All true Marge.  This year's seed is already in this country.  The trouble 
will appear next year when it is hoped some solutions to barring seed trades 
will be found.

I do have a rock garden and you could have a shady rock garden.  I got a 
shady rock garden by have two trees become so large that the sun disappeared. 
 Then I found quite a few small rocky plants liked it there.  If the shade is 
deciduous,  it can be covered with early species crocus which are all done 
when the tree leaf out.  You could have cyclamen (we cannot) and many, many 
other tiny plants that like rock crevices.

Marge's account is very accurate.  Anyone wanting an assortment of strange 
and wonderful seeds can belong to NARGS.  The seeds are collected by members 
so there are often surprises in the packets.  I have grown three species of 
kalimeris from this seed and have yet to get the one I am after although all 
are pretty nice.
