yup , DEA.. thats the one that i was referring to. will look nice in front of lotus rite? or u got a better suggestion to give the lotus good contrast in color and form?
Teo has lots of it in his yard. They are pretty tall though.
its the pennywort right?
teo has the tall ones and the short ones...
I agree that Hydrocotyle verticillata doesn't do that well submersed, but is there another varient that will?
Anyway, I have tonnes of the plant growing as potted house plant. If anyone needs a bit, leave me a email.

Opps, made a mistake earlier. H. verticillata is pennywort. Confused it with H. leucocephala.
The former does not do well fully submerged, IME. The latter does better.
Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:A woman, without her man, is nothing.
A woman: without her, man is nothing.
Unfortunately the H.leucocephala is gonna look wierd sitting in front of the lily... quite sure thats not what blades had in mind. As for using hottonia inflata, well that tends to do well in colder tanks... and can be quite a difficult plant to grow if you don't have a chiller.

h. verticiliata can be kept short by having strong light directly overhead
but it then tends to collect green spot algae
worth a try tho
