Does anyone ship floating plants in winter?

[jwcarlson]

I'm looking for some water lettuce, red root, and maybe something else if I can find some cool stuff.  

Finding some available, but most of them won't ship when it's cold.  I'm in Iowa, so... it's cold.  I've gotten plants from Aquarium Co-Op in the bitter cold without issue, but... much to my chagrin, they don't sell floating plants.  😞

 

Thanks!

You could try AquaBid, there are usually some on there.

Etsy and Ebay are also places to look.

Etsy dawned on me yesterday after this post, didn't look too extensively, but almost all say they won't ship in cold.  At least one had a vold weather add on for $3.  But I can't imagine $3 paying for a heat pack? 

 

I'll do some more digging, thanks for the leads!

@BATAll that way over on the very eastern tip in Clinton.

Born and raised.  I did live in Cedar Rapids for about five years right out of college.
