Roy-How much shipping would you need to 62896 in Illinois for a care package
? Having a tough time getting anything going this year. Got some Parrots
feather and Hyacinth from a guy on Ebay, but that is all I have a start of
this year. Local guy used to give us Hyacinth by pick up load now gets 4.00
a plant from a landscaper. They charge 8.00 per plant on their jobs !!!
Would really appreciate your kindness and help-jb1

I bought stuff from them one time and was kind of dissapointed in what
I paid for and what I actually received.

What is your zone and what type plants are you looking for. I can send
parrots feather, taro, frog bit, water clover, umbrella palm (dwarf
and reg) miniature bamboo, sensitive fern (Touch me vine) penny wort,
and water celery for price of shipping........as I always am inundated
with these plants.


Get a couple of feeder at 10 to 12 cents each or even the larger 25 to
29 cent comets. They grow relatively fast. I fyou look at some of the
tanks in the petshops (like Petco or Petsmart) there are some good
looking white and red or orange feeders and even some fantails......I
started with feeders and in one years time they are huge

I see your from Miss / Louisiana area, so sensitive fern would do ok
in your area if its the southern portion of those states.
