Out of stock, unfortunately
I have been hunting the true wine-red variety of this plant for a long time. It was a stock aquarium plant when I was a kid, some 45 years ago, it was growing well under incandescent bight and we were propagating it by rhizome cuttings and sharing with each other. Unfortunately, it has become a rarity nowadays. I was glad I found it at GlassAqua and it was in my cart for a few days, but unfortunately has become Out of stock at the time I made the purchase. Not sure why they request a review for an item I was never able to purchase. Probably a glitch in the web store software backend.

So happy with my Barclaya Longifolia - bulbs
This was my first order with Glass Aqua. So far something like 2 weeks now and both bulbs are still tiny but slowly developing leaves and growth. Since this is relatively a rare aquatic plant I am very happy with what I have. The price was reasonable and quick delivery, properly packaged too! Will buy again for sure - Thank you
