OK, well, I'm going out for a short walk with my shovel right now...  Don't
look out your window!  ;)

I know that there's a clump on my walk to work as well.  The hort.net

I guess I'll keep trying, but only if I find cheap sources.

I did move the last few surviving sprigs to the front yard and they seem
happier with more sun; we'll see!
