Here is the Glasso (Has just a tiny amount of green in it. Not sure it's gonna make it)
Lobelia cardinalis 'Small Form':
Topped the Rotala yesterday:
The Bacopa caroliniana is starting to grow. As you...
Thanks for the info. I think I'm set on plants. Found someone selling a nice amount from another forum. Quite expensive, but I need plants. I have joined a couple FB groups as well.
