That is a beautiful flower!
I guess since it is an aquatic plant it belongs in this forum
flower of the emersed Gratiola, about 8mm wide…
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.

Don't be afraid of my duck!
I thought the plant is now "Limnophila hippuroides"?
is it? actually I have no idea what the name is other than "Gratiola" which probably isn't even the scientific name.

There's a Gratiola officinalis, but that produces white flowers.
Limnophila hippuroides? That's odd.. I think this is another species with a different leaf shape??
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
that's strange, this is the same plant we call gratiola when grown under water it has that fragrant when the stem is brokened.Originally Posted by stormhawk

Gimme plants with stripes and bullated leaves anytime..
Choy, its confusing for me but then again, its just a plant and that's a nice flower. Like they say, a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.

Wow, great pic's!
There is some confusion about the plant called "gratiola sp." in the aquatic world.
The thing that makes it even more confusing is that the plant now commenly known as Limnophila aromatica used to be named L. gratiola a couple of years ago.
As far as the plant itself there a the following species named of which we still do not know for sure if they are the same plant or really different species:
Limnophila hippuroides
Limnophila aromatica
Limnophila aromaticoides (the name suggests that there really is a difference form L.aromatica)
Gratiola sp.
Since you are such a good photographer I hope you can provide us with an underwater shot of this plant also!
dun have this plant growing submersed, sorry.
