    Hello folks,
    can anyone (Phillip? )tell me what the plant on the very last pic on the far left is?

    http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...ad.php?t=13074

    It looks like long grass or reeds with white flowers on top with yellow centers.

    I could have sworn once I came across a thread where the construction of 'Mystic Falls' was shown step by step- but of course now I can't
    find it!

    Thanks
    Damian.

    Hey Damian,

    I'm pretty certain the plant is Dichromena colorata. First seen a pic of it in the book "The Modern Japanese Garden" by Shunmyo Masuno, 2002. Its called white-top sedge in the book. The text says it was imported from Florida. I did a google search and found a picture from this website:

    link

    Websites call it stargrass (isn't that Didiplis diandra ) , originating from Florida. Well, that's my opinion, only Phillip can be sure if there was a plant label that came with it. Would sure like to know where he got it from. I want one too

    Dichromena colorata

    Hey Min and Jerome,
    thanks for your replies!
    I found it listed under Dichromena cordata (I think) on an
    Aussie pond supplie site except it is 'rarely available'

    I'm considering some pickeral rush as well.
