Well, I was looking around this morning for a Lupine that would grow in Virginia and I found a list of native plants from the 'Regional Plant List' and they said 'Wild Lupines' would grow in virginia. So then I found the only people selling them is AMERICAN MEADOWS. They sell it as a wild flower so I would have to buy a 1/4 pound. The WD reviews were not that good, but not that bad. I think they might be doing better than they were. Still I really don't want a quarter pound. I did really like the list I stumbled upon I posted it under another thread but here it is for you all. Hope you find it as informative as me.

I do not do business with Michigan Bulb company after they sent me cultivars that do not exist. And Great Garden Plants because they always send a bad plant and I have to get a refund. Plus they do not pack the boxes. They have sticks in the plants and sit them in the bottom of the box and tape it up. Hello what kinda sence does that make? All the dirt in is out of the pots. The only thing holding it in is a flemsy rubberband. It won't hold. That is why I always end up with a dead plant. They are nice and always give me a refund but I would rather not deal with it. I bought a viburnum shrub and it was 8 inches tall, This cost me 16.99! I got my refund and went to a local nursery and bought one 3 feet tall for 15.99. Whistling

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29
