Yes, that is a great place, with such a huge selection you cannot help but
desire many things each time you peruse. Another great one is Japonica
Water Gardens, also in Oregon. It is the only place I have found selling
the variegated Typha (cattail), and absolutely gorgeous plant. It doesn't
need to be grown in standing water, just keep it moist in a sunny area, and
it will provide perfect, dappled shade and a nice backdrop for hostas
(especially blues). They also have alot of 'woods' plants like Arisaema
and Arasarum. The plants come wrapped in foil or plastic wrap, and it
looks somewhat crude, but the packing is evidently sufficient, because the
plants seem to take off with little or no transplant set-back.
