Anacharis Flowers?

[Benign Vanilla]

Do I my eyes decieve me or does my anacharis have little white flowers on
it?

Yes, it can get tiny white flowers. Mine did, until the
fish ate it!

This is the first year I have seen it. It's also the first year, I've had so
much. I can't even see the bottom of the pond because of this stuff. Next
week, I am taking some out, potting some and just plain cleaning it up. The
BV planting method, it appears, is great for starting plants, not perfect
for management, once they take off. You should see the PF growing across the
ground out my VF. It's ri-di-ki-lus.

Yep, they can get flowers. And the differences between the Elodea and
Egeria species are in the structure of the flowers, although I can't
remember the exact differences now. I just remember thinking it was a
rather minor reason for having a different species. I remember thinking it
would be like seperating Aponogeton undulatus into a different genus
because it primarily reproduces viviparously instead of by seed or
seperating Aponogeton species by the number of flower stalks. But I know
that taxonomists are fickle sometimes and I wouldn't be suprised if they
did do this at some point in the future, heh.

Yep, it has little three-petaled flowers. And I discovered when I brought
some inside for my snail bowl, that they're intensely fragrant as well.

Hi,
Minor distinctions in flower structure is the basis for naming species. If
there is only one Aponogeton undulatus and there are minor differences in
the flowers, the reason for one species is only because someone has not
written a paper on it and proved the difference. The next one could be A.
cichlidiotii, has a nice ring to it ;-)
L8R -_- how
no NEWS is good

The Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants (Univ of Florida),
http://aquat1.ifas.ufl.edu/ has excellent photographs and line drawings of
lots of native and invasive water plants, wildlife, birds, etc. The line
drawing comparison of hydrilla, elodea, egeria is good for determining which
plant is growing in your pond.
