Plants in my MicroAquarium

A little update, something I've left out before is what two plants are in my MicroAquarium. Fontinalis sp. (the fuzzy plant) and Utricularia gibba L. (the flowering plant). Fontinalis is a moss that was collected from the Holston River along John Sevier Hwy under I 40 Bridge with partial shade exposure. The Utricularia gibba L. is a flowering and carnivorous plant originally from the South shore of Spain Lake on Camp Bella Air Rd. It was grown outside of the greenhouse of the Hesler Biology Building in water tanks at the University of Tennessee. All of this information on these plants comes from the "Mother Blog" by Dr. Ken McFarland. it can be found at http://botany1112013.blogspot.com/ under the post "Plants Added to MicroAquarium."
