You can actually post here in the freshwater plant area,asking or someone,or go through Aquabid.com.

If you dont mind duckweed,I know a user in PA who has some and Im almost positive she would be willing to share some with you.

hi I'm in south central Pa and as bev said I do have some duckweed that I would be more than happy to mail to you. I have been cleaning it out weekly, but if you are interested I will let it grow some and send you a nice gob of it.

aquabid as said before and liveaquaria sells plants as well.

Freshwater Plants: Freshwater Aquarium Plant Species for the Home Aquarium

I haven't bought any plants from liveaquaria before I just know they sell them.

I've had some pretty good results with AquaBid.com and would certainly second that suggestion. Just have to be diligent with your item review before you purchase - I've seen some outrageous shipping fees before.

Also eBay has been good to me. Good luck!

I have duckweed I can mail to you for free. Of course, you will hate me in a matter of months. Duckweed gets into the filter, clogs the sink, makes it difficult to feed the fish when you must swat the stuff out of the way first!
