Glad that you guys appreciate the beauty of cryptocorynes! I was lucky as many of the flowers featured are from collected specimens with attached spathes. Its a pity that some of the collected spathes melted before blooming or I could have more to share .

The only species which I managed to bloom direct from cultivation so far are C. pontederiifolia 'Singapore', C. wendtii 'cultivated', C. longicauda 'Johor', C longicauda 'Bintan' and C. sp. 'Kota Tinggi', with more coming soon (my C. ferruginea 'Sungei Kerait', C. nurii 'Central Pahang' and C. cf. nurii 'Bintan' are developing spathes now ).
