I can't think of any right now, but I'm sure there must be some.

I wish I knew. I just put them on a peat/sand mix, high water table, full
sun in the Greenhouse and waited.
I got a letter from Don Schnell verifying that Adrian Slack is indeed
dead, and has been in this condition for about 18 months. He had a stroke
and then as he was recovering he had a heart attack that did him in.
Apparently there was excessive use of grape, which didn't help. Under
new management Marston exotics has increased prices and reduced inventory.
I had mentioned to Don S. my own interest in going to S. Carolina, and he
sent me some detailed field notes of places to go. Since there was some
discussion of this here, I'll mention his general sites. If you want more
detailed info I can photocopy it. Of course, I do would do this with the
assumption that this is an observation/appreciation/photography venture,
AND NOT for collecting!
1)Lexington County----a bog west of Columbia, last visited in '88,
possibly purchased by Nature Conservancy. Probably still open to
visitors.
2)Berkeley Co. near Summerville, between Columbia and Charleston off
I-26. Don says this is a must see, stands of plants `just like the old
days.' (sniff)
3)Francis Marion National Forest and Santee Coastal Reserve
Also good sites.
Jeez, now I really want to go!
