Fw: Giant horsetail

At last someone interested in horsetails! But the real test of a plantsperson remains: do you like liverworts? 8-)
 
The only horsetail I am deliberately growing is Equisetum hyemale. It lacks the marabou ruffs of E. telmateia and its kin and is a mere 1-2 metres tall. It makes elegant vertical bundles (eventually forests) of perennial, blue-green, bamboolike rods. It appears to require flowing or frequently changed fresh water.
 
If you would like some spores, I can send them to you next time they're ready.

I wonder if anyone has ever grown Equisetum telmatiea ( Giant Horsetail) from spores, and how you go about doing it ? If anybody knows a source for spores I would appreciate this very much as well.
