Hi Donna, Since we're on the Subject of Aponogetons in this thread, and since Dawn is looking for a good source of Aponogeton crispus, I thought perhaps you might want to say something about Wilma and her "The Cause" charity, since both you and Deborah have had nothing but great experiences with getting plants from her.
I just now went up on Wilma Duncan's website ( < www.wilmasthecause.org/ >) and noticed she has A. crispus available, priced at $8. To some, this may sound a bit steep, but maybe you can fill in what someone can expect from Wilma as far as plants go -- and I believe she always gives extras. I doubt if there's any minimum, either, is there? I noted her shipping charges are just exactly and only what it actually costs -- no special "handling" fees or anything extra (except for live fish packing, and that's probably more for the materials than anything else).
As we haven't mentioned Wilma in a good while, this may be a good time to do so, if you care to (since you know more about her), as there may be members who are unfamiliar with her and the quality of her plants. Ray
