Limnophila aromatica structure

I trimmed my aromatica the other day and was squeezing the stem for my wife to smell when I noticed how cool the structure of the stem was, never noticed it before. Thought it was a good photo op!

Wishing I had a set of tubes in my arsenal but a crop will have to do.

Hell, looks pretty damn good without any tubes! Very cool, I've never noticed the stem structure before either. It looks an awful lot like okra, when slices, without the seeds.

Taste's similar to rosemary. (I know because I grew it emersed in the pond last year. Won't touch the stuff I pull from my tanks.

)

I posted the same thing on Planted Tank. That's just scary.

Yeah, I think so. It's a running joke that Kris and I have.

Thanks all! I cant believe I never noticed it before, I have to start looking at the stems more.

I looked up okra, it does look a little like that
