Crypt. Flamingo

I managed to get a couple of tubs, ok, more than a couple of this plant and I must say that it looks beautiful and I did not think much of it when I was first shown a photo last year, they only sell this plant in T/C. Beautiful plant and I only hope that I can it justice on my farm.

A couple of photos showing the growth on my farm.

Rotala Sp Japan Purple

This plant I saw at a shop and the name that they gave me was Rotala Japan Purple, will try and find the real name. Pardon the photos, thanks Mr. Chen.

Trip to Guangzhou

Made a trip to GuangZhou this week to visit some farms and took the time to have a look at the local aquatic market.

I have been visiting the market for close to five years and I have found that the range of plants available for sale have shrunk considerably over the years and now everyone sells almost the same plants and it is getting harder to find interesting plants, maybe it is time to cut down on trips to Guangzhou.

This is the latest shipment from Andrew, just a small shipment of two types of Buce.
