Thanks for the recommendation on the Tiger Lotus. I'll check it out.
Some other folks have mentioned that that my red plant might actually be
the emersed species Alternanthera sessilis which won't work submerged.
I *just* received my Kesselman book in the mail, so I'll be checking
that out, too. :)

Thanks for the tip. I had just reinstalled Mozilla, and the new 1.3beta
