| Beautiful huge green and yellow leaves. Mine looks like this photo from Heronswood Nursery. Can be invasive under good growing conditions, and poisonous if eaten. Anyone interested? :) |

| Yes! I currently have columbine seedlings in either pink or purple (good for your shady spots!, mixed hollyhock seedlings, Vinca minor (groundcover for sun or shade), and I hope to be digging some snowball bush babies in the next few days. I also have a few brugmansia rooted cuttings in random colors. |

| Be careful. All I can tell you from my own experience, is: It is terribly invasive if it gets proper shade and moisture. Known as the Dinasuar Plant. Need anymore info email me. I also have pictures and I have some if you need more.From my point of view and personal gardening experience with this plant is was slow to take off BUT better have lots and lots of room, once it gets going it is underground everywhere. Do not want to scare anyone, I live in Illinois and our winters here do not bother it. Just be sure of what you ask for. Just wished someone would have given me more precise information about this monster. I ordered it thru a catalog, if you want more info just ask. Good luck, you may have the perfect place for it, then it would be just what you needed. It fills are back corner with ferns, mayapples, lily of the valley, solomons seals, jack in the pulpits and hostas. Looks great together. Good gardening. |

| I would like a start of this plant, too. I have Alstromeria pulchella, but it's only hardy to zone 7a. Is there anything else that interests you? I live in NW Florida, so a couple of climate zones warmer than you. |
