Hi all,

I just get 4 of O. mesenterium. The leaves are extremely beautiful.. They look like a combination between Crinum calamistratum and Echinodorus sp. Anyone have tried this species before? Care to share experience? Thanks...







Regards,
Jeffrey

Hmm. It does look similar to a crinum calamistratum and a downoi, except bigger! Please keep us updated with photos of this plant in an aquascape.
