Plant search (post #14365)

I'm on the hunt for a source of the following(would be a major plus if the source is close to the Chicagoland area):

False nettle (Boehmera cylindrica) - Larval food plant for red admiral, question mark and comma.

New York Ironweed (vernonia noveboracensis) - Was able to obtain Missouri ironweed and have common but my source for the NY is dried up.

Red Baneberry (Actaea rubra) - Have the white but have never been able to find this one thru my sources.

Additional question: One of my books makes a reference to a plant called buckbrush. Anyone know the botanical and cultural details on this plant?
Once again, thanks for your support.

I have NY ironweed if you want to pay the postage for it.

I think Heronswood sells Actaea rubra.

Thanks Jeana, I will take any of your NY ironweed that you have too much of(don't want to deprive you of a butterfly attractant) and would gladly pay postage.

Email me your address and I'll try to get one off to you next week if the rain will hold off a few days. I had one that had to go anyway.
