Paul, that is VERRRRRRY nice! Congratulations on growing and blooming it so well. I'm very happy to read that you will be selfing it. This plant should be propagated. Good luck!

Beautifull!!!I f you want to share seeds,I will be glad to try germinate and obviously send you free flask...

Marc,
I'd be very careful there. The albinistic micrathums are mostly very slow growing, if they grow at all. The problem will not be finding an expensive plant, but to find a piece that you can successfully grow over time. I've seen quite a few skillful grows over the years giving up on white micranthum.
My advive as a starting point would be: buy 10 normal micrathums as a trail and see if you can manage these. If they do fine, AND FLOWER well for you, I'd consider the albino.

Good advice thanks!

I'm so impressed by the skill involved in blooming this plant, and the flower itself is beyond wonderful. Congratulations on your growing and on the plant itself. We will all be eagerly waiting to hear how your selfing goes.
