So, since starting this planted tank journey, whenever I'm out walking I find myself staring down at plants, weeds, moss I see growing in the wild, sidewalks etc and wondering if they would survive in an aquarium.

Living in the Pacific Northwest, we're "wet" 90% of the time anyway so I often wonder if any of these would survive.

I'm just curious if anybody every plucks them up and tries them in the aquarium? I think I'll try a few and see what happens but do you think I'm wasting my time?

Many of the plants I ponder are in very wet locations, streamside, etc.

Any thoughts?
