is the bottom rooted or a bulb?  looks like maybe a Cryptocoryne crispatula var. balansae, or a wavy onion plant (I forget the name)?  what was it "supposed" to be norm?

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.  So love the people who treat you right.  Forget about the one's who don't.  Believe everything happens for a reason.  If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.  If it changes your life, let it.  Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

Without seeing the entire plant, I can only suggest that it looks very strongly to be an aponogeton, longiplumulosus.  I am assuming the leaves are more than two feet long.

It would appear by the plantlets, that you could be garnering AHAP points as well.

yep sas that's the one I was thinking.  but norm, babble is far more the expert than I, so I'm betting he's right.  :)
