I can't believe anybody can actually get this to grow in
an aquarium. We have a river that runs though out back yard
and Lobelia cardinalis grows all along the river bank and
in the lawn near there.

There's so much of it I run it over with the lawn tractor when I
cut the lawn; the entire banks of the river blaze red around August
when it flowers, but, I never see it growing in the river. Other plants
I've seen in the water he val or sag, what might be some type of
Ludwigia, riccia (!) (fluitans and triscula), hornwort and a couple
of species of Potamogeton.

I havn't seen it grow in the water, or even as a bog plant on
the banks in the water like Alisma. I've only seen it grow
out of the water, up on top of the riverbanks.
