Can anyone identify the plants in the background in this picture for me (
aprox 150K per pic) ?

Also the tall plants on the far right of this picture:

The store I got them from says they are both types of Hygro...the tall ones
on the right in the second picture they say are "Narrow Leaf Hygro" , but
I've never seen any hygro like these. They are supposed to have come just
from Japan..the store just received them on Monday.

TIA,
Bob

Actually the two on the right in pic id2 were called "Madagascar Fine Leaf
Hygro" and the wider leaved ones were described as "Giant Hygro" by the
shop owner. The pictures I've found of the Giant Hygro don't really look
like these and I've not found any references to " Madagascar Fine Leaf Hygro
" anywhere. Hopefully someone knows what these 2 plants are.

Hi,

The first picture---Calamus sp. "Bamboo Plant" from South East Asia. It is
a tererrium plant and will not live very long submersed.

Second--I cannot Id this plant, but by the looks of it, I would say it is
also a tererrium plant.

Bob, if CS is right, go back in a month and see if they are still alive...
if not, then you'll know....

I kind of thought this would be the case as I've never seen any aquatic
plants like these.
Thanks,
Bob
