Are these flowers? I thought they were leaves initially but they are not opening up like leaves...

Yup, looks like flower buds... they sometimes do sprout flowers underwater too (similar to anubias plants).

That's interesting. Never thought I might see flowering underwater.

Yes some Bucep types flower frequently. But their flower is not that spectacular simply open of the white bud. The flower also do not last long, usually drop within a week from past experience.

Would the flowers open if the plant is planted emersed instead?

Yes, the flowers will open in emersed conditions... thats one of the best ways to ID those plants.

Cool. Maybe I could try moving one of the flowers to emersed and see

Looks like the flower is going to open up? Does this mean this might not be bucep? Or it can still open up even though submersed?
