Echinodorus

[mattrox]

I was at the nursery section of the hardwarestore and spotted two Echinodorus that were growing emersed. They looked spectacular and picked them out to check the price. I was expecting it to be very expensive as if the were from the LFS at that size they would have been $25+. To my suprise they were $10.59.

They were labelled "Echinodorus Amazon Sword 'Rubra' ". The only reference to rubra was E. osiris. I can't find a picture of E. osiris with emersed leaves but I guess i can call it E. osiris for now.

I have attached the pics. They are also in the gallery as soon as they are approved.

The photos didn't post. I'll try them again, if they don't work they are in the gallery also.
