Hi, I am in need of water plants. I really donot have anything to trade due to the fact I was in a bad car accident and lost 95 percent of my plants due to being laid up in bed for over 2 months, then winter hit and everything that survived neglect died from freezes. So I can send postage and/or pay for plants. Any water plants would be helpful.
Thanks!!!

wanted: water plants
I can take some of my yellow iris out of my koi pond and send you some.
Birdie
Really, oh thank you,, what would you like for them? Stamps? / money?
I can send you some Yellow pond canna's for postage, don't have many but willing to share. Figure $8 & i can send out day after payment, 1-2 nice rhizomes just starting to grow out from winter. Beautiful blooms all summer long.
Are pond cannas different from regular cannas?
I have some cannas,, never thought of putting them in pond?
Want some white water lilies?
Hi Kris Im sorry to hear you were injured and hope you are completely recovered ! I can truly relate .My husband had an atrial fib and a massive stroke that left him blind with severe amnesia and short term memory loss 4/27/07. he was in the hospital for over 4 months and the people caring for my gardens left the water on overnight and killed all of my koi :( then the back pond leaked and went dry and I lost all of my plants ... anyway I have 2 types of hardies and just now have unearthed a few tiny tropical lilies and am hoping that there is at least 1 of my favorites among them!
My husband was doing much better then the Drs predicted through still quite a battle and now it looks like he will need another brain surgery as the VP shunt he had inplanted in his brain in 1986 for hydrocephlyus is malfunctioning after a car struck the van he was going to blind training school in :( We should know within the next few days if he will have to have a new VP shunt installed .
anyway ,we are blessed that he has done so well and I am grateful that we have been able to be together for the last 2 years and our youngest is now 8.5 and the light of his Dads life :)
I have a small arc en ciel hardy and a MEXICANA HARDY It took over my pond here in central Florida.I believe I posted pics of the arc en ciel in daves photo database a few years ago. I would be happy to send you he water lilies as well as a pink asiatic lotus start if you like and a few water lettuce perhaps ? All I ask is that you pay postage .If you are interested drop me a line back channel . I would like to mail this Saturday or Monday .

Yes pond canna's are different they have a root systems that is water tolerant, I do not think regualar canna's will survive but may be wrong, I did but these as Water canna's. Someone chime in if I am off base here.
Bill
Humm all my cannas are in a ditch full of water.. I will try what I have, If it does not work I will d-mail you Bill, ok?
Em.....I can bring you an asst. of pond plants when I go to Jeri's in May. Just d-mail me later and I'll let you know what I have to share, including mosquito fish!
Hi did you ever receive the yellow iris's I sent you for your pond? Birdie
Birdie, I did not get anything from you,, sorry When did you send them?
Kris
Hi Birdie, Elf. Hope you dont mind Elf. You both seem to know about ponds. I am just adding one to the landscape here and know nothing. Birdie anything that you sent me can it grow in the pond? Do I just put things in the pots and place them in the pond ? Help!!
Which plants work in the pond do you know?
Robin
No problem Robin, I am learning what works and what doesn't work. I had plants last year and every single one died. I really did not have anything special, jsut a water lilie that never bloomed, so water lettece, and a couple of corkscrews grass type plants,, But after the accident everything died from neglect.
I donot mind if you jump in at all, I could stand to learn more that is for sure...

Did you get enough offers? I realized.. I have some of these but they are tiny starts .. they root really easily and are really marginals.. mine are growing in these pots in about 5 inches of water.. these started last year as little 3 inch plants! I have little starts growing off the tops of some of them.. I have pulled some off and stuck them in the pot and they root within a couple days.. the only problem I am having with keeping them rooted is the birds keep pulling them up!
I would love to have some. What do I need to send you for them?
Thanks
Kris
Just postage.. I can probably send in a bubble mailer.. I have those already.. I buy them by the box at sams.. can't see mailing them both ways.. that is a waste of stamps! I will d-mail you.
I'm in transit from Cocoa Beach FL to Cicero NY. I have a large pond and always have water lilies to share. Please contact me mid May if you are still looking for plants for postage. I have Hosta, water iris, and lilies. All can go in pots in the water. I also have some plants that are good for fish spawning. I think it's cabomba.

Robin, I',
m mailing out your planner on Thursday . I'll send you what I can from my
Koi pond too.
Can you use about a DOZEN frogs?? Actually have a Great snake that helps keep the frog population down. And the peacocks keep the snake population down. Can't you just hear me singing "Its the circle of life" LOL
By the way, ready for that Peacock egg?
Also,dear Elf.more yellow iris will be on the way Thursday also. They are MAGNIFICANT, very very bright.. Keep them contained though,or they do get a bit carried away with themselves. Birdie
Birdie

Thunder storms last night Kris. THey shook this 16 story building I am in. Power out trees blowing sideways!!More of the same tonight. Im going to see how close to the beach I can get in the car that is so I can take pictures. There are somenice blooms down here.....Still only crocus and jonquils at home.
ooooh, beach pictures.. as in big waves? If you get some.. I want to seeeee! AND push those thunder storms back this way! I am having to tear up some beds and amend the soil because we have not had any real rain in over a year and the plants are languishing. They have managed in the naturally sandy soil with my watering and just local amendment when adding a plant here and there until now but I have to add more and lots of polymer crystals to hold more moisture.
Ok Ill fan the rain your way!! Ill post pictures If I can get close enough!!
LhasaLover
If arejay59 fans some rain your way - please share!! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease!!! I am dreading this summer!! My veggie garden is already complaining about the heat!
Kris,
Do you want some water grass? I will have to look up the name. I was sent some in a trade and I can share some with you!! Let me know.
Dana
Do you all use the crystals? They hold water for a long time. I wish they made them so they would heat up lack of water never happens here just overabundence of snow.
