I'm pretty lucky I guess. There are EIGHT "aquatic" centers within an
hour's drive from my house. Ponds have become very popular here in the
last few years. Three of the places are "koi farms" and sell fish year
round.

I just bought a huge, lovely Black Taro plant for just $11.99. I try to
stay away from tropicals (since I am in zone 5) and buy hardy stuff. I
have water hyacinth now and will add some water lettuce in another week
or so. Has been too cold here. My cattails from last year look pretty
good. I'm looking forward to lily blooming...
