Default Anacharis Flowers?

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

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.
