Flowering aquatic plants

[FishBubs]

Hi all,

I dont have substrate for plants i just have pure sand with a bunch load of various epiphytes. The balance of plants is just right given the super water parameters i have achieved.

About two weeks ago i noticed a white bit in my tank and to my surprise i have a crypt that is blooming with three white flowers.



So my question is, does anyone know of other aquatic plants that flower?

That's not a Cryptocoryne but a Anubias Nana you have flowering. All aquatic plants have flowers, most only flower once the plant grows above the water surface.

Martins wrong, it’s a bucephlandra, but yes they, crypts and Anubias all flower in the same fashion.

No, it's Bucephlandra disguising itself as a Anubias Nana.

you are correct, it is indeed a bucephlandra, no idea why i even mentioned crypt cos i dont even have any in that tank i will have to keep an eye on the anubias too then.

Didn't help that your picture wouldn't open up on PC, it wasn't until I used my phone after @fr499y mentioned it I could enlarge the picture and could see my mistake.
