#445: 31L Paludarium Enliven

James Plemmons Viera, United States

Comments

This was a little hard to judge. It is not a traditional paludarium but an attempt has clearly been made to integrate the water and land areas in an artful way and the plants also clearly bridge the land/water interface. So we will let it stand in this category. The plants both submersed and emersed are extremely well tended and perfectly trimmed.
