Hello all

Hi, brand new to the site. I have been looking for a similar site for a while. I used to own a small tropical fish/reptile store and I have over 30 years experience with aquariums and terrariums. I have been out of the hobby for a while and recently decided I wanted to focus on plants. I am lucky enough to be located near Brian's Botanicals and got to see some really awesome stuff there yesterday that really got me thinking. I look forward to seeing what everyone else is doing and hopefully trading some plants at some point.

 

My shop was in Jeffersonville Indiana. I had to close a couple of years ago because of some problems my business partner had. We had a good run considering we ended up running on a shoestring budget. I am mostly interested in terrarium plants now, but I was a big fan of Takashi Amano and had all of his books before most people in my area had heard of him. I was a participant on the Aquatic Plant Mailing list when the internet was still text so I know a decent amount about aquatic plants. Fish and aquariums are my strengths I would say. I am trying to chose a group of plants to focus on but still at the stage of falling in love with every new discovery. I saw some awesome stuff at Brian's yesterday and I am looking forward to trying my first wabi-kusa soon. Still not sure what plants I want to use for it.
