The sun really makes our aquarium plants flower so I’ve taken a selection of shots for you to have a look at. Can you guess which flowers are associated with which plants though?

Sagittaria sabulata in flower
Here’s another happy plant that flowered today. Very nice I think 🙂
You can find this stunning plant on our website by visiting this link http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/sagittaria-sabulata-p-5930.html
Bacopa myriophylloides in flower
So it would seem that Bacopa myriophylloides is enjoying the conditions now and has treated me to just 2 single flowers this morning. A crisp pinky/white, but none the less very attractive. The stems are only about 15cm high at the moment so it’s a small plant, but a happy one! We’ve got about 30 of these in stock at the moment, so I wonder when the others might flower – would be great if they all did!
Limnophilia aromatica in flower
Here we have another very happy stem plant, and more lilac coloured flowers too – I wonder if this is a common theme in aquatic plants – I have seen white and lilac – maybe a yellow will show soon?
Limnophilia aromatica is a very easy stem plant – nice strong stems which are reddy brown and then rather soft green leaves. Easy on the eye, easy on the pocket. You can’t really go wrong with this beauty.
Hygrophila angustfolia rubra flowering
More delightful flowers from Hygrophila angustfolia rubra. This sturdy stem plant seems very at home with us and has been kind enough to display some beautiful lilac coloured flowers. I think one of the most exciting things about aquatic plants is that on the whole, you just don’t know what colour the flowers will be! 
Beautiful flowering aquatic plants
You know how much we love our plants here, and nothing puts a smile on our face more when the plants begin to flower. Not only is it delightful to see but it tells us a lot about the plant – i.e. it’s very very happy.
So I wanted to share this news with you. Today’s flowering plant is Hydrocotyle leucecephala and this is one of the easiest aquatic plants to grow underwater. Below are a few shots of it flowering (quite a nice round flower) and also an image of what they look like in groups (and yes they get tangled easily).
I’ll keep you posted on any other plants that flower!
