I've ordered from Plantworld for many years and can highly reccommend them! I also visited their nursery one year a while back. The display gardens are set up like the globe where all plants from a certain area are grown together! It was pretty unique! Growing from seed nevers looses it's excitement and fascination for me!

Derry Watkin's Special Plants in the UK has a few odd things, this is where I got the light colored form of Silene armeria, "Aprodite", never saw that in the US before. And like the first commenter, I am quite fond of Chilterns, even though at this point the minute print in their catalog will probably be a good reason for me to finally get reading glasses.

High quality seed with great germination, and a really exciting selection. I simply won't grow Aquilegia from anyone else anymore.

I love Chiltern from England and Silverhill Seeds from South Africa. A friend just lent me a big heat mat so I'll have to give some of the places you list a try and maybe order some more seeds.

Growing from seed is the best part of gardening for me. 🙂
