## Wow! That is a lot! A man at a local Aquarium-Pond store in Nashville
pays me $8.00 for anything nice in a 2 gallon pot with gravel over the soil.


Wish I had some one like that. In the beginning I offered them to a local
place that was just beginning to do pond stuff. Their nursery person said
to the owner, "Those (pond plants) don't grow well here." Her experience
was some friends pond who must have had a black thumb and VERY black fungus
colored thumb not to be able to grow pond plants. I went to another nursery
and they told me, we only by certified health plants from people we trust.
I guess I must have had my T-shirt that said, "Loves insults." Needless to
say, I'm uncutting them, but I'd rather have one place to drop off and have
instant cash, than deal with calls and drop bys.

## Water celery? They have a plant here I've seen called water-celery and
water-fern.


The only water celery I know is that one Kathy found a picture of just a
week or so ago. This looks fern-like, like azolla, but it all grows on the
rocks, and doesn't repel water off the surface like azolla, so it is shiny.
I did a search on water-fern, but didn't come across a picture of what I
have. I may have to E Sunset and see if they know the name. ~ jan
