Is it possible to have Ludwigia repens flower underwater ?

Small greenish diamond buds , that do open up. The "flowers" look really ugly compared to the emersed yellow. I just wanted to know if it is not a weird leaf for a flower coincidence .

Eugen,

I've had stems flower under water before. Those are definitely flower buds you're describing. If you let the top of the stem grow out of the water a bit they'll open up. If your lights are too close they'll burn.

Actually, I've been toying with the idea for a while Ghazanfar. All proceeds are mine. :mrgreen:

I'm serious about doing it. It could be really nice.
