Fw: Polygonatums

Hi Gene and others, 

I know Gene's away at Hosta College (and I'm envious!).    I hope others will know about some of these plants to help me out while he's gone.  I'm looking in Munchkin Nursery catalog at all the different Polygonatums.  I had no idea there were so many kinds, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

I only have 3 kinds.  One of them I thought was P. humile, until I just found a label in my box of labels that said P. fulcatum.  Are these one and the same or similar?

I also have P. biflorum and P. odoratum.  Now I want to try a couple new ones.  Even though I live in zone 4a, I do grow quite a few zone 5 plants.  What would everyone suggest out of the following in the catalog?

P. multiflorum
P. curvistylum
P.odoratum 'Flore Pleno' 
P. verticillatum rubrum
P. x hybrid 'Valerie's song'

Thanks for any and all info about these!
