Thanks!

Here is a bit of a rescape with a stone rearrangement and a couple of new taller plants.

Here's another view of that same tank from a different angle.

This should look pretty good when the plants get a chance to grow in.

Here is a quick shot of the 15-gallon from last night. I added some underwater plants.

Here are a couple more quick shots of the 15-gallon. The plants are looking happy and growing in pretty well.

I hung up a white sheet as a temporary backdrop for the picture. The foliage doesn't look so great against that tan wall. I wonder about repainting this part of the wall with white for the sake of picture-taking.

I took the Cyrtosperma johnstonii that I have going in my 50-gallon setup outside for a shot in the sunlight. This new leaf has more of the gold and pink.

This is a great plant, and pretty easy to grow in a riparium provided that you can give it some vertical space.

Hi Zach, I might have an extra plantlet or two after I divide this one up, but I have to check because I had several pending inquiries about it.

Where do you see them for sale? Perhaps I or somebody else could be talked into a combined order to save some on shipping(?).

A google search turned them up for sale at Asiatica for $22 plus $20 shipping a couple months ago, but I can't seem to find it on the website now.

I've got one planter left for the riparium I'm working on, and that seems to be one wicked plant :P

They must have sold out already in late winter. I don't see anybody else who currently has it available. I am working on finding some more sources for it and other unusual aroids. There are a couple of nurseries in Florida that I mean to get in touch with again. Another real cool plant that I am trying to track down is Lasia spinosa.

Can you remind me what other riparium plants you have going? I might be able to hook you up with something else that can work as an eye-catching centerpiece.
