After Bryan did the hard work and then spoke so highly of them I had a mooch of their web site and then ordered a selection of plants to go in the filter they arrived today and like Bryan said they were all in great condition and packaged separately in plastic bags some bags containing two or 3 plants although only 1 of each were ordered
They were as follows

Thank you for ordering from Merebrook Pond

Item 1: Acorus Calamus *

Item 2: Iris Pseudacorus *

Item 3: Caltha Palustris Flore Pleno *

Item 4: Sisyrinchium Californicum *

Item 5: Iris Versicolor *

Item 6: Typha Minima *

Item 7: Baldellia Ranunculoides *

Item 8: Scirpus cernuus *

Item 9: Pontederia Cordata *

Item 10: Butomus Umbellatus *

All are now planted and sitting In water till I get the filter finished off and ready for the plants

They just need a layer of pea gravel on top of the soil and they are good to go

Hi Darren,

I have only just realised that you bought your plants from Merebrook and I bought mine from Wetland Plants.

Merebrook was the first company I research and I very nearly ordered from them - but then chose to use Wetland instead because they had one or two extra plants I was interested in. On the face of it I thought the companies are pretty similar and it sounds as if you got a great deal just like I did.

Cheers,
Bryan

Yeah service was great and delivered as stated if they all come away and I get a good result from them I will be getting more for the anoxic filter
How are your plants doing Bryan as yours have been planted a bit longer than mine

Yeah a few of mine have new shoots too but like you say time and a bit more heat in the water will tell they should all be in the filter by Sunday as nearly all done now
