Where can I buy these plants?

I have an old aquarium that I'd like to turn into a terrarium. I have some fern gametophytes that I'm going to put into the terrarium when I've set it up, but I'd like some more plants but I can't find them.

Where can I buy these plants?

Liverworts

Hornworts

Moss

Lycopodium

Selaginella

I'm not picky about what species of these plants I use, I just want a wide range of non-vascular and lower vascular plants, so any species of the above plants would be great.

Do you know where I can find them?

Update:

Thank you very much. Do you know of any catalogues or online sites where I could get them.

Oh and I live in a desert so a walk in the woods wouldn't

    For the hornwort, check local pet stores and aquarium shops - it's a common aquarium plant. For ordering - Carolina Biological Supply is definitely pricey but also very reliable. Here is their URL for plants:

    Here is another website:

    If your local nursery does not have them, they may be able to order

    them for you or supply stockists. Otherwise you may find them online.

    Another possibility is your local gardening society.

    You do not say where you are, but a walk in the woods could prove

    fruitful.

    Hope this helps and you are successful, your terranium idea sounds

    interesting.
