Plants arrived well ahead of the projected delivery. They are very healthy, lush and green. There were more plants and they were bigger than I expected. Packaged very well, wrapped in damp paper. Couldn't be more satisfied. I moved them into the pond immediately and planted them into the gravel the next day. My preference is to have them submerged rather than floating but the fish have dislodged some and a heavy rain moved several others...I'm going to try and anchor using 1.75" hydroponic planter cups but would welcome any other suggestions. The Hornwort looks great submerged. Hopefully, the pics show off the pine-tree like leaves.
