I picked this plant up at an auction several months ago from Joe. It's an Apogeton Boiviaianus. I moved it into the 120 earlier this month and WOW it's grown!

It decided to throw up a runner and I couldn't bring myself to pinch it, so I thought I'd document the bloom.

The runner is about 8 foot long now. I think it's that long because it kept looking for a way to get above water (there's not much room between the waterline and the glass top in that tank).
The bud was a couple of inches long.
The flower is now almost 5 inches tall.

Sunday when I was doing water changes, it started poking its head above water.
