No Hooker's fairybells, but I did get:
- Thalictrum alpinum (marked 'alpinium')
- Tellima grandiflora
- Thalictrum occidentale (may be male or female, don't know yet; photo is male)
- Dodecatheon hendersonii
- Maianthemum dilatatum
- Linnaea borealis (twinflower! yeah!)
- Smilacina stellata
- Vancouveria hexandra
- Streptopus amplexifolius
- Heuchera grossulariifolia ('grossularifolia' on label; apparently found tetraploid fairly often)
- Mitella trifida (more mitrewort to go with my M. pentandra! I didn't know this existed!)
