Hi all,

This is my first post but I've been reading ukaps for years, so thank you for all the info.

On to my question. I was watching a video of the 2018 AGA Aquascaping Live contest, where George Farmer was a judge. In Amanda Eldridges' scape there was a really interesting plant. It has purple leaves and green stems. Does anyone know what this plant is? The plant is in the mid-ground on the right of the tank in this link: http://picdeer.com/media/1895910320663066259_13259097
I've tried various searches here and on Google but cannot find it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

Dont see any purple leaves

I had to look twice, just in front of the wood at the back right.

I think the leaves are rolled, so that the purple bit is the under-surface of the leaf.

I don't know what it is, but I'll set the ball rolling, how about <"Aponogeton crispus "Red">?

cheers Darrel

Its an entree from the Aqauscaping live contest 2018 it seems..

http://aquaticexperience.org/fish-competitions/

contact this organisation if they can help you to get a listing of this entree.. Ususaly when you enter a contest you also enter a list with used plants hardscape material, lifestock and pictures etc. etc. This scape must be documented somewhere..

Yeah found them, thought it was wood at first.
Hard to get an idea from this.

I was just googling sword plants and saw something that looked just like that... let me see if I can find it again!

That looks about right.

Thank you all so much. Tam, your googling skills are top notch.

I've grown Ech. 'aflame', some years ago - every single plant looking "croocked" like this, but with fantastic deep purple colour in higher light levels. It was dismissed for production on its growth-pattern.
- so I agree, this is Echinodorus 'aflame'.
