Goldie Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Having purchased some valliseria plants a month ago and planted them in the discus tank and given them some plant food I promptly forgot about them. Then today I noticed I had FLOWERS. Beautiful small white ones floating on the surface of the water. WOW so pretty I am amazed and the plants have all taken and are growing well.

Caryl Posted October 17, 2002 Report Share Posted October 17, 2002 Take a photo for Cees Goldie or he will be cross with you! I have never seen Vallisneria flowering so would like to see it too. If you haven't a digital camera, send the photo to me and I will scan it. BTW: I got my colour laser printer today!! YIPEEEEE!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's small white flowers that are easily bruised, I'd bet it was Saggitaria rather than Vallisneria. Shops often get the two confused. There are several species of each. Andrew.

Goldie Posted October 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 oh my I only have an ordinary camera with flash so will have to ask hubby to take a photo. The flowers are attached to a long green (thin round) stem. They are only blooming one at a time one opening as the other dies off. so far I have had the pleasure of watching three and there are still many buds to bloom. I will do my best to get a photo.

I am sure you can finish off the film in Napier! :lol: We could get it developed then scan it here before you go home again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldie Posted October 19, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 Well the photos have been taken of the newest bloom. It is a small white flower, three petals, six yellow stigmas (I think that is what they are called) and the stamen is also yellow. The flower seems to last one - two days.
