I thought I had a seed sprout in my java moss, hadn't had that since the last bird. But it was the size of a poppy seed attached to a <1/4 inch pink lily leaf. I didn't know they did that. My lily is not all that happy, low light, biggish bulb, small leaves with few roots.

Now if only I can keep track of it until it's big enough to plant. Anyone else see this happen? It's my first lily.
 
I've had my dwarf lillies do something like that. A couple of weeks ago, when I shut down one of my tropical tanks, I found 2-3 baby plants with very tiny bulbs close to the parent bulbs. I would have to assume that they were attached to the parent bulb by runners. One of them that I transplanted has already started to grow larger leaves and sending up it's first floater.
