    No prizes, just for the fun of it.

    Should be easy for some. Guess what plant this flower is from.

    that's right! I just took the pic this morning when i realized there was a nice flower. Budak gave a good clue too. Alismataceae family. This must be too easy for you guys.

    Now to narrow down to which echinodorus this is...

    My next challenge will be to ID the plant from the pollen grain of the emersed flower, but I'll need to borrow a microscope with camera for that.

    most of the Echinodorus species have similar looking flowers. whether the pollen grains are much different I do not know.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.
