Mine would be java moss because you can do so many things with it.Algae wins the vote for the most annoying i would say! Although it's not a plant?!

Algae is a plant. Without it, most life would probably not exist on this planet.

My current favourite group of aquarium plants are the Cryptocorynes.

But if I could only have just one species it would be Microsorium pteropus (Java fern). So easy to grow, yet wonderfully attractive when grown well. Instant focal point and midground. Doesn't even need a substrate. Brilliant!

Actually it isn't, Blue-green algae is more closely related to bacteria than to plants. It is a Monera and filamentous algae is a protoctista, which is more closely related to protozoa.

I like Red Ludwigia. Its easy an fast growing, and the top leaves go a nice red.

Yes, it is!
