Vallisneria nana, the little white knight
January 9, 2010
So I’ve had a flower spike from one of my Vallisneria nana bunches for a few days, and its finally decided to start flowering. It sent up a little spike, and at the end there were two nodes, and at each node about 5 flower buds poked out. Each flower lasts for about a day before its stem curls back down into the water. Its got 3 white petals, and has a very faint sweet aroma. Not nearly as nice as some other flowers I’ve gotten out of my aquariums, but its a new one for me.

. . . . . . I love a challenge. Whether it is germinating seeds from exciting new plants (at least exciting and new for me), keeping and raising fish, poison dart frogs, and ornamental shrimp, or navigating new areas of the world without maps or guides, I am interested in it. I have lived in the Pacific Northwest my entire life, and have lived with my family in the Vancouver, Washington area since 2011.
