I just recently got introduced to the seed savers exchange and ordered some seeds from them www.seedsavers.org and must say I was quite impressed with some of the seeds they offered and the prices. They also shipped promptly and I received my seeds within a week of ordering over the web. The only expensive seed I ordered were some of Vigna caracalla or the corkscrew vine (5 for $5.00). I purchased a plant from Jackson and Perkins last spring and it cost with shipping well over $25.00. The vine is supposed to be hardy in zone 7 but with our winter this year, I decided to have some standbys just in case. The smell of the flowers is just indescribable when it blooms. Hopefully my current vine survived.

You can order Vigna from the Monticello site. About 15 seeds for $2.25 plus s/h. I got mine right away with a history of the seeds from the Monticello estate of Jefferson. I'd like to find the snail vine seeds :)
