Val Asiatica Biwaensis (Thick Corkscrew val)

"Hello my name is Dustin and I have a Val problem."

The first step is admitting the problem right?  I love Val and am on a quest to collect ALL of the varieties of Val. I have said it before and I'll sat it again. I would like val in my coffin if something happens to me.

Enter- The next Val. Val Asiatica Biwaensis.

What does it's name mean? I have no idea.  Something to do with Asia. Here is what we do know. It's pretty killer.

This Val is like a mix between Spiral Val (or Val Torta/ corkscrew) with the spiral leaves crossed with GIANT Val. 

Yep- it has a thicker and wider leaf to it with a neat spiral as well.

While I haven't had this plant instock long as of 8.26. We have 4 x 8 foot by 8 foot basins of val. We know these plants.   THIS PLANT IS GOING TO MELT, BUT IT WILL COME BACK! EXPECT THEM TO BE SHORT, THEY ARE BEING TRIMMED BACK ! 

BUT like ALL Vallisneria it will grow back stronger. 

Because of the thicker leaves of this species of Vallisneria, it will take tad longer to grow back than a thin variety.
