Default C. minima (Bast. 1094), Sumatran green type...
I received this plant in november 2006 from Kai, a really beautiful minima strain.


Firstly looked like probably it melted. But after few months it started to grow up.



More and more...



And finally it flowered, yesterday it opened its first spathe. Really minimum flower buried into the soil. Due to the little size of the flower and the density of the leaves I could not take a good shoot, and trying to remove it, I broke the limp of the spathe... Basically the color is cream white, with some purple in the collar.




Looking inside the kettle...


and with opened throat...

nice work Xema,
I'd realised that your plants retained much of the bullated texture on the cultivars. Are they placed in a lesser humid environment most of the time?

Pity the spathe broke off. But being rather prolific bloomers, I reckon that it would sent out another spathe pretty soon.

They are full time in 100% humidity environment.

Yeah, this strain has a beautiful leaf.

Take a close look into the male flowers... there is a kind of bug.

So that's why it's called "minima"

Congrats, Xema! I'm glad that this plant recovered nicely.

My submersed leaves look quite similar to the 100% humidity leaves shown by Xema. My emersed plants (maybe 90% humidity?) have more heavily bullated (and fairly round) leaves as shown by the little plantlet I sent Xema.

interesting so a lower humidity yields more bullated leaves?
