That's a nice Utric nelumbifolia you've got there - do you keep it submerged, or treat it like your U.longifolia? I keep mine submerged in a tub of water with lfs and live moss for show...
Awesome utrics!
In what kind of conditions do you grow the Quelchii ?
Nice stuff there butch. How long does it take for quelchii to go from the tricolor-esque baby leaves to those larger more paddle shaped leaves? Has yours bloomed or is it still a youngster yet?
Here is my "quelchii"
Now has a whopping 3 leaves grows far far slower than tricolor. Someday it's going to be mounted on a mossy branch but I have a feeling it's gonna be years...

Thanks for looking

Butch, really nice plants!!! I also discovered cypress mulch which is a very good additive to most CP mixes d/t it's natural antiseptic qualities. I think I may have underestimated the usefulness of trichoderma when I used to grow these plants. You are a fine grower!
