TinyTreasuresNursery offers plants intended for rock gardens, bonsai and container gardening, and the like. Located in Oregon, this company sells to garden centers but apparently also sells to the general public. Their price list is separate from the plant's pictures so you'll have to surf around a bit to find what you're looking for, but all in all they appear to have a nice variety of items. Go visit their site.

The name conjurs up memories of the musical, South Pacific, doesn't it? Ian contacted me to tell me about his mail order nursery. I'm sure glad he did because the name is enough to make me hear Rossano Brazzi and Mitzi Gaynor singing. Not to mention he specializes in one of my all time favorite plants - hostas. I love hostas and their company carries a nice selection along with other plants such as lilies and crocosmia. The blue ones are spectacular and Ian carries a huge variety.
