Current observations

Nothing recorded specific to this plant in this aquarium yet. The scape is still growing in; observations are added when there is something specific to report rather than to fill the section.

Photographs

Photograph pending. Planned: a current photograph at matched camera settings, repeated at intervals so color can be compared across time rather than described.
