Re: Bucephalandra sp Achilles
Hi Vasteq,
really nice plants!
First I doubted that "Achilles" belongs to Bucephalandra at all, because such pronounced lateral nerves of the leaves are rather known from certain Aridarum species. But in that blog are pics of an "Achilles" inflorescence (exposed spadix, with spathe removed) showing the characteristics of Buce:

I notice rather upright growing rhizoms in large Bucephalandra forms ("Pancuraji", "Serian" etc.). Is that also the case in Buce "Achilles", or have the rhizoms a more creeping growth?
