Re: [AGA Member] Pellia

I thought I'd lost my original starter that I got from Claus last Spring in
my big tank, but it is now quite obvious, and growing steadily.  It may be
like duckweed, where you don't even notice that first little leaf... it's
got to get going, then it's hard to get rid of.<g>

I also thought I killed the culture he gave me in Nov., (as I mentioned at
NEC) by leaving it on the windowsill as the weather got warmer.  But that
culture is rising, like a Phoenix from the ashes again.  It may not grow
fast, but it seems to be one tough plant.
