u. pubescens flowers

[Jcal]

My pubescens flowered and I was able to snap a few photos.

My graminifolia is flowering as well. Ill get some close ups of that later but here's a iPhone pic of the two plants.

Looking good. Mine has 3 stalks up and is a few days away from opening the 1st flowers.

If you only knew how much graminifolia I'm grown and I've only ever seen ONE flower. And you have already beat me in a tiny cup! I'm not kidding I could have carpeted my bedroom...Enjoy it!

How well is the pubescens growing in that much water? I've flooded mine for a day or so but never tried it long term that wet.

The pubescens was flooded prior to taking pics. I don't keep it flooded on the surface like that. Just wanted to keep it cool during the macro shots. The lights tend to get hot when I'm taking pics.

I have several test cups of graminifolia. I haven't seen a peep from trials, but the emergent cup seems to be the happiest! That container does stay full of water and the plant is always submerged.

Thanks! I've been waiting for other flowers to open. It takes forever!

Gorgeous flowers! These are both sepcies that have been on my want list for some time, due to the shape and color of the flowers. Pubescens also for the leaf shape, it's just so odd..... great work!

Thank you all. A few side shots of this flower.

Here's mine......

Also nice looking!

Agreed!
I thought my plant was slightly different because I didn't have the "bullseye" center like all of the other flowers I have seen but the newer flowers are showing that characteristic.

Some pots have the open center & some don't. My guess is that the happier the plant, the more likely the bullseye ...

.... between the flowers & the cool leaves - definitely a neat little plant.
