Hi Waldo, I saw one of these for the first time just yesterday. So I not only appreciate your images for their beauty, but also for identifying something I hadn't seen before. Thanks for sharing.

Great set. Last, the best.

Waldo,

Nice set.

All the descriptions say Carolina, what that means?

Thanks for the comments. Carolina refers to the company where I purchased these samples - http://www.carolina.com. This was the only way I could get my hands on these living cells. They do not seem to occur in Canada - at least, I have never seen one taken from samples in BC and Alberta. Right now I am culturing four species. Will see how that goes.

Waldo,
From what I have found Pediastrum aren't really that ubiquitous. I might find one in 50 water drops and those may not be a clear shot but marred by the usual pond bottom clutter, so be patient.

Verywell.
