Default Flowering Glosso

Like many others, I've been experimenting with growing some plants emersed. Among some other plants, I was trying to grow glossostigma. It was really taking off for several weeks, but after returning from a 4 day weekend almost all of it had died. Well, I've been slowly nursing it back to health for over a month. It doesn't look great, but it's finally looking healthy again. Well this morning I noticed around 6 tiny flowers! My camera doesn't have a macro setting, so this was as good as I could get. The flower is probably 2-3 mm across, the bud is a large head of a pin.

Yeah I have some moss/shrimp addiction problems. At least I'm not in the red because of them, yet.

If you think my photography skills are bad, you should see what the pic would look like if I DID photoshop it
