    Hi All,

    Really need help in this plant I.D. All I know is that it is definitely a Echinodorus.



    Thanks, yet again.

    Cheers

    Could it be a Echinodorus 'Ozelot'?

    Thanks

    Not really. Still experimenting.

    Saw that farEast coming in the Echinodorus ''Tricolor'', should be a nice plant. Doubt I'll get to see it.

    Yup, it looks like a ozelot. Another thing, bro crypt and echin their size varies alot man. The biggest crypt, I think is C. bassil about 1 foot or slightly more. I have a Echin. Major at home about 2 1/2 feet tall... if you mix them up....... I think you will curse when you need to uproot the Echin later.

    Err...oops, let me rephrase. I was refering to those with 'fat leaves' not the skinny ones like balansae, usteriana or crispatula. Thanks for the heads up, Thomas.
