Alan, I agree with Arlene, Walmart is an excellent inexpensive source for starter plants. I have a Jackmanii, Henryi, and HF Young, that I started in pots, and they're now planted in the garden and doing well. Henryi is now over 5 ft tall, and I'm looking forward to seeing it bloom this year.
Here are a few pics from today.
Vancouver Mystic Gem, this is its 1st bloom ever for me.
I love the underside of Omoshiro's blooms.
This is Fireworks, not Barbara Jackman!
