Default Aquatic Plants in the UK

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any aquatic retailers who have a good selection of
plants anywhere near me (I live in England, UK, between London and
Cambridge.)? I've been to 5 places in the last week and none have
anything I can use for carpeting and most have non-aquatic plants on
sale as if they were aquatic - up to 50% of their stock is like this in
some cases. I particularly want Glossostigma elantinoides and/or
Riccia fluitans and/or Hemianthus callitrichoides and Ludwigia
inclinata var. Verticulata (Cuba).

Alternatively, if anyone knows a reliable mail-order company shipping
within or to the UK that would be great too.

Any help would be very gratefully received.

Thanks!

There has been a debate on just this subject on UK.REC.AQUARIA.MISC so
it would probably be worth checking this out...

Personally, I go in and ask the LFS when they are expecting their
deliveries - usually they arrive Thursday/Friday ready for the weekend
rush...I try to get in before the Saturday rush...
