Does anyone know a source for Asclepias 'Silky Yellow'? It's an annual that I saw at the redesigned Ball Gardens in 2005 but haven't seen on the market. It's not a Ball Seed introduction. It has incredible appeal for butterflies, says Jim Nau, the trials manager at Ball. It would be an excellent companion plant for Salvia 'Mystic Spires', which is a Ball plant and very similar to 'Indigo Spires' but smaller.
I found Asclepias 'Silky Gold' at San Marcos Growers in California, but no 'Silky Yellow'. Any leads?

I found a mention of 'Silky Yellow' at the Fine Gardening web site. Perhaps the author may be able to identify for you the source of her planting.
