Hygrophila Sp(Twisted)


This is a Hygrophila Sp that I got from China, maybe someone can help identify this plant. When I first got this plant, the stem of this plant is twisted, seemingly following the twist of the leaves. The twist of the stem disappeared after being grown emersed, hopefully it will reappeared after being submersed, fingers crossed.

I finally got the photos that I wanted to post to show the stem of this plant, really weird to see the stem in this way.




China trip Nov 2011(CIPS)

Went to CIPS and did not find anything interesting at all, most things were for dogs and cats, nothing much for aquatics. I went to the market instead and walked around with a couple of friends and took some photos.










 Later in the evening, was invited to dinner and had a blast and ended the night with foot massage, brought a couple of friends along for their first time and I think that they enjoyed themselves, right Esther and Jared.
