Don't think they would pass customs!

Take a boat around Cuba to Florida and meet addy sometime to grab some plants at her place in Florida

 

[addy1]

lmao, jw, they watch the seas

 

[j.w]

Is it illegal to take a boat from the Cayman islands to Florida or is it just illegal to take the plants back? Oh heck what's life w/o taking a few chances.............especially when it's not me

 

[addy1]

Well I was thinking of those ones that sneak in at night jw, no customs check................

You can take a boat to cayman islands (your own) but I believe it's illegal to bring plants without declaring them. But then again what are the odds of getting caught? Just go up to an unpopulated short drop off your goodies then park your boat and get a car to retrieve your goodies.

Ok after a long day of cleaning, trimming boxing plants, they will be picked up tomorrow on their way. Usually a 2 day shipping. The weight was a lot less than I thought, this is the first time I have sent just growing plants.

So I used all the small boxes I could find at home, to save money for everybody.

The plants, will be wilted looking, crushed looking, but put them in some water, shallow and let them float. Or right into your bog, or anywhere wet. They recover wonderfully. Hope I got everything in every bag, it got overwhelming and one long day.

Bags................

plants

creeping primrose yellow flowers around 2 feet or so. grows by runners.

pickerel rush, I don't have a lot so you will get a chunk of it, put in wet and it will grow.

rush, just starting to grow roots and shoots a great filter plant where you don't mind it expanding in a circle

obedience plant I have it crown dry and crown wet it does fine. It grows great along the edge of the pond long hanging roots, the fish love to spawn in. Or in the bog or in wet dirt. Great purple flowers and good nectar for my bees lol
two or so feet tall

roots put in water they grow, marsh betony or penny wort, not sure

blue for get me not, crown wet crown dry does good either way, groom mid summer it gets straggly, low growers

creeping jenny, in the pond, bog, ground, low grower

marsh willow, 12 inches tall or so, purple flowers, spreads by runners, in a plastic baggie by itself, I don't have a lot so just sent a sprig to each of you. Baby it and it will take off. i.e. keep from other plants overgrowing it.

misc stems roots etc tossed in, they could be water mint, penny wort, or other things. Let them grow if it is something you don't want toss. I like water mint, great nectar for the bees, late in the season.

All of the pulled plants are gone except a few pieces too yucky to send lol

I'm so excited - thank you! I wish my pond had more dirt around it, rather than our stone patio...but I do have some areas and will get right to work! I'm also planning on a water garden

 

[addy1]

Even though the plants are small this is my bog in the fall of the year it was built



summer the next year
