Anyone know of any plants that do well in 85 degree water?

My discus tank ranges from 84-87 and I've got an Amazon Sword, Rotala Indica, microswords, wisteria, water sprite, baby tears, and chil. val that's doing wonderful. The rotala and val's are taking over the tank and the sword's HUGE. The wisteria is also growing very fast. Microswords, water sprite, and baby tears are growing very well but not as fast as the rotala, val, and sword.

Pretty much all plants, A few Aponogetions will last longer at lower temps, about 70-74F.

I bred Discus at 82F which is fine for most anything as well.
A 10F drop in temp is common during rain storms also.

None of my plants have seemed to suffer at the temperatures I keep my discus(sometimes reaching 88F). I have asian ambulia, water wysteria, A. natans, glosso, an ozelot sword, and radican sword, anubias, and Wendtii crypts.

Thanks for the responses. I never have luck with swords, even though they are my favorites.:(
