Anubias Nana Has A Flower!

[Viriam Karo]

I'd heard that anubias nana can flower but I hadn't actually seen it in mine since I got them. Can't remember exactly how long I've had these plants (descended from a single purchase---there's a lot more of them than there used to be!) but I think it is something like six years.

Here's a bud, just a couple of days before opening:

I've had a couple of others too but they bloomed while I was out of the country silly plant.

They are lovely when they flower and my shrimp love to feed off them when they do

Ooh, I'll have to keep an eye on them! I've got some shrimp in there too, we'll see if they like it.

Oh no! They should show up right in the post but if that's not working, they're the first two photos in my media gallery.

Thank you. Very odd for I don't see them.

This is the first time I've seen it, and also the first time I've actually kept them in a high light setup. This particular plant in this level of the tank has grown like gangbusters.
