supasi Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Im pretty sure this is Lysimachia, but not sure which type as most have yellow flowers. Ideas anyone??? Alan???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 You have got me--- I don't grow lysomachia. Hygrophila flowers are a similar colour but different shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_W Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I have one of these with a purple flower...or is that pink... my plant list says Lysimachia nummularia but google says they are yellow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 the order lists call these plants bacopa. is it? cause i saw heaps in a while ago with purple flowers ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_W Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 thats it. bacopa monnieri I got other one too but its got no flowers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Yeah, Its definately a Bacopa. But I dont think its a true monnieri, as the leaves look different to most ive seen on google and the flower is smaller. Also the pic you posted Andrew, has a different flower stem.but similar flowers. The plant has more flowers now ,(that pic was taken a few days ago) and none are growing like that pic. Just same as my first pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Looks like Bacopa caroliniana aka giant Bacopa. There are two varieties in NZ. One is hairy and the other not. I don't grow either. I think the bald one is the easiest to convert to submersed (they are usually grown emersed--hence the flowers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo1 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Don't know the botanical name but it is definitely baby tears. Have a ton of it in the glass house and it is flowering all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 They are flowering because the have been grown emersed. Note the hairy stem. I dont think you would see that on B. monniera or Lysamachia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
