I had this plant for a couple months and it never really took off

Its a beautiful plant too!

I am also looking for a few rarities to bring back with me!

I have a couple people who PMed me about bringing some of the Florida Sunset crypt, which I will do. I will bring enough for a few people to get it growing and hopefully they will be distributed to who ever else wants them.

Also, I hope someone brings a net, battery powered air pump and 5G buckets or cooler for any live stuff we collect. Dwarf crays etc.

Looks like Thursday and Saturday are isolated thunder storms, but Friday seems to be partly cloudy which is fine with me.

I'll be bringing some fish nets, bags, and maybe a small container for any live fishies.

I can bring a medium cooler (holds about 12 gallons). We can use it as a live-well or as a storage container for everyone's goodies.
