Dreaded Azolla

[John Robinson]

Azolla-Water Fern
This plant is now on the dangerous plants list and it is now illegal to sell it. Ithas been aquarists who have chucked it away in ponds when it takes over their tanks. It then does the same- completely covers the pond and stopsall sunlight.
Shame its so pretty !!

John, For me it's wonderful: I always examine whether there are the proper rules, here there is a so great texture and various colors, not exactly the golden hour, but some points of anchorage.

Beautiful colors and very good detail throughout the image! (Too bad it's a noxious plant.) This is very nice as presented. I'm wondering, as a follow up, if you could set this up with a frog's head poking up in one of the ROT positions - could be spectacular! Just a thought for you to ponder. :S3:

Cracking Idea Steve !! Trouble is this was taken last month and I have now "deceased" it all !!

Lovely colours John, I haven't been troubled with this one yet, I did have a dose of duckweed last year but OK this year.
