Nelson's 120P

[Fiske]

Hi all,You can probably get many of the same things from a German? Dart Frog site.

I've got plenty of Loquat and Magnolia leaves you can have, I would just need to find the cost of posting them to Denmark.

cheers Darrel

I'd happily pay the postage for that.

Import tax can be a killer.

I don't mind the import tax that much even, it is not too bad. It's more the 25% VAT (shipping INCLUDED) and the fee for the customs treatment that makes it highway robbery.

Is that Danish VAT ?.

Is that Danish VAT ?.

Yup. It's pretty harsh.

After buying it twice in the UK,and getting the wrong plant twice 😡,Zozo kindly sourced and sent me one 🙂.
The flowers only last a day.
Hydrocleys nymphoides.

Shipping is a flat rate $18 to the UK,is it the same for France ?.
Import tax can be a killer.I got lucky with mine,but have just done another order.

Let's see your tank Eduard.

18$ !!!! It's like winning the lottery mate
No, I payed 45 $ in shipping and 31 € in customs highway robbery that is, plain and simple

Stunning isn't it.. 🙂 Mine is outside catching sunlight and still only making submersed leaves the water still not warm enough. But they are red in color, a bit marbled too.. I wonder if they stay red once they float or if they turn green? In very low light indoor tanks the submersed form seems to resamble vallisinera and the floaters stay away. Very versatile plant. 🙂

As for the pictures, you'll find them under "Tint the World " post

If Neil yet didn't share any, chances are he's likely the only one in the UK growing it, at the moment.

 

[Nelson]

I've only shared to one person.
I'll send you some Lindy,if you don't mind the risk of snails/eggs.
