My new Green Gecko Crypt arrived yesterday. It took 8 days from Hong Kong. Crypt seems to be fine… of course, some leaves melted, but overall it looks great.

(EN): Finally! After many months it started to produce runners. Today I found 9 tiny plants (submersed). I added this Crypt to my “Swap/trade” list.
(CS): Konečně! Našel jsem 9 malých rostlinek C. sp. ‘Flamingo’. Trvalo jí to několik měsíců… Přidal jsem ji do mého seznamu k výměně (Swap/trade).

Tiny Cryptocoryne sp. ‘Flamingo’ 1.5.2012

Crypts don´t have vivid colors because they were in a shadow for a while (Flamingo likes more light than the other crypts). Under lower light the leaves are a bit brownish (or sometimes greenish) and looses its pink color.

Update 21.7.2012:

You can compare the same Crypt – more vivid colors due to a bit higher light intensity (well…I also used better camera).
