Stipa sp
Commonly referred to as Bamboo Grass. We knew very little about this plant and through experimentation concluded it grows well in full sun or part shade. Ours grew to a height of about 3 feet tall and about 3 feet in diameter before we gave it a hair cut. It grew best when the pot sat in 3 inches of water but not submerged. The plant forms a dense ball with the lower stems and leaves drooping down covering much of the pot and providing shade for the fish.
Zephranthes citrina
Also known as Yellow Rain Lily it grows 3-10 inches tall in full sun to part shade and in moist soil or water to 3 inches deep over the crown. It blooms best if it receives a dry period usually in the winter. During the summer bloom time it is possible to force blooming by watering the plant with a heavy stream of water and three days later a flower appears. This plant grows from a bulb. Zone 5-11
