You have to look through the plants to see where they are native to, but it's the only place I've found.

Myriophyllum pinnatum
Ludwigia repens
Ricciocarpus natans
Caulerpa prolifera (saltwater)
Potamogeton crispus (this one is technically a noxious weed, but it's also the only one I actually collected from the wild. The one thing I found in my local river was an invasive species. Go figure, right?) Also, I have only like a single stalk of this one. It doesn't like 75 F water too much.
For $10 I can ship any/all of the above anywhere in the US.

Erica, I might be interested in some of your plants, minus the invasive. Once I look into state regulations, I will send you a message.
And thank you for the information about the websites. Those will give me a good place to start.

Oh, yeah, no, I can't ship that. It's illegal. I guess I included it in the list of what plants I have unnecessarily, whoops.Erica, I might be interested in some of your plants, minus the invasive. Once I look into state regulations, I will send you a message.

Thanks in advance. I am trying to stay away from exotic invasives, which is quite difficult with aquatic plants.

Have you searched http://www.aquabid.com/ ? The vendor Aquaman30 seems to have some for sale. Maybe if you private message them they'll sell you some.Sorry to interject, but has anyone else found good sources of native plants for sale? I am specifically looking for Elodea canadensis, and the only online retailer I have found seems to be Carolina Biological. They are currently sold out and as there are no other items I would be interested in, shipping will be quite high.

Gerald, thank you. I sent you a PM. I don't mind algae or Najas at all. Most likely, I already have both in the tank. I am so very excited. I thought I was going to have to go wading into ponds to look for this myself, and frankly I'm terrible at field work of any kind.

I could totally lug buckets, though.

It's much more fun in groups.I went on a spider collection trip once, got attacked by furious bees on day one. Oh, and then there was the time I went wading in Long Island Sound and ended up with hundreds of tiny red bumps on my feet. Let's just say that I get the feeling that nature is trying to tell me something.

I am also a nature-leery person and can say first hand that it's a totally different experience going out collecting with Gerald and other natural-nature-lovers than it is going out with just you and one or two of your city dwelling friends. With a big group of 15 people it's more like a party than a punishment.
