Hi guys just a question is their any plants that I can include in my aquarium that will flower and add to the look of it?
Thanks
 
Most of the plants kept in aquariums are flowering plants. They usually only flower above water. Some plants like swords, lilys will send up flower stalks, that flower on the surface or above it. Most of the stems we grow actually grow emerged in the wild and will commonly flower.The only plant I have seen flower under water are anubies. I am sure there are others but that is the type I have seen or seen pictures of.
 
I have lillies their growing fast and I have heaps of floating leaves but no flowers do I need to do something to make it flower? And so I should let my plants grow above water?
 
It takes a special setup to have plants grow emerged and in most cases the leaves below the water light get spotty at best. As for the lilies I do not know, I have never grown any.
 
The lillies grow a leaf a day and all of them are flowing tho I get no leaves-?
