Ira Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Never had any of my plants flower. Of course, I haven't really had many plants before either. :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Don't know, just one that I went to the Hutt Pet Center and asked, "Give me one of those, one of those, one of those and one of those." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Same down here. Asked in the shop. "what are they?" Answer was "$3.50" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Wow...When did I post that? About 3 hours ago and I took the pic only a few minutes before? Just looked again and the distance to the surface has gone from about 20mm to about 5. So roughly 5mm growth per hour. Should be touching the surface in an hour or two.

Ira Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 One year update for no particular reason. I just tried to get a pic of one of the flowers, only camera I have at the moment is my cell phone though. It's a weird plant, I guess the stalks do double duty as flowers and runners.

Ira Posted August 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Time lapse with time stamps next time please Ira! Nice looking plant, BTW. Oh, btw, I tried...I taped my time lapse camera on the side of the tank between the glass and the wall. Left it there for about a month then went to check it. It was GONE. Finally found it behind the stand, had a look at the video, about 4 hours after I started it recording it fell off the tank onto the floor and broke.

alanmin4304 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Typical Echinodorus flower. The only thing that varies is the size and number of stamins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
