The Eichornia Diphylla is an extremely common, medium-sized plant and can be found in damp places. It blooms once a year, for 4 months. It has narrow, pointed leaves, which are usually yellow-green. It also grows small flowers, which can be light yellow, grey, pink and blue. These plants grow in small groups, but it's tricky to control and maintain their growth. They can be used as an energizer when eaten. As a defense mechanism the Eichornia Diphylla grows stinging hairs, like a nettle. They rely on wind pollination to reproduce. Once pollinated, they grow fairly large, inedible nuts.
