That's a beaut. One of the best hybrids around imo.

nightsky - i completely agree! I am excited to see how my lowii x truncata wide peristome turns out, though i honestly hope its something different enough to really stand out, and maybe even be just as nice as the original cross!

Very cool plant, Kris! I love lowii hybrids and have been looking for one of these for a long time. Nice find!

jbradt, good luck man... It took me nearly the entire span of my time in this hobby to get my hands on one... Hopefully cuttings start becoming more available, I know Nate took several cuttings of this one a year or so ago and sold them off, wonder how many rooted/survived...

What exactly is implied by 'Wide Peristome'? Is it a lowii with wide peristome or a truncata with wide peristome? If it's the later, is it in fact truncata or robcantleyii? Pics of the parents?
