Are there different types of Kenya Trees? Just wondering since I have two that look different from each other, as far as color, and the way it blossoms out.

Kenya Tree is a vague common name. More often then not, it means Capnella species. There are many different Capnella, so to answer your question, yes there are different types of Kenya Trees. As far as a hobbyists point of view, there is very little variety in Kenya Trees available to the average aquarists with even fewer color variation.

I had a green Capnella once (from garf), but it got lost in an engr goby's hole. As Travis stated, most that we as hobbiests see are pretty much the same. A pink Nephthea looks very much like the common Capnella, though (I had one of each and could compare structures and noticed minor differences-of course, this was on an external comparison with a magnifying glass).
