I've never ordered from PDN before but I may have to peak into their catalog now. Yucca Do is 30 minutes from me, though I've only been to visit Peckerwood on a tour and again, never ordered from Yucca Do. I liked your description of typical nurseries—the ones I've been to that resembled your description were primarily on some interesting backroads of Homestead and Redland, FL. Sometimes we came across some fascinating specimens, though.

Yes they are expensive, but they provide quality plants and service. Once, I ordered a cypripedium for $40; in the spring they called me and said they thought that cyp was doing poorly and offered a more expensive substitute. That's customer service!

PDN has sales in the fall, so that is one way to get of their plants a little cheaper.

Margaret Roach recently had Tony of PDN on her podcast (on Trilliums), a good listen:

It's such a wonderful nursery and botanical garden. When I lived in North Carolina I went to a few of the open house days, which were of course mind-blowing (not too mention budget-blowing). I knew a couple people who started working there, and a few weeks after starting work all those Latin botanical names were just rolling off their tongue. Such a great education to work at a place like that!
