Plants from the Picnic

Post by Ltrepeter2000 »

Cavan

Can you list the primary plants that we saw today at the lake so everyone can reference them since many of us did not have pen and paper?

Thanks
Rob

Ludiwigia palustrus
Rotala ramosior
Lindernia dubia
Penthorum sedoides
Eleocharis sp.
Persecaria sp. (Cavan can fill in the names here)
Lobelia cardinalis

This will help some of us remember what we were looking at - and help us to identify the snippets we brought home.

Thanks Rob for the suggestion - and to Kris and (ultimaely Cavan) for filling out the list.

These two are really growing nicely in my tank

Penthorum sedoides
Ludiwigia palustrus

The Rotala Ramosior though has put on new growth but the original stem seems to be fading fast. I had figured it would but its faster than I expected I guess.

Rotala ramosior is not an easy plant so that's no surprise.
