I've got pickerel rush purple and I don't know which of my pink or white died through the winter so I've have one or the other? I'd like some of your frogbit and duckweed so let me know

We built ours so I'm not to sure what people put in a natural pond. You do have to put plants in your pond according to the size of the pond. Lilies are wonderful to have and come in a varity of colors. If there are ledges in the pond there are many Marginals to chose from. Water lilies, Babmboos, Water Celery, Rushes, Cattail, Buttercup, Buttered Popcorn,etc... Then for floaters Water Hyacinth and Water Lettuce are wonderful. You ask if we could sell. It is in the rules of this forum not to sell through the forum. Hope this will help you.

Frances I am interested in your Clemantis `Helios` and the 15" Key Lime. I offer in trade about 6 feet or more of Pennywort and a nice selection of Variegated Water Lettuce. If we have a trade send me your address and I will ship by Priority Mail on Monday. I have made over 125 trades since joining GW less than a year ago and have only been stiffed a couple of times and have had no complaints. But since you have a nice face I`ll ship first if that will make you happy. LMK Xjaxx Jack jatoni@sc.rr.com

Billy, If the N. Caerulea isn't already gone I could trade Charlene Strawn (peach), White O'Odorta (mini white), Sulphurea (yellow - is currently in full bud, soon to have blooms), Joey Tomocik (yellow), Umbrella Palm, and Green Taro. I would trade two of these plants for one Caerulea. Let me know what you think and whether it is too late. Happy ponding, Lucas D. Alderson www.geocities.com/lucasdalderson

Aloha all, my surgery went very well, so TY very much if you prayed for me. :) The surgical staff were only expecting one problem and they found 2. They did a great job, everything considered. I am still healing up and sore in spots, but despite this I already feel tons better than I did before I had the operation. :) I'm very grateful my health is turning around. About water chestnuts- I don't have a water garden (or water chestnuts) right now but I used to grow them when I lived in Calif. Some large cities such as San Francisco, CA and Houston, TX have a Chinatown. In Chinatown there are Asian veggie markets that sell fresh, unpeeled water chestnuts when they are in season. If you put an unpeeled fresh water chestnut in a water garden it can grow and multiply. Also, water chestnut is sold by a website that specializes in water plants. If you want the specific info please email me, so I can avoid spamming everyone with a merchant URL.

I can't thank everyone enough for the trades - I have almost all the plants I lost last year! Of course our plight was very minor compared to many others. Family and critters are doing well and "things" can be replaced.

Sorry, the water lettuce is gone for now, but I still have frogbit, duckweed, and umbrella palm. Still hoping for small pieces of zebra rush, sweet flag, gamecock iris, and dwarf bamboo. (I can dream, can't I?)

Do you still need Pickerel? I have that and water lilies. They are pink and red. I don't know which is which though. I need water lettuce and duckweed.

Thanks
