    I find that anubias tend to flower quite often in my tanks, usually its after i shift them across to new tanks... maybe the short period out of water and the change in environment signals the plants to flower in preparation for dry season/fluctuating water levels (like in nature as they grow along river banks).

    Most Eriocaulons do... but if the flower opens underwater, you might not always get baby plants.

    yeah, my objective is to see the flower opening in the water, not a concern on the baby portions.

    you have them too? for sale? I wanna redo my scape with flowering plants

    I don't keep them at the moment, but they're not uncommon plants. You can look for Eriocaulon Cinereum either online or in shops
