Another instance of "there are always exceptions to the rules," I guess! My
Riccia forms big dense pillows that grow strongest where they spin around
right next to the filter outflow waterfall... A funny bonus is I have a
Crinum thalium (? the straight-leaved kind of onion plant, not the African C.
natans) - and the tips of the Crinum's leaves got hung up in the Riccia, and
were twisted into a semi-permanent deformity - I have a Corkscrew Crinum
thalium! Now if only LaMarck had been right about passing on acquired
characteristics...
