For anyone with a water garden, ther is a co op going on right now for lilies, lotuses and marginals. I've bought from this vendor for the past two years and their plants are top quality and the prices can't be beaten.

Here is one of my lotuses from last summer.
Hey, y'all,
The water lilies look just luscious!! I wish that I had 25 ponds!
If you need marginals, I have plenty of Variegated Sweet Flag and Licorice Sweet Flag if any of you want to trade rather than purchasing it. It grows really fast and is easy to share.
Japanese Rush, Japanese Sweet Flag, Grassy Leaved Sweet Flag Acorus gramineus 'Variegatus'

'Licorice' short and cute, smells good, too. Can send starts that are well rooted- easy to grow 'Licorice'

I also have Water Willow

Would be happy to trade starts/plants for other starts/plants - no more seeds, please, I have too many seeds to plant now as it is.
I would have sworn your photo was a dahlia, Ardesia. What a drop-dead gorgeous flower!
Thanks, that is Emerald Daybreak, grown in a pot on my deck. $8.95 in the co op, $39.00 everywhere else and I believe the quality of the co op plants is far superior too.
