 I could access the site from my favorites folder.

     You mention Erythroniums. I have carried those in the past and receive 
almost
 no reaction to them. Finally gave up on all but the two natives for nursery
 inventory. I now have them in my own garden and I, too, am very fond of every
 species and hybrid out there. Won't e long before they are up and in bloom 
There
 are some very lovely colors available, especially in the dens-canis hybrids. 
Also
 some that are quite large, have multiple blooms per stem. Then there are the 
tiny
 ones only 3 or 4 inches in height. Lovely late winter blooming plants. Shame 
more
 are not aware of them. >>
===>I love erythroniums, Gene.  I have in the past bought some I don't have, 
but they haven't survived--I suspect like Galanthus and Eranthis, they are 
better transplanted in leaf, than as bulbs.  But except in England, I don't 
know where to buy them like this.  My woods is full of the native one, in 
varying shades from almost white to pink and light violet, and varying 
degrees of mottling on the leaves, and I have yellow onces, although they're 
scarcer.  I don't know what they are for sure, but doubt they're 'Pagoda'.
