    you can try.
    in no particular order

    a) biotope

    b) heisenberg (serangoon nth), although they don't have much now.

    c) order from c328 or keong seong or any other lfs that can order using the oriental catalogue

    d) teo's (depends on your notion of exotic)

    e) system and control engr.

    f) forum people that collect exotic plants. (but you gotta pay still, not nice not to anyway, help defray costs in other words)

    I'm still looking for exotic echinodorus (since I can't seem to keep tonina, mayaca, eriocaulon/cae alive)

    Why dun you search thru the forum for ppl selling it?

    If you wanna see/admire the plant before buying, your best bet would be to Biotope. Else you may want to visit Teo/Ah Pek. They sometimes sell also...depending on your luck...

    But you should probably know that exotic plants always come with a price, dun expect to pay the same price as those common plants.

    You can find biotope address in the LFS list..on the top right hand side of the webpage. Currently, the plant variety at biotope is low...Charles say he will be ordering plants and they should be in by 3-4 days...maybe you can call him to place the order for the type of plants you like.

    you can purchase the oriental plant catalogue from lfs. if you order plants from lfs, most likely you'll be asked to choose from the catalogue.

    search the lfs list at the top for the address of Biotope.

    Ivanilla,
    oriental has 2 catalogues.
    older one is about $10.
    newer one is more comprehensive and cost about $30++.

    Eddie,
    check the lfs list for ah pek farm, listed as Capricorn.

    You want sword plants?
    That I have. We call them weeds here.
    What types of swords are you looking for?

    I have native Echinodorus berteroi, at least 3 other species on the loose around here. Store and commericial growers have a few species. The hybrid indian red is popular.
    E. urguayensis is popular.

    I don't keep them since they get too big(most of them).
    There's micro red chain swords also (E tenellus red)

    Most folks here would kill for what you have there.
    Sword seeds can be sent and most swords will make the trip and rebound I'd imagine.

    Might want to wait? SARS issues? It appears that it will not go away anytime soon so maybe not.

    Regards,
    Tom Barr

    Hi

    I saw a plant that looked like Rotala macrandra "GREEN" in NA's tank containing plants for sale (at the left back corner). Anyone went there recently and know what I am talking about?
