Water Plants

Jack Frost will be here before we know it......I have a ceramic water tub outside that is filled with water hyacanths and water lettuce. Can anyone use them....?

I just hate to see them frozen and slimy. If you can winter them over they would be grand next year.

I'm in the Conyers area and could meet you at Stonecrest Mall.

No charge on these.....they just need a home.

Not to be the grinch that stole christmas but I think we'd probably have a standing ovation if water hyacinths were frozen and killed.

Here is a link that might be useful: Why doesn't QQ like water Hyacinth?

ohhhhh OK.........I just have two in a water container and I would never put them in the wild. I do know they have clogged up many waterways.
I thought someone might have a indoor pond that would like to have them.

I didn't know there was such a thing as indoor ponds. Now I'm getting *all kinds* of ideas in my head.
