Maureen Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Do these plants bloom? I just put 4 stems in a week ago and have what appear to be buds at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dyer Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Not that I have seen, but it does grow from the top so the buds just may be the new growth. If it does flower take pictures though, I'd love to see it 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I may have to give it a try 🙂 Is native to western Australia and is found as described - 'Aquatic or semi-aquatic herb, 0.3-0.6 m high. Fl. pink/pink-purple, May to Oct. Wet muddy soils, sandy clay, sand. River beds, often in fast-flowing water, billabongs, swamps.' I like the word billabong - my goal this week is to use it correctly in a post on this forum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 http://en.wikipedia.org//static/favicon/wikipedia.ico Billabong - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG A billabong (/ˈbɪləbɒŋ/ BIL-ə-bong) is an Australian term for an oxbow lake, an isolated pond left behind after a river changes course.[1] Billabongs are usually formed when the path of a creek or river changes, leaving the former branch with a dead end. As a result of the arid Australian climate in which these "dead rivers" are often found, billabongs fill with water seasonally but can be dry for a greater part of the year.[2] 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
