Wow Jeffrey.. I see your collections have grown a lot. Finally got your Pearl Grey. Your Ikebana is beautiful bro....Well Done!! Love the Ampungan with its red stem. And the darker shades of motleyana is simply awesome. Really tempted to get some!
Thanks Nasir ... ^^ .. Yes, I already have pearl grey, dark grey, ampungan, pawan, aridarum mini, aridarum velutandrum in my collections now :-)
Motleyana is the first plant that make many hobbyist around the world start to craze about Bucephalandra. When this plant first got the popularity in my country, I didn't like this plant at all. The color is just black in the photo, not very interesting plant.
Just about two days ago, my friend offered this specimen for sale. At first, I didn't get too excited. The photo I'd received from him was still the same "dead-looking black leaves" plant. But, I'm curious, so I went to his small farm in the back of his house, and when I saw them with my own eyes. OMG, this plant is actually a true beauty. The color can change black - blue hue metallic grown under good lighting and provide enough micro - macro fertilizer. So, I just bought all of his stock. haha.. He already successfully cultivated them from a very small single rhizome/plant until 3 large clumps for about a year plus. So, it's possible if we want to cultivated any other Bucephalandra and hopefully no need to collect from the wild anymore in the future.
And, yes, B. motleyana is a MUST to collect if you are a Bucephalandra collector. ;-) very beautiful, indeed.
really nice plants
Thought one of the specimens which I own is a goner (see the rest of its structure; it's almost rotting away), until I saw a pair of new leaves shoot out from its tip:

This species can survive even when all the leaves are gone. :-) when you have the "botak" plant, don't waste them.

There are about 10 kind of Microsorums + 2 small Bolbitis (near the left front - Bolbitis Heteroclita Cuspidata and Bolbitis Gua Angin - heigh about 8 cm). The Java fern are: "mini Windelov" in the middle, Narrow "K" on the right of "mini Windelov", Thor's Hammer on the left , and Cross on the right of Thor's. Some bucephalandra are much bigger than other - at the middle you can see Super Blue (one of the biggest) and Buce. Sedong (on the right of SuperBlue)

Bucephalandra sp. "Mini Catherineae" NEW!
mini catherineae (in a small clump), compared to the size of adult's index finger. This is definitely one of the smallest Bucephalandra ever found. And a very beautiful Bucephalandra variant.
