Yes, I do believe it is. Notice he doesn't have that plant anymore

There are two different ones actually. One gets a pretty purple flower like Sean's there and the other gets a white flower.

Yeah. I think I had the one with the white flower previously. (Lasted about a month in my tank before I yanked it)

"Oh Sean, your flower is gorgeous. What kind is it?"

Well my puppy flaunting friend...

My avatar is a Madagascar lace plant flower, which was also in flower at the meeting in February. When I had the WalMart Aponogetons they sent up a single spike flower that was white. My lace plants send up double or on occasion a triple spike flower.

Kris wasn't the sag. subulata flowering when I gave it to you?

I've got a large unidentified sag that was also in flower for the meeting. I've had two crypts flower in my 75 since I set that up, the cordata blassii right after the AGA and last week while I was gone the pygmaea flowered. The small Blyxa that G gave me will flower if you float it, as I learned, Bacopa australis also flowers when you float it.

Madagascar lace plant! Hmm. It's been awhile, but I'm pretty sure that my Aponogeton sent up double spiked flowers.

The sag. subulata was flowering when you gave it to me, but those little (or big in my case) plants where monster flower producers. Last summer/fall they were sending up new flower shutes every other day.

Interesting on the Blyxa. I had no idea that it would flower. I have some extra Blyxa some Ghazanfar. I'm going to try floating it!

I'm thinking about putting some tiger lotus outside this summer to get some of those magnificient flowers. (Not whiling to allow the plant to completely take over my tank water surface!)

Sean,

My ulvaceous flower looked exactly like the lace plant flower only white. All of the flowers it shot up were doubles like that too. I once had 3 sets of flowers at once with that plant. I just don't think you could ever fit that crazy plant into a scape.

The blyxa also flowers when growing submersed if you give it enough light.
Mines constantly got flower spikes.
