Azolla Caroliniana

[Gittx]

Does anyone know where I can buy some Azolla Caroliniana? This is a wild plant here in Texas, but I have found out that since we had a drought in Texas, it/s nearly impossible to find. Out of state nurseries can't ship it because it's against the law to ship it to Texas or LA. I'm hoping someone within Texas will have a source. I want to raise it in a landscape pond, and feed it to the chickens. Any help finding a source would be appreciated! I live in East Texas, closest town, Edom.

Did you find a source? I, too, am in texas and would like to try azolla in a closed pond system.

I did, on e-bay. Here's the link http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...C0&_nkw=Azolla+Caroliniana&_sacat=0&_from=R40

Be sure that the seller is not a company, because they won't mail it. I got mine from an individual, and I got duck weed as well. I don't have an outside pond, so tried to keep it in a landscape pool. It really didn't work for me in that.
