Bucephalandra

[bottles]

I'm enjoying these plants a lot. The photos don't do them justice. They're one of the nicest plants that I can get away with in my low tech setups.

Super Blue



Theia 9



Silver Powder (the first photo is when it started to flower, then I had to add a divider for my Channa Sp. Fire and Ice so the wood is propped up in the second photo. I'll update as the flower progresses)





Brownie Purple



I have a few other species, but no photos yet.

Please feel free to share your own.

Wow, that first one looks really cool. Haven't heard of these very much. Where'd you get yours?

Thanks.
I picked these up from local hobbyists.

Very nice one, I haven't seen them in any LFS around my area.

Thanks.
They are supposed to be quite new to the hobby. More species are still being discovered and I believe that there are over 200 species already.
I only heard about them, and started keeping them 2 months ago.

Here's the Bucephalandra Silver Powder flower. I have another Silver Powder that flowered as well.

I also picked up Black Mist.

I just ordered another 5 species that should be here by the end of the week.

I've got a Bucephalandra "Hades" and a "Blue Green" that I bought from a hobbyist. They are both fairly small right now, but I really like the plants, a bit pricey but I will probably add more. I may try to get one of the larger varieties next.

Post some photos if you like. I'd like to see the B. Hades.
I should have my 5 new species coming in today.
