My collections updated... :-)
Sintang, Sekadau, Sanggau, Melawi
Lamandau: small green, small purple, giant purple, etc. So many variants in one location.
Lamandau giant purple, I found these giant clumps 20x18cm. 150+ stalks / rhizomes / plants
Very beautiful plants indeed !
In the photos of the submersed form the many little white dots on the leaf surface are those due to pearling ?
Will the leaf change from emersed to submersed growth ?
The little white dots are more visible in submers forms - on the emers are not so intensive or sometimes just not exist. The old emersed leaves are not changing under the water - always are still the same - only new young submersed leaves growing usually more colorfull and beauty.
What are the white dots? I thought they are tiny O2 bubbles from photosynthesis, are they not ?
Very impressive photo you took too.
No, this is not O2This is characteristic of plant from the araceae family. You can see it even in Anubias but not so intensive. See all my photos - good macro camera show you that better than a normal digital photos. Here you can see green, old and probably emersed leaves with no dots, and new, more colorful submersed leaves with many dots:
lajiaorongcn could you reply to my answer at flickr?
My explorer friend recently found specimens of bucephalandra with beautiful yellow spathe so I thought I will share the photograph here with all of you:
SOLID BLUE
A variety of medium size with a wonderful intense blue color, contracting along the leaf veins - in this case I think the trade name is correctly. Leaves slightly wavy at the edges, large, placed on short stems. The average growth rate - although I guess that should speed up if will get more leaves (as was the case with Kualakuayan2 which got "kick" with more leaves). Traditional parameters like all my bucephalandra:
GH 8
KH 6
pH 6.5
światło >0.7W/L
Co2 z butli + EC
Fertilizer by EI, exchange water - 30% per once a week
COPPEROne of my favorite varieties in terms of coloration - leaves shimmer in all colors of the rainbow - colors change with viewing angle - picture does not fully reflect this "miraculous". Young leaves reddish, turning green, with age yielding blue sheen. The oldest leaves sparkle with metallic purple (all the leaves are visible in the photo). Belongs to the small variety. I also have another specie with a similar name "Copper Leaf" - for a long time I thought that they are one and the same but now I realizes that vary in size and color.

as you all can see, this is wild cought on fully submerged leaft form the undeewate sunmerge leaf from my tank.
will abailable upon requesr
If I wish to purchase these Bucephalandra species in Singapore, where may I find them? Will the flowering type flower less easily if they are grown submerged?
Try at GC-shop :-)
Yes, they do flowering easily when grown submersed too...
