Wednesday (June 24) a box came in the post with some really great new plants. One of the members at The Planted Tank Forums (external link) sent me these in exchange for some of my material.
These plants were all decorative aquarium varieties/species, but the grower had used a hydroponic setup to culture them. Their colors were amazing. I include specimen shots below that I got as I replanted them. I potted most of them up in riparium hanging planters. It was quite a bit of material, so I had to set them up in a new 20 gallon.
Alternanthera reineckii var. rosaefolia
Unknown, accession #02, 24-VI-09
Polygonum 'Sao Paolo'
Lobelia cardinalis
Hyptis sp.
Ludwigia sp.
There were also a few crypts in the package.
Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Green Gecko'

This last plant had such interesting subtle white variegation.
