I like the Erio compressum. How big does it get?

This is about as large as I’ve had them grow so far. It seems like they start to shift their energy from gaining mass to growing new pups once they reach a certain size. Kinda like Erio Vietnam.
OK. Larger than I expected, but I still like it.

Orthochilus ecristatus, Giant orchid:
Erigeron vernus:
Marshallia graminifolia:

Utricularia cornuta:
Ludwigia pilosa:
Basic, but Bacopa caroliniana has strikingly beautiful flowers.

I’ve been searching for this plant for almost two years. They only emerge late summer/early fall.
I wonder if that makes them unsuitable for aquariums? If they bloom and then die back in your tank too, they aren't so useful.
I'd just like a medium size Erio that is green. Similar in size to quing. I am not the most knowledgeable about them, but the ones I have seen get big or are small. E vietnam looks like it gets pretty big. Someone has an E cuspidatum for sale on Etsy, but they want $65!

These are very aquarium suitable from what I understand. I have some in the tank and some in my office bog and they seem to be doing great. Will try and collect seeds from these and cultivate them specifically for aquarium use. They’re wonderful and tiny.

Ahhh... they looked bigger in the other pic. Still, they look cool. Good luck!

Erigeron vernus.
Burmannia capitata:
Drosera capillaris:
Lindernia dubia:

And the pet project I’ve been working on for some time now, Boltonia diffusa:
After a few months of swim classes…..

Found some white whales this week.
Ludwigia sphaerocarpa x suffruticosa naturally occurring hybrid.
Ludwigia sphaerocarpa x pilosa naturally occurring hybrid.
Ludwigia sphaerocarpa x suffruticosa naturally occurring hybrid.
Ludwigia sphaerocarpa x pilosa naturally occurring hybrid.
How do you know they are hybrids? Is there a botanical key for the flowers?
I think it's cool that you know and found this.

Yup. NC herbarium has a key for Ludwigia sect. Microcarpium typical and hybrids.

Wanted alive! Ludwigia ravenii

That is cool. NC State also. Just 10 min from my house. A friend used to be over the Duke herbarium, 25 minutes from me, where the pressed samples are. I think that was it. Many years ago, when I took botany and learned how to key a few things, a skill long since forgotten, we just had pieces of paper and no pics. Things are much better now. Thanks for your efforts on this "journal" of a different kind.

Love it. Don't know why I'm liking these. They are boring, but I do. (Erios)
