Looking for Asclepias variegata seeds

Does anyone have a source for Asclepsias variegata seeds?

I have also seen it called redring milkweed, white milkweed, or white woods milkweed.

That's a hard one to find. I've love seeds, of that too if anyone has any.

Mona...how did you make out with the Asclepias variegata seeds? My seeds came out of cold moist stratification looking moldy and dead, but I now have 3 happy little seedlings under lights. I hope you had similar success. This milkweed needs all the help it can get.

I didn't get mine into the frig until a month ago. I'll be planting it this weekend. I don't have too much room inside to plant seeds. I'll let you know if it sprouts. Thanks.
