'Mystic Falls' plant identification?

[daemondamian]

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

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:

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

Regards

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.
