I have three plants I'd like to get identified. If you can help, thanks!
I bought this first one, so I have no idea where it lives naturally. They said it will get tall and stringy in low light, and remain bushy and cute like mine if there's high light. I wrote down the name in a hurry and now I can't read what I wrote. Hahaha! Is it Blyxa japonica?
Then there's this one, which I dug out of an estuary on the Pacific coast in southern Washington. I could tell it was a freshwater plant, and as I guessed, it's doing much better in my tank than it did in the salty mudflat where it was growing. It's like grass, but the stalks are much denser and less flexible, they curl a bit, and they grow out of each other toward the bottom, almost like the leaves on chives. They're also pale toward the roots like chives. (I should just taste it and see if I grabbed some kind of water onion hehe)
And this one is from the same estuary. It's a carpet plant that reproduces with runners, and when I saw some growing where a spring flowed down a rock wall, I realized it was a healthier version of the limp, flat ones growing in the sand. It has tiny, rounded leaves that sprout from the stalks in pairs, except at the very top, where there might be four or more leaves. I'm guessing it might be "baby tears" (Micranthemum umbrosum), but I'm really no expert. Thoughts?
