WANTED: wanted: water plants for small new pond

18 years ago

I have a small new pond my mom put in as a surprise to celebrate the birth of my new baby boy! I would love a few different things for it! It allready has a good size FROG that appeared a few nights ago! I don't have much to offer as far as plants, I have a lot of IRIS (unnamed but pretty) and some homemade PINTS of Strawberry JAM. Thanks

I have some "Greater Duckweed". I'll send you a good amount of it if you'd like. This stuff is a floater,
and under the right conditions it'll prevent algae
growth. My pond has never been clearer. It prefers
still water but mine lives in my pond with a waterfall...
Just doesn't reproduce rapidly in moving water.
Just email me! I don't have any Iris, I'd like some if you are willing. Thanks,
Kenny

Gail, What can you get. We have a water garden with three koi and with the drought last summer I had a really hard time keeping the algae down. I wa told I needed lots more plants as we only have 4 little ones lol. I would like to find things hardy in our zone but still appealing to the eye or fragrant. Has to be safe for the fish and the cheaper the better as we are on a tight budget. I know I'm asking for the moon but anyhelp would be great. Thank you in advance, Tamara

I'm looking for some pond plants that would go well in small containers. I'd love a dwarf lotus and/or waterlily, maybe some dwarf papyrus. Basically anything that'd be OK in a bucket on my porch that has pretty flowers. :) I don't have a lot to trade so I'd love if this could be for SASBE but if that's not kosher we'll see if we can work something out. Please note that I'm a sloooow trader, but can get your stuff to you faster if it can be mailed out of my mailbox at home. Thanks! -kettish
