re: one hand clapping -- LOCAL influences
>>I wonder what Tom Barr's planted tanks look like? He
seems to use a lot of local plants in creating them.
Amano tends to stick to using store bought
varieties.<<
This is something I am very interested in. Finding
very cool plants that are native, and not in
circulation with the LFS. We can make our own impact
on the international scene in this way.
I think we (definitely myself) are guilty of wishing
we had this of that plant from Asia, while we ignore
what is underfoot.
Like Juncus repens....a native plant. Unique and
beautiful.

(a pretty bad picture however, that does not do
justice to what a nice stand would look like).
Does anyone on this list have example of little-known
native plants that we might find use for?
