  • Collecting local plants

    Any good spots around Houston to collect aquatic plants?

    dark, hard, dark rubber wheels.
    Roll, skreek! Roll, skreek! Roll, skreek!

    I would like to know too.
    Only fully aquatic plants I've seen are the tons and tons
    of Hornwort there in Herman Park.

      NASH just recently went on a collection trip. Hmm, well, I guess it was in November. Oh well. Here's one of the threads about it:

      HoustonFishBox is an online community dedicated to bringing together people and their fish in Houston, Southeast Texas, and beyond.


      The only places I've been around Houston for plants are just numerous locations on Buffalo Bayou. Have collected some near downtown, and also near Highway 6. Oh, and various roadside ditches, too. But I haven't found one terrific place yet. San Marcos, now that's a different story!  :)

        Hornwort would be good. Is taking some from the park allowed?

          I'm sure.
          I did when I built my pond, along w/ many other pond plants
          growing in that pond.

            Went up there to Aquarena springs on a collection trip with HAS last summer. Wow!

            What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.
