If you could order any plant..
Based on your previous recommendations for floating, foreground,
midground etc, I have very nicely stocked plant tanks (6 x 60gallons), *my thanks to all those who helped me*, but now, my discerning customers want more unusual stuff, so I'm back for more recommendations. I come armed with 2 catalogues from trans-shippers, with a combined listing of 1,968 tropical plants. There are some repetitions between the 2 companies but not as much as you might expect, and there are internal repetitions as they can be listed as bulbs, potted, bunched or loose, so I figure there are about 500 unique varieties available. Did I mention I have an open account with these 2 suppliers ;~) If you want some of the names, just ask and I'll do my best. For example, in Anubius, they show: =ANUBIUS= 1.barteri var. barteri 2.barteri var. oriental green 3.barteri var. coffefolia 4.barteri broad leaf 5.barteri broad leaf small 6.barteri variegated 7.barteri fan 8.barteri marble 9.congensis 10.congensis-emerge 11.heterophylla 12.gigantea 13.hastifolia 14.hastifolia-emerge 15.lanceolata 16.lanceolata-emerge 17.barteri var. nana 18.barteri var. nana-emerge 19.nana 'small' -emerge 20.nana 'wrinkled leaf' 21.nana 'wrinkled leaf small' 22.nana 'eyes' 23.nana 'marble small' 24.nana 'narrow leaf' 25.nana 'narrow leaf small' 26.nana 'round leaf' 27.nana 'round leaf small' 28.petite 29.Gabon 30.afzeli 31.gracilis As feedback for your previous help, I had a customer come in with a shopping list, which she had collected from the web. She left the store with Anubius coffefolia, Echinidorous tennelus, Frogbit, Red Tiger Lotus, Ulvaceous undulatous, Crypts, Java moss and ferns, and some Riccia fluitans (almost all these items were recommended to me from here). She was beaming and visibly restraining herself from doing a jig each time I said "yes, I have those over here" ). -- NetMax |

I get jiggy when I see something different... although, I'll probably not do an irish jig when someone's watching... I wait until the get around the corner first....hahaha.. One thing that usually gets me is the LFS will have the run of the mill stuff, but when they get a nice rotala, or ludwig specimen, they've not a clue how to keep it, 2 days later, it's junk.... I keep prying this one LFS to let me setup their plant tank, and she's just not interested.... I'd like to see more reds, like rotala indica, etc... some sunset hygros.... FWIW, there's a guy , CS, that always posts with new plants etc... check out his list and see if you can get them too... he's got alot of exotics... never ordered any, but I did see the list once.. pretty nice, extensive list... -- RedForeman ©® future fabricator and creator of a ratbike streetfighter!!! ========================== 2003 TRX450ES 1992 TRX-350 XX (For Sale) '98 Tacoma Ext Cab 4X4 Lifted.... ========================== ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤° `°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø is that better?? |

Male Egeria densa.
I don't really want some, I just wonder if there is any in the aquarium trade. All the plants I have are female, probably from a clone of the first one I bought. I suppose most of the plants in at least the US and Canada are parts of a clone imported, without importation of different plants from their native area we all have the same one. Just thinking, never mind. -- - Charles - -does not play well with others |

Male/Female plants matter??? I mean if you're REALLY needing a male plant.. how and why would it matter??

I had some lillies that I was going to throw away... but a friend told me to give them to him he wanted to experiment with them... So I took them to his house where he had numerous other same plants... He took the plant I had, and cross pollenated it with the others he had and 2 months later, brought it back, but instead of it giving white blooms, they were blue... Ever seen a blue lily?? Me neither... He took several of the dogwoods I had and changed their colors, cut and spliced their stems, started several babies from one, and now I've got a whole row of pink/white red/white and red dogwoods... They normally come in pink _ or _ white... rarely in pink and white... pink bud here, white bud there, back and forth.... -- RedForeman ©® future fabricator and creator of a ratbike streetfighter!!! ========================== 2003 TRX450ES 1992 TRX-350 XX (For Sale) '98 Tacoma Ext Cab 4X4 Lifted.... ========================== ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸¸,ø¤° `°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø is that better?? |

Oh yeah, I love Madagascar Lace, I order it all the time. The weirdest
thing is the way it grows under different conditions. In soft water 1.3wpg = tall thin leaves, but in hard water 2.7wpg = low wide flat leaves. I'm not certain how much the water hardness, higher pH and lower CO2 comes into play. I've run lace under higher light soft water and still gotten the traditional big leaves in the mid & upper levels. I wish I could always get the lace to give me these wide low leaves. It made a great canopy for small bottom-feeders and baby fish. I almost had a complete community hanging out under the protection of the leaves. It's neat to see them inches away from fish who would normally try to eat them. It's too bad that there aren't more lace varieties available. New plants by hybridization is an idea I could get behind, as soon as we are finished exploring what naturally exists. -- http://www.netmax.tk/ "Happy'Cam'per" wrote in message ...
