Beasts,
You in Ohio? What part if I may ask. I was born and raised in SE Ohio and will be back for a week starting tomorrow. Anyway....
As for the plant yous eek, it sounds familiar. Its a serge or paper rush right? Your best bet would be to collect it locally. I know many frown upon that but many lakes in my area are drained in the fall for flood control. Seneca Lake is a good example of that. Another option is to find a company that grows plants for wetlands reclimation and construction. A call to a local branch of one of Jim's links may get you some leads. If your in Ohio, a few well placed calls to Ohio State and/or some time on their website should get you some leads and you may make a friend in the process.
If your willing to pay shipping also, there are many such businesses in the NY, Ma, Ct area that specialize in native aquatics and marginals. One local to me is New England Aquatic Plants (or Wetland Plants, I forget) and they even have a website. Generally these companies are not very public with the advertising as they focus on govn't and large scale contractors. |
