Hello -- It's been a while since I last posted anything. Is there anyone in this group that grows the green form of Cryptocoryne affinis? I think this is the plant I remember from my childhood through my early 20s that my mom, then I, grew in all of our aquariums. This would have been the late 1950s through the late 1970s. It had lanceolate leaves that were dark green on top with undersides that were dark pink to wine colored. It propagated quickly by means of stolons. Three plants could carpet a 20 gallon tank within 4 - 6 months. I'd love to find it again. Thanks
