Thanks to Dick Cline, Phil Soderman, Rebecca Pirie, Joe Kraatz, Richard
Dufresne, Randy Baldwin, Diane Whitehead, Carolyn Lawrence, Carla Thomson,

I was told that Jo Jo's Nursery has a good collection of Eucalyptus
seedlings, Encinitas Gdns. is a good source for mail order So. African
bulbs.
I'm looking for California natives (would like to find milkweeds for the
Monarchs migrating through my yard, the African milkweeds don't seem to
have the toxic substance the Monarchs need to protect them from
predators), and plants for hummingbirds. I'm looking for Russelia juncea &
Campanula takeismenia (seeds), I think I can protect them here in
Berkeley.
Again, many thanks to everyone! I will have several free days, and will
try to cover most of the nurseries mentioned. I may be able to visit the
ones in the Santa Barbara area on the drive home. I hope I haven't left
anyone out, or omitted any of your suggestions.
Elly
