A couple plants

A week later with a little different scaping.

Yesterday with some new plants

Thought it was stargrass but its Rotala. Stargrass is in the middle.

Thats it for now. More plants to come.

Feedback??

Very nice, I just love journals. I like your little cave/bridge that you've done with the rocks, I might try it if I get some nice rocks. Looking good so far, keep up the good work!

Never seen stargrass before do you know the Latin?

Looking good so far, you planning on having more plants or seeing how these look filled out?

Stargrass - Heteranthera zosterifolia
I have it incorrectly planted. I got this from a close fellow hobbyist who sent it for the price of shipping and I've never seen it before but saw he had it labeled stargrass which I assumed meant it was to be planted as grass. Oh well I'll just have to replant it.
EDIT:Yet another mistake by me it is Rotala Rotunfifolia "green" in the front its now planted how it should be. Stargrass is in the back middle.

I look to add

10 stems of healthy Alternanthera reineckii 'rosaefolia'
5 stems of Limnophila Aromatica
10 stems of Rotala Rountifolia
10 stems of Ludwigia palustris
2x2 Pellia (middle rock)
1x1 Utricularia Graminifolia (foreground)

Some of the plants that are in there are just fast growers that will eventually come out.
