Re: Bobtastic's Iwagumi Scape
OK.
your plant choice is bold! but good.
positioning is where it could make or break.
what I'd suggest....if you want those plants, think about where they maybe placed a bit different.
e.g...
Bobtastic said:
Background:
Rotala
Blyxa
Crypts: Balansae, Wendtii "Green"
wendeti green, can grow shorter than most, so maybe mid ground
blyxa, a midground plant usualy.
rotala, stays in the back!
balansae, IMO would ruin it.

Staurogyne sp.
Eleocharis Acicularis
Glossostigma elatinoides or Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba'
Pogostemon Helferi
A good mixture of plants, but use some to accent areas. acicularis can be made into a focal point or just to accent areas.
glosso, foreground
pogostomon, treat like tenelus, and plant around stones maybe.
staurogyne, again, to highlight areas.
youve got the makings of a classic iwagumi, so I'd be tempted to simplify the plant species...glosso, grass, blyxa (to replace tenellus) crypts would give a sense of 'wild'
google the master, 'amano' and check out his works...all should become clear.
too much vodka, makes me vague
and I'm struggling to find the keys.
