BM>  ... and noticed you've mentioned being in Oklahoma. I was just 
ondering
 BM> from whence you hail? I live out east of Tulsa and have lived in this 
part of
 BM> the state for over 40 years.
Yes.  You've been on our "board" more than once...    :)  (I'm not really a 
"Sir", but the other half of "Mr. Gratisnet", in Owasso.
 BM>   I like Columbines quite a bit and try to grow many of the species 
varieties.
 BM>  I was wondering if you would know where I might obtain plants or seeds 
of
 BM>  Paraquilegias.
I too, like Columbines.  However, I had to go (back to Alabama to take care 
of my parents,) several summers and my "men-folk" let many of my perennials 
(...ohhhh, it hurts too much to *say* it!   :)  anyway, I'm afraid my meager 
Columbine collection was part of that bunch, and I've not abeen able to 
replace them yet.  I will, however, look this winter/spring, as I do my own 
looking.
 BM> I managed to find a mail order company that had them and they limited it 
to
 BM> one plant per order at $5 a plant. The tiny thing was so small  I had to 
dig
 BM> through the potting soil to find it. It didn't last a week.
What a bummer!  It happens, tho.  I'm surprised they didn't replace it, tho.  
Not very good advertisement for them, I'm afraid...
Like I said, I'll be on the look out, as I do my own stuff.
cheers,
WL Sakowski
