I have tried to paint a couple of plants that are in my pond. Dunno their names and dunno if you can make them out from my art either (in the absence of camera).

The first one, my friend says is an oxygenator and spreads in the water nicely. I notice the fish frequently near this plant. This grows in water and spreads nicely while the second one there has curled leaves, the leaves forming a cup where some fish, esp. the tiger barbs and the young babies of the guppies like to come (in those cups). This one is kept in some sand in the step abut 9 inches deep and it has white flowers that last a day. I have kept the canna so that the roots and soil touch the water. I have kept Bulrush in another corner. I have a couple of other plants that their names are not known to me.
