Stargrass is an aquatic plant. ;) Sorry... it's a stem plant. you can see it here http://community.webshots.com/photo/66733948/382462829inxSRV along the back in the middle of the tank. It's quite delicate but grows really fast ime. If you don't have high light, the lower leaves get shaded and fall off, hence, it's in the back of the tank where you don't see the lower parts.

Glad you all like it.
 
Flowering stargrass

Your stargrass looks wonderful and that is exactly why I buy my plants from you. It is a rare ocassion when you can get aquarium plants to blossom in the aquarium and it is a lovely sight to see as well. When they blossom we know they are happy and healthy and the plants are beautiful. I have stargrass I beleive and I have yet to see it blossom but they will in time.

Congratulations on getting it to blossom, they are great and now I am glad to have some. Got any more? I might wish to have more considering I am setting up more tanks. Your grass is great and I would say, that is exactly why I buy it from you..

Take care all,
