OK,
I ordered the following marginal plants as were suggested to me:

Moneywort Bacopia 2 $10.00 USD
Parrot Feather 2 $10.00 USD
Sensitive Plant 2 $10.00 USD
Variegated Water Celery 2 $10.00 USD
Water Celery 2 $10.00 USD
Blue Pickerel Plant 1 $5.00 USD
Venezuelan Poppy 1 $5.00 USD
Blue Bells 1 $5.00 USD
Black Magic Taro 1 $5.00 USD

Now my question is planting them. Do I just set them in water or what? I have several shallow pools as part of my water flow where I can set some in pots. Since the above was $90 inclusive of shipping and I haven't even started to buy real plants for the pond, I figure to raise some babies from the above. I ordered two of most in order to give me more possibilities of growing even more.

The picture shows the tanks without the filter material. The next will show the final result waiting for flowing water and plants.
