Hi PTMAX Forgive me but once again I am not completely understanding this post....are you looking for cypress vine and have Spigelia to trade or are you looking for Spigelia and have cypress vine to trade ? Once I understand the post, I may have what you are looking for .... Signet

Not in Morris County, but Rare Find Nursery in Jackson (Ocean County) carries them. They do ship, but the nursery is worth the trip. Not a fancy place, but they know their stuff and have a wonderful selection of plants.
