What does IAPLC stand for? To be honest, although this is insanely good in my opinion, I don't like it as much as "Boraras Dream"

Thanks Tim. IAPLC stands for International Aquatic Plant Layout Contest.

another really nice creation bhusan, but i have to say, i think "spring colors" beats this by a good margin at least for me, either way, both this and spring colors is something i cannot even dream of doing myself, its a case of lesser of the best
