Yeah, the flowers are amazing.

It has lots of buds, so I will take a better photo with the auto focus lens, it is more forgiving than the full manual 105mm I took the photo with.

It is one you sent me, named either rotala or ludwigia but it looks like nothing I have seen before, at least emersed. It looks like a rotala but the flowers are like ludwigia's flowers.

It is a lovely plant for emersed play, and the flowers are deep purple.

The star moss is great, but it is a hard plant, with a stem, not sure it is a moss. :)
