... 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. snip 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 |

Anacharis Flowers?
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. -- Zk "Cichlidiot" wrote ...
