This suggestion may be a long shot but have you considered seed catalogs?

There must be at least a couple of seed catalogs listed on the internet.

Did you do a Google search?

Heh.
Come pull up some confederate jasmine at my house!
You can have it for free, as it's rooted in areas where I don't want it!

Carefull pulling of the now "air layered" areas should yield live plants.

Free!!!

Nope. ;-)

Not really...
Similar, related, but the flowers are different.

Hmm
This is what I found:
CONFEDERATE JASMINE

Confederate jasmine or star jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) is
highly prized for its heavily scented clusters of phlox-like flowers,
which bloom on twining stems in spring and summer. It is hardy in
Central and Coastal South Carolina, but tender in the Piedmont.

But it seems that this is also called Star Jasmine:

Happily, except that even tho' these bloom profusely, I've never had the 
flowers go to seed!

What I could do I suppose is to yank some (with roots) out of the 
ground, toss them in a ziplock bag with wet paper towels and mail that 
to you?

I'd only charge for Priority mail postage......

I could stand to remove the ones that are heading yet again for my herb 
garden! <G>

I used to think they were the same also until I started googling some 
plants available at local nurseries this spring. I'd been calling what I 
had "star jasmine" but it has the tiny little twisted looking blossoms. 
Sweet scent. 

One of the nurseries had both star and confederate jasmine listed and my 
flowers matched their picture of confederate. The foliage and growth 
patterns of both appear to be similar.

'zactly. ;-)

I think it's kinda the same thing as the varieties of "mexican oregano". 
<lol>

Mine looks just like this:

http://almostedenplants.com/mall/wpe6F.jpg

I almost regret planting the stuff! It's very tough and invasive, and 
very VERY difficult to pull out and thin! I pay Linda well to do it for 
me...

I just went out and looked at mine, (it grows on my front fence) and 
it's fixin' to bloom it's head off as usual. There is quite a bit trying 
to invade the driveway. I may yank it and put it in some pots and see if 
I can get it going well in some pots, then take it and trade it for 
other plants.

There are a couple of nurseries around that will do 2 for 1 trades with 
me for healthy propagates of some plants.

Anyone need any rosemary??????
It needs thinning too! ;-)

Thanks for the offer, Katra.  I have found some cuttings locally.
I still have not come across seeds.  Maybe they don't give seeds until
a long, long time.  I can't even find them on the 'net.
