DaveB, I'm sorry I can't help you with the ID of those plants, but I do have two questions.

1) Theres a post under Questions & Observations about a guy from Southern CA. who wants some info. on building a pond. Could you reply to him, and maybe give him some insight? It's about 3/4 way down on the first page.

2) Is that youngster hugging those catfish?? Don't they have spines?

Thanks.
