Bucephalandra flower, absolutely tiny. For scale, the whole tank is 12" high. Plus, this phal sp. -blooms constantly in it

This looks great! I haven't had a planted tank for a few years. I'm excited to finally set one up again in the next month or two :)

Thanks! My recommendation: go fully low light low tech, or splurge for the pressurized CO2 system and high light. Anything inbetween is more frustrating than enjoyable. I highly recommend dwarf pea puffers as inhabitants in small planted tanks if you're looking for ideas

Really you should just go ahead and skip the PT and go for a paludarium 😉

I've already bought the supplies: Going high tech with medium/high lighting and pressurized CO2. Dwarf peas are out because I keep shrimp as well. Ember tetras are my "go to" small schooling fish.

Pretty Quince! :)

I refer to this one as my grab bag Paph. I was given 7 different Paphs by a pal that couldn’t make them bloom again. I think it was because he had them in azalea pots. None of them were tagged so I put them all in one pot so when one blooms it’s always a surprise. This is the first. @Leo in N E Illinois have any idea what it is??😁😁😁

There are so many greens, because they are the stepping stone to making bigger and better shaped whites. The flower quality indeed looks like one of the awarded greens. But I can not guess which one. Odds are "Hanes" might be part of the clone name or part of the name of one of the parents. I'm drawing a blank. I would give this one an HCC or an AM if the size was there. The form is great & color is clean.
