There are three listed for NC here: http://www.bambooweb.info/ShowFilterSou ... &Button=GO

You can also click on the "Plants and products" link to see what each one carries.

Keep an eye on Plant Delights Nursery. They do not specialize in boo, of course, but they are likely to carry anything, especially if relatively new and unusual and tried and true for our area. I know they are currently carrying Borinda Angustissima- the only boo I can recall without going to their site. I really expect good things from B. Angus...

Quite the character is Tony Avent. He's got a passion for plants that's for sure. Was down there a few years back. Nice plants.

And they like showing their hate mail.

I usually find that equally entertaining as the catalog covers
To Tony at Plant Delights:

I have meant to write for some time- ever since your fall catalogue arrived, in fact. You have many interesting plants that I would like to grow. However, I was so horrified by your fall cover that I put the catalogue into the wood stove without opening it. There was, is, and will never be anything funny about the abuse of prisoners, whether they are human or plant.
