Does anyone know of any websites where I can order some meža zemenes (live plants, not the berries) for delivery in the USA?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Paldies!

Do you know exactly which “meza zemenes” you are referring to?  I doubt without a more specific identification you’ll be able to find them - after all, what grows in your mezs may not be what grows in my mezs or in the next mezs!  If there’s a particular cultivar of strawberries called “meza zemenes” in LV - what is the name?

I was looking for the kind that grew in my grandmother’s garden.  After lots of googling and browsing, I finally found what I was looking for.  I found that in English, they are called Alpine Strawberries.  I also found a website that sells them (http://www.thestrawberrystore.com/) and ordered a whole bunch of seeds.  The website seems kind of 1996ish, so, hopefully, I didn’t get swindled.  I really hope that this works out.  I miss the amazing sweet flavor of these strawberries.

Hi Imant,
I see that you beat me with the answer to your querry about wild strawberies. Years ago I had a dificulty to get a rid of the Alpine strawberies. They were creeping all over the back garden. Yes, they were very sweet, but rather small. Sparows seemed to enjoy them too.  I think there are still some roots amongst the flowers. Glad you sorted your problem and have lots of sweet straws.
