Cryptocoryne wendtii – blooming spree! (3rd time this summer)

Good news: Another 14 days passed and C. wendtii is blooming again. Actually this is 3rd spathe this summer. I can say it is almost regular, every 2 weeks.

And of course, some photo documentation:

Cryptocoryne wendtii ‘Mi Oya’ – going to bloom in my tank (submersed)

Today I found out that my submersed Mi Oya has spathes – one quite big and one pretty small.

This article will be updated… (maybe later).

I wanted to open the spathe but I have clumsy hands so this (above) is result. I hope to be more successful next time.

Since I do not have any macro lens, I made this (above) pseudo-macro photo using my close-up lens. It is a bit blurry.
