I am wanting some Wanted Indian Pink Spigelia Marilandica plants or seeds. Thanks.

I use liquid fence to deter rabbits. It works fairly well unless they really like the plant. It smells nasty for about an hour and then the smell goes away. My toads have been unaffected by it.

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

I bought one three years ago from Easyliving Wildflowers at easywildflowers.com. So far it manages to pop up in June each year out here in the frozen waste lands. It is in exposed location and I do nothing to protect it. But, after the -26f this January, I'll have to wait a bit more to see if it is still there.
