buying flower seeds

What are the best places to order flower seeds. I already have the catalogue from Select Seeds, oh my, oh my, 5 kinds of heirloom violets, 5 or 6 kinds of heliotrope. T & M is kind of pricey, and local outlets have a very limited selection. Unless it is a rose or fruit tree, I would rather not pay shipping charges for plants.

Baker Creek and Seed Savers Exchange have a very good selection of heirloom flower seeds. I had good experience with both.

Baker Creek is on this page.

check out the sunrise seed site some slightly unusual selections there and I think quite reasonable.

Ordered from them for years. Robin is a very special person, and she's very knowledgeable. I've never had a problem with germination with anything I ordered from her, and she has an outstanding selection including many cool vines and flowers for the south.
