    Southern Illinois Area????

    You need to check out the store in O'Fallan. It is great, I got my Anemonie there and it is very very healthy and growing like crazy I am really looking for a rose anemonie, but no one has one. Thinking about ordering online. Good luck with your tank and let us know how you do.
