As you guys know im pretty useless with plants but i am experimenting as much as i can!

I put an order in with Last Trading Post on eBay for 25 tropical plants (£5.99) and they turned up this morning, (cheers for the info Minnnt) :D

I dont really want to fish them out of the bag to photo them as im at work and want to keep them moist until i get home tonight! But if you can ID any plants in there i'd be most greatful as i'll be able plant them relatively quickly after a quick wash in a bucket when i get home.

I've noticed a couple of amazon swords and somethign that looks like Egeria Densa but thats honestly all i can identify :D

thanks! :D

I'm far from an expert, but the plant in the first pic, on the right is wisteria or water sprite, I think. Like you, I'm new to plants and this is one I got to experiment with. The other one in the first pic is a sword of some kind. It looks like the one I got. If it is, it will grow really tall. Mine is up and out of a 2ft tank. They all look great. Good luck!
 
First pic is Amazon Sword and Water Sprite.

Second pics is Hygro Difformis (water wisteria), Egeria Densa and possibly Bacopa Carolinia.

Third possibly Ludwigia of some sort and more Egeria.

Not sure on left and right but centre is a Willow leaf form of hygro. It will shed all those leaves and the submeresed growth will be brighter and more narrrow.
 
Cheers guys! Im really liking the water sprite, i think its probably my favourite of them all so far. I've put most in the mid to back of the tank, most should get a decent amount of light and i've gone a bit mental and put a root tab under everything.
