I figured I might as well start a single thread for the flower pics, even if its only one new one at the moment. C. ideii.

Hi Sean,
Very beautiful spathe. Your ideii´s flower is more beauty that mine

(too long limb)

One question: I see your plastic pot....what´s your substrate in this case?

Greetings from Spain!

Nice flower.

do you share some culturing info? I started few month ago with ideii culturing...

Thanks guys,

The C. ideii went into a leaf mould of unknown species mixed with peat and a little sand. The pot sits 3/4's submerged in rain water.

The Cryptocoryne usteriana x walkeri that Jan gave me is about to flower underwater again. Sadly, the flower doesn't open up.

Sweet! Congrats on the flower man.

Sean,

Do you have any pictures of the C. usteriana x walkeri? I'm curious what it looks like.

Hello Sean,

your's is C. sp. "Sekadau" (a crypt related with ideii and ferruginea) rather than ideii s. str.
I'd suggest to give full collecting codes for safer identification: This seems to be the green clone collected by Norito Takahashi in 2004 (Borneo, Kalimantan Barat) - NT 0405.

Congrats, well done! Your Cryptocoryne cf. ideii "Kalimantan Tengah: Muara Teweh (Idei A-09)" is much harder to get to flower than Cryptocoryne sp. "Kalimantan Barat: Sekadau 'Green' (NT 0405)"!
