I'm pretty sure I got one of my manatee grasses to bloom. I think they were male flowers and were not showy at all. Seagrasses are crazy! Separate sexed plants. Underwater blooms and pollen! Most fresh water plants send their blossoms above water.

I'm going to have to go ahead and make that one of my goals as well! Flowers!
Wow, that sounds like a loftly goal. I wish you the best of luck and would love to see that happen in your tank!
