I came home today to find my biggest anubias nana plant fowering!! It's a gorgeous little white flower with a "stalk" looking thing sticking up in the middle. I had no idea these plants ever flowered and this particular one isn't even near the surface.

Trying to get pics but I can't find my camera :%) It's in a 75 gallon with 1.6 watts per gallon. No CO2, no ferts infact no help from me at all. My anubias grow super well in this tank.

Sweet. Ours are at a lil over 2 WPG and all have those pretty flowers on them.

We added CO2 to the tank, then they even started pearling from the flower.

Wow, that must look so pretty. In all the research I've done on these plants I never once read that they will flower like this. I can only imagine how it'll look once I finally get some CO2

I often flower Anubias but not the nanna variety. Well done how tall is the stem and what size is the flower.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Here is a pic of some with flowers on them. The flowers are about a half inch long.
