    Hmm... bro, by your question, are you referring to those land plants or aquatic plants (for growing in the tanks)?

    in general aquatic plants will only flower when the flower can be raised above the water surface. and all aquatic plants other than mosses and ferns will flower.
    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.

    If you can provide direct sunlight for most part of the day, Utricularia gibba and Utricularia aurea have very nice yellow flowers.

    OIC... trying to remove any bit of ambiguity possibilities here if anyone were to read this thread...

    As mentioned by hwchoy & to my own opinion, most aquatic plants rarely flowers, unless you intend to let it outgrow the water surface in your tank... (maybe like water lilies or lotuses, but doubt that's quite space consuming in a 1-feet tank though...) However, think I'd read a thread in here before that some bro growing Crypts managed to get it to flower when they grew it emmersed in their tank, you may wish to try that also??

    Cheers!!

    I think Anubias and some Eriocaulons do flower underwater but the flowers are nothing to shout about.
