Someone threw this in as extras in one of the packs of plants I bought a few months ago. I really didn't expect it to do much, but since I've got 3 stems over 18" long now I'd like to know what it is.

You can see the growth from 8/19 to today (10/5) in the first two pics in my journal
Just right of center in the back. 8/19 they are barely visible behind the wood, now they are all the way to the top of the tank.

Hygrophila polysperma "Rosanervig", AKA Sunset Hygro. It's a nice plant, but it's one the US Noxious Weed list, so be careful what you do with the trimmings.

Thanks Lego

I think I took a better picture than them, maybe they should try some non-purple lights, lol

Good thing I don't remember who sent it, I can't be tortured into giving up their ID that way.

Haha, well not many people realize that it's a federally banned weed. Here's a link for a bit more info, if you're interested. http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/swap-n-shop/52433-plants-aware-least-usa.html

Is it against the rules to ship it within state lines??
I like the look of that a lot. I'm north of Dallas

Basically its against the law to ship it across the street. But many people do it anyway.
