that foreground plant we found in florida

[jazzlvr123]

hey tom I was wondering how that foreground plant I gave you that we found in Florida is doing? any growth? is it still even alive? if so status update or pics would be great. Ive been curious on how that's doing.

I grow it outside in a small tray, it's fine, but does grow dense like the other species in the genus.

Have not given it much chance truth be told, but I do still have some and gave some to a few folks here.

Regards,
Tom Barr

What genus did you determine it to be?

 

[Tom Barr]

Appears to be Lililopsis carolina

Cool. The first pics looked like Sagittaria seedlings to me. I thought one summer I had found an unusual foreground-type plant growing in an ornamental pond at Cheekwood Gardens in Nashville. I observed them over the summer, and unfortunately they turned out to be seedlings of Sagittaria montevidendis, which was growing all around the margin.
