I sure need some help with identifying a couple of my plants - please? I’m pretty sure that this first one is either Ludwigia Ovalis or Ludwigia Broad Leaf Repens (has a lot of the reddish color showing in the other pics, but this is a better close up of the leaf shape)

And this one I knew when I first got it, but it’s been too long and my memory is too short. It's kinda tan/pink in color:

Same story for this magnificent plant that I first thought was Nesaea Red, but now I’m not sure because of it’s size - currently 24" tall: http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z245/gametrailgirl/Aquarium%20plants/Redplant6.jpg

There are more pics of all the plants here: http://s194.photobucket.com/albums/z245/gametrailgirl/Aquarium%20plants/ and that might make ID’s easier. Thanks in advance!!

The first one looks just like my L. repens but with a little more twist to the leaves. The other two look like Alternanthera sp. to me.

The photobucket album might help by giving some other angles and closeups on the two questionable ones, but I think that the bottom pic here (the red one) could be Alth. reineckii - but don't know what kind the middle (tan/pink) one might be...

I believe that you're right on the Repens - others seem to agree as well. That one is a splendid plant, not as showy as the red one at the bottom, but very bushy and lovely with that color showing!
