We have Limnophila AROMATICOIDES, not aromatica...

Just thought I'd share this thread which I found very interesting;

http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/plant-id/27486-limnophila-aromatica-discussion-2.html

Read the 9th post. Apparently there are three types of Limnophila aromatica-type plants - aromatica, hippuridoides and aromaticoides. L. hippuridoides always has red foliage, L. aromatica green to red (depending on conditions I assume), while aromaticoides always has green foliage. I googled L. aromaticoides (and it came up with a lot if pics of aromatica also :-? ) and it looks exactly like the stuff we have here - green, and with shorter, broader leaves than aromatica. So that's probably why people have been having a hard time getting it to turn red - because it's physically impossible for this particular species. Still quite a nice plant though, but it would be nicer if we had the proper aromatica :)
