as promised, more pictures:

and I have one more set of pictures to add. That is another grab bag of gobules at work, growing behind a cubicle on the windowsill.

There is no rhyme or reason, just whatever is in the store, or somehow got hold of.

possessed by some demon, I bought the large glass vase and planted a few crypts.  The 2.5 gal hex is planted with crypt willisii just to give them a home and they are growing partially submerged.  The smallest gobule has crypt parva.

This has the three gobules, and the middle one is an experiment with the smallest amount of substrate; to see how well the hair grass does.

Sherry, hahaha :o
yes, I have big plans. The one plant that i have not done is Anubia nana, because it grows erratically in my aquarium, that I fear it will fade under natural light.

There is a small Anubia growing well in the National Aquarium under low light.

Winter light may not be conducive to starting any new projects but that is my next plant. : (

Oh, what a lovely little plant that is! I need to get some of that.

Mark, what kind of water changes do you do to those small snifters? Daily? Do you dose with anything? I'm assuming that's Amano soil. Is it? You are so lucky to have wide window sills. I have no sills here at my house.
