well, I think mine went to seed, yesterday, while removing a plant to put in another tank, i saw these pink growths on the flower stalks, they were rather large, and dident appear to be doing anyhting for a while, but today I now have 4 new 1 inch tall plants, ..its a little hard to explain, so I will sow pics later. But will they turn into more bulbs? but i see more forming i think..Pics comming soon

I've had my Apons multiply like this, but none of my shoots survived, so I don't know for sure if they develop new bulbs. I'm fairly certain they will with time, but it will probably take a LONG time for them to develop to any reasonable size.

Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...

If they are seeds they will have to grow as seedlings in your substrate.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

I have been wondering how it worked with these plants. Mine has just put out its 6th flower in a row and I was wondering if anything could come of it. Keep us posted! Can't wait to see pictures!

A paint brush! That would be easy to work with and come by. In my bios class right now we are growing some plants and have to pollonate them with dead bees. Its a pain in the butt to hang on to the critters!

I will have to get my hands on a brush and see what kind of damage I can come up with. The way this thing is putting out flowers I should be able to do something with a little practic!
