Its a gamble indeed, I would say many may not be true aquatic, and with knowing what they are could be a nightmare, so when you get them try and work out what you have, get a thread up and see if anyone can work any out, then you can use what you know. Otherwise for the cost, you can't loose too much! Let us know!

im not bad at identifying them myself tbh, and plants alive dont sell any none aquatic plants so im safe in that, but i'll let everyone know what i get =]

If I lived in the UK, I'd be ordering from them.    I don't really care about which plants I have in my home tank, as long as they look nice.  And if I could ID them as South American, I'd drop them into my biotype tank at work...  I'd be looking at the background bunch for myself...  ah well... maybe a little searching will find me a US supplier like this one.   (Unless someone knows of a US supplier)
 
 
BTW, what's the shipping on that?

BTW, what's the shipping on that?

 
£4.25 from them. I have a potential project that this may suit, so I'd be interested to see what you get.

The danger is though that as they're surplus they'll be different every week so what is in the bundle this week is highly likely to be different new week.

 

[AdamHawk]

That is very true, what would be nice if they could do a bulk order of and consisting things you want. If price allows of course.

2 is an Alternanthera.
 
3, 4 and 6 all look like forms of bacopa to me.

 

[mike455555]

6 is tinny, i'll get a better pic, im tempted to agree with 3 and 4 though

thats 6

the big black leaf is about a cm across and is a plant the size of plant 2

 

[DrRob]

In that case it could be some HC.

 

[mike455555]
