Did you try Alplains, Rafa? http://www.alplains.com/

Artemisia frigida is the very common species that occurs in the grasslands across the northern prairies.  I have it in the garden.  I have never collected seeds from it, but could make a note to do so this fall.   I also grow A. longifolia if that's of interest.

Thank you Matt, I thought they didn't ship to Spain... there is also listed Penstemon uthanensis, a species that I am looking for.
Thank you Lori, I just want to make a little collection apart the spanish ones. I am interested specially in little species but also any other...

Hi Rafe  if they have not gone yet I would love some of the Muscari seed please,  as I see you do a bit with forced germination have you germinated iris retic seed, is there anything I can do to get germination besides praying, have you soaked in GA3 and if so what rate,

thanks Mel

I think I can say with complete confidence that the answer is No. Except for Artemisia frigida, which as Lori says is very common around here (I have it all over my garden), I think you would have to find a botanical garden (like the Alaska Botanical Garden, http://alaskabg.org/) to find seeds.

Thank you Bob!

Mel, I tried reticulata Iris with forced germination and also it works, but it is very important sterile conditions. But I suggest you sow fresh seeds and they should gemrminate well in one month and a half or two months.

Thank you Bob!

You're welcome. If you are looking for the ultimate in artemisias, try A. pygmaea or A. papposa. (You'd have to go to their locations to collect seed; no one offers either one.) A. pygmaea is a tiny (4cm) green-leafed shrub; papposa is rather like the ubiquitous A. tridentata but very small.

Thank you Bob, very interesting species!
