    Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

    I realize that it isn't the best picture... but does anyone have any ideas as to what it might be?

        Could it be this plant?  I got some from Village a while back but it couldn't tolerate the combined heat and poor lighting.

              Does anyone know what it is ?
              This plant has no roots and usually floats. But mine has interwoven with java moss and driftwood so it makes a nice ground cover.

              He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

                      The top plant is Hygrophila lacustris, and the bottom plant is Riccia spp. indeed.
