Lowii

[Happypaphy7]

This is from Springwater breeding.
I see that they still sell some seedlings from the same batch.
Mine was purchased about three years ago at least. It is still in its 3inch round plastic pot. I meant to repot but never got to it.
The plant has grown quite a bit of roots and there is a two inch thick layer of root balls above the pot. Sorry about the very dark image.

It has taken a lot of abuse of underwatering and too much shade. The flowers are quite nice and hopefully I will see more flowers in the future with better care.
The natural spread is at a little over 15cm. Such a colorful beautiful species!!

That is a great flower. Plant sure is ready to grow! With such a vigorous plant, it will get huge in time but you should get six flowers by then too.

That's neat.

Beautiful lowii! For me the spots look much bigger then usual. I Like that!

very nice flower. Not so sure about the roots - are they firm and healthy?

That is a lovely chunky clone.

I was wondering the same thing.

They are firm & healthy. They appear dark because of the old moss stain over time.

Lovely lowii! Colouring looks great - would it be possible to see a photo in a more natural light?

Fantastic color.

This one looks like the dark 'Malaysian Princess' lineage. What are the parents and source?

That is a great dark purple color.

Springwater AM/AOS is one parent and its sibling. I do think this seedling turned out very nicely!
i just need to take better care & see how many more flowers I can get.

Oops, this is for LeslieEe.
