Aponogetons are one of the few aquarium plants that are relatively easy to 
propagate by flower -- you just smear pollen around with a Q-Tip, and 
seeds start to develop.  The only problem is that some species are 
self-pollinating while others require two plants to do this.   Best bet is 
to try it out and see what you can do -- odds are pretty good!
