A couple of Michael Koopowitz

That's a beauty.......lots of the sanderianum parent showing through on yours. Mine is in bud now and it'll be a first bloom so I'm waiting patiently for it to make its grand entrance.

Exciting! I'll have to tell my MK that everyone is coming to the party except him.

The first bloom, two spike MK has a leaf spread of 37 cm.
Flower petal lengths;
1-47cm
2-59 cm.
3-62 cm.
4-51 cm.
5-42 cm.
The 2 growth MK with 5 flowers has a 32cm. LS.
i didn’t measure flower petal lengths on this plant as they were not as long.

Thanks for doing these measurements. Based on this info, my MK is definitely in the BS range at 36-cm each leaf, proving he’s a problem child lol.

I read the post as 32 cm Lateral Spread. Did you mean 32cm for each individual leaf?

My leaves are over 30 cm each...

Here is a picture with a ruler. Sorry for the confusion...I actually looked up on AOS site correct way to measure. I didn’t straighten out a leaf. Perhaps I should of measured each leaf on each side?

I have another MK blooming but with 4 flowers, and each leaf is about 30 cm. Total width 58 cm.

The leaves on mine measure 36-37 cm in length (each leaf).

 

[southernbelle]

Wow, then mine has a long way to go. Even though 2 (what I thought were large) growths, mine is not even 32cm both leaves combined and straightened!!!. . Ive had it 2.5 years and it was a 4” pot single growth when I got it. In a 5” now, with good roots. But, mine clearly won’t join the party for a while.

Leslie, yours is probably just observing social distancing.

This plant is not that big, it is the second growth.

My MK is definitely on his way to the party now. Here he is a week after the picture I posted of him in low bud. I will do a separate post when the flowers open. Looking at it against the backlighting I think there will be four blooms but sometimes these guys have a way of surprising us.

Woohoo!!

Nice!

MK’s are rather quick growers. The 3 I have now were purchased in 2017-2018 and all 3 are blooming. The one that is on this thread and 2 growths was blooming this time last year. It is the plant on my avatar.

Wow, nice bloomings. I would not drink the water where you live, however!
