Jon,
336 is in North Carolina, the next area code over from the one I'm in (also
in NC). A local garden center that was growing some CPs just for fun told me
that they dealt with S & J and felt them to be reputable. In addition, they
told me that anyone who is registered with the NC Nurseryman's Association
signs a statement that they will not wild collect plants. FWIW.
