Echinodorus Mercury
Origin / Breeder : Sergey Fomin (Hirurg), Jaroslawl
From the author's words: I am showing another promising plant in my opinion. I have named it "mercury". How did I like it? The dynamics of leaf color throughout life. The leaf is reddish at first and gradually turns brown. The leaf veins are more intensely colored, only in old ones do they become lighter. Gradually the leaf lightens, becoming a dirty brownish green. Pure green, not even on old leaves.
