Thanks for the link, Marge!  My laptop is currently dead and am reduced
to non-graphical interfaces right now (so no Web pages!), but I'll look
as soon as I can break out of this 80x25 text-based prison.  :)

This gives me an excellent opportunity to ask another Petasites-
related question, though.

I was at a nursery recently and saw some Petasites japonicus forma
purpureus (the purple-leaved form of butterbur) and found it quite
interesting, but couldn't quite palate the $25 price tag per plant.

Does anyone know of a less expensive US source for this plant that
will ship to Illinois?  Or is that actually a good price here?

Chris
