shrimpy_boy11 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Hey there. Well i have this plant, got it from a friends goldfish pond. Grows very fast, has little yellow flowers kinda like little small buttercup flowers. I have it in my pond and recently put it in my tank and seem to be growing fine. It also has runners which sprout little babies. Sorry about the sunlight my tubes broken. I can take more if this is a useless photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1CK Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Which plant are you talking about..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I'm guessing the one in the centre? Isn't the one to the right the same plant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Possibly an emersed form of some sort of Sagittaria. (be warned that it may be a banned plant) I have seen a similar looking pond plant for sale at garden centres , I tried to google it and cant find anything.

alanmin4304 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Was it growing in or out of the water? I think Sagittaria flowers are seperate male and female and have white petals rather than yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpy_boy11 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 It grows both. In my pond its potted and grows up and out of the water (with those same leaves). And then little yellow flowers(pretty much like little buttercups) grow up and out onto the waters surface. From the pot/base of the plant runners grow and a baby plant grows (under water/submerged) until...well...it grows larger and emerges. I think i may have to get a photo of it flowering for you guys. Hopefully the one in the pond will flower soon due to the nice weather lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I'm not sure what your plant is but here are the links to the 'dodgy' Sagittaria's: http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/pests/arrowhead http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/pests/arrow-head http://www.biosecurity.govt.nz/pests/sagittaria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 It is not a Sag as it has the wrong shaped leaf (arrowhead) and a yellow flower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrimpy_boy11 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 hmmm....it definatley doesnt look like an arrowhead. But the last link to the Sagittaria platyphylla. Im going to try get a photo of it flowering (soon hopefully) for you guys, to show that it does not have white flowers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrimpy_boy11 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Ah! Yes you could say, just smaller. Pretty much exactly like that, on a smaller scale. Nd four petals not three. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketman Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 four petals means its not monocot... so prob diff species or genus? just from what i been taught Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
