The March 2016 GWAPA meeting was held at Viktor Gyorffy\u2019s house in Gaithersburg, MD. About eighteen members attended the meeting.<\/p>\n

In addition to the usual auction of plants and fishes, at this meeting GWAPA had a large selection of rocks (dragon stone and pagoda stone) and wood (Talawa and Red Spider Wood) for sale. Here is a photo of one box of wood:<\/p>\n

Finally Cavan Allen gave a talk on Gratiola and related plants. Among those he discussed were Gratiola<\/em> viscidula <\/em>(which is native to Virginia and Maryland), Gratiola Aurea<\/em> (not recommended for planted tanks), Gratiola Brevifolia<\/em> (which for some reason is not available in the hobby), Gratiola officinalis<\/em> (which is often used in ponds).<\/p>\n
