Default Cryptocoryne xpurpurea "Lundu" spathe
Got some specimens in March and didn't really pay much attention to them as i thought they won't flower this season. One of the fellas did send out a spathe in May and by the time I'd noticed it, it was just 2 days from opening. Here's the fella:



Close up of the spathe



The identity of this taxon remains awaits confirmation; these specimens came from Lundu in Sarawak while the known hybrid, C. xupurpurea nothovar. borneoensis is found in southern-central Kalimantan.

Aaron, its an easy enough crypt. requirements are similar to the other blackwater varieties like C. longicauda and C. cordata var. zonata. Grows rather prolifically too!

Ghazanfar, I have runners to spare already.
