aquariumgarden.com
I just received the 36 Discus Plant Assortment (36 Discus Assortment) from the aquariumgarden.com. Could you take a look at the pictures of the plants I received and give me some feedback. I just wonder if I got a great/typical/or not so good deal @ $87.97 plus shipping. Thanks in advance for your thoughts! David

Once you get there just scroll down for pictures of all the plants.
Also, can anyone recommend appropriate ground cover for a Discus tank?
Thanks!

Good question, but I've not counted them.
You can see pictures of each bunch to get an idea here:

You put the anubia rhizome in the substrate they do best tied to a rock or driftwood. It looks like a good assortment of plants, as for value I can't tell you since I get most of my plants from the forums most are very generous and only a few from LFS.

Oooh, thanks for the advice. I was just reading-up on these plants and I noticed: "Anubias plants should have their rhizomes tied down to a rock or piece of driftwood until they take hold". I think I have three varieties: Anubias Nana, Anubias Barteri, and Anubias Frazeri. Would you say all three should be place above the substrate? thanks again! I'm reading that all three varieties should have the rhizome above the substrate. ok!

Yes they should all be all out of the substrate.
