Hi,
I am having some trouble locating all of the plants I want at my LFS. Where do you buy yours? Any comments good or bad would be appreciated.
 
Have you thought to ask your LFS's if they take order?

Sometimes they will order it themselves and you can just go pick it up ... =) saves the hassle of shipping and builds a good relationship with the lfs.
 
Check the swap and shop section of www.plantedtank.net
you can also check the same section at www.aquaticplantcentral.com These people have many species, anything you want for minimal money. Make a post like WTB limnophila aromatica .... someone will respond to you promptly and make arrangements. or you can check the list and see what is FS and respond to them. You will be hard pressed to find a better resorce. i sell about 5-10 species a week on there and for no money, just for shipping.... <5 bucks> because I have to prune anyway. Some of the more rare species may be 10 bucks. Anyway another good resource is your local Aquarium society auctions or Robert H @ www.aquabotanic.com.
Hope that helps.

great suggestions!!! APC is my first choice. most of the time you can get things cheaper than in your LFS. not to mention the people selling it to you know what their talking about which isnt alway the case in LFS.
