Hi,

I have a LOT of water lettuce available to trade. Its aquarium-grown, so should be transitioned to bright sunlight slowly (it will burn if put directly out in full blazing sun right off the bat ... the aquarium lights are much less strong).

I could also send a few clippings of aquarium-grown Hydrocotyle, which grows easily submerged, with quarter-sized leaves. I only can send a few sprigs of that, but it will grow quickly. believe it is H. leucocephala, but I'm not positive.

I also can send some Limnobium, aka Frogbit, another floater. It is more tropical (won't withstand cold weather) but is also a nice floater with spongy leaves.

And finally, I could include a stem or two of a pond plant grown from some I collected in Upstate NY. It coils around the surface, and has pretty frilled leaves, but is really not a well behaved aquarium plant. I *think* its Parrot's Feather, Myriophyllum aquaticum, but I'm not positive.

I'd love to trade a package for some Yellow Flag Iris. I'm in Eastern Central MA.

Let me know if this would be good.
Thanks,
Jane

Here is a link that might be useful: Hydrocotyle aquatic plants

I have.....
water lilies: "Joey Tomaczek" (a hardy canary yellow) and "Texas Dawn" (softer yellow much larger bloom, also a hardy lily) Check out the photo at http://www.waterplantsforponds.com/hardy-water-lilies/texas-dawn.htm
I also have bacopa and violet stemmed taro. I'll send any or all to you for postage. I don't want anything in return.

I was a newbie at this once too, and I really appreciated all the pass-along plants people gave me.

Lemmeknow,
