Default 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" ).

That's me... 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...

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.

Male/Female plants matter??? I mean if you're REALLY needing a male plant..
how and why would it matter?? Honestly I'm only asking because I'm
curious... as to why?

Just to have. No reason, just something that was on my mind. If I
only had stuff I really need, I wouldn't have nearly so much stuff.

Ok, I was just curious.... I have cloned plants before, and I've even
hybridized several plants, and I can identify a male female plant in my
garden, but not in my aquarium, and I never really put 2 and 2 together...

Hey Red,

Can you share more info on the procedures involved on your above statement?
I love all this technical stuff, do you have access to a lab?........*Come
up to the lab, and see whats on the slab *

Coolest floating plant I've ever seen - Phyllanthus fluitans (Red
Root Floater).

On my list so far, I have
Lilaeopsis novazelandae and
Glossostigma elatinoides.

No Phyllanthus fluitans in my catalogue : (

As for male Egeria densa, my suppliers already think I'm a geek. No need
to reinforce the notion ;~)
