Hardy forest aroids

From: Brian Williams pugturd at alltel.net> on 2004.01.09 at 21:25:06(10997) I am looking for a few north american hardy aroids which seem very hard to fine locally or in nurseries. My family nursery plans to expand and we have bought the 5 acres behind our nursery. At the end of the property is a wooded area with a fairly large creek. I hope to transform it into a very nice woodland garden using unusual hardy tropicals and hardy plants. Here are some aroids that I would like to get if any one has seeds or plants to spare thanks. Calla palustris +More I have never seen or know any one who grows this but would be interested in finding it Calla montana Lysichiton americanus. I have seen a few forms of this and the more the better. Does anyone grow these or know of wild forms? I have seen pics of highly veined forms or unusually large forms. Peltandra virginica I have maybe a few small ones of this but have heard of different forms anyone growing them? Symplocarpus I have seen two forms ones with yellow flowers and some with red as well as in-between anyone growing these? Would be willing to by or trade for starts of these if anyone has them please contact me THANKS

They have fruited in the past few so if I have some seed you are more than welcome to some. Quite a bit usually.
