RE: native North American aroids

From: Lester Kallus lkallus at earthlink.net> on 1999.12.13 at 14:43:41(3934) Are you sure that the law applies in areas where it can't possibly survive over the winter? It's not just one place that sells it - it's almost all places that sell pond plants -- at least it was widely available 2 summers ago. This past summer I never looked so can't guarantee it was around. Large plants sold for even more than the previously quoted $3-$5! Are water hyacinths on that list too? Those too are available for sale here yet I know they clog southern waterways. Les +More At 02:51 PM 12/12/1999 -0600, you wrote: >Lester, >When the person sells you Pistia....
