Took a shot of Rotala spec. "green" (emersed) yesterday evening:

Pretty plant, give it a try if you haven't already!

Somewhat related - I'm hitting Thailand for a couple weeks vacation,
leaving this weekend. So I have to ask: do any of you have lfs
recommendations in/around Bangkok? I'll be there initially before
going south for the beaches.

Cheers,
