Unknown Crypt (1)
This Crypt makes my head spin. So far I was unable to identify it. I think it could be C. undulata, but my other undulata is mostly greenish and much more compact. I am waiting for a spathe.

When I got it, the leaves weren´t so broad as you can see on the following picture.

Hello have you ever identified this crypt? I was sold a pot of hudoroi and it now looks like this plant.

That is C. undulata ‘red’ – a color morph of the regular C. undulata. A favorite red crypt of the late Mr. Takashi Amano; it is almost always the only red cryptocoryne species he’d ever use in his layouts. Not even C. wendtii ‘red’ (my perdonal favorite & thus easy for me to distinguish them apart).
