swweet... i love that plant; just got some myself. but i don't think mine would ever be emerged though. :(
Now we need to see the rest of the tank(the submerged part). It's almost like seeing someone from the neck up, that you know has no clothes on, and not being able to see the rest. C'mon, show us your bottom.

nice tank! the proportions of the tank in relationship to the sizing of the plants look to be a 10g. with your fish load, i hope it's not! :P

New pic, it has fallen over a few times. but it keeps growing taller, the steam out of the watter is thick the part at the bottom by the gravel is thin and rotten so it does not hold the plant up very well.
Why is that?
