Flowering Glosso

pweifan · 05-10-2008, 12:24 AM

Like many others, I've been experimenting with growing some plants emersed. Among some other plants, I was trying to grow glossostigma. It was really taking off for several weeks, but after returning from a 4 day weekend almost all of it had died.

Well, I've been slowly nursing it back to health for over a month. It doesn't look great, but it's finally looking healthy again. Well this morning I noticed around 6 tiny flowers!

My camera doesn't have a macro setting, so this was as good as I could get. The flower is probably 2-3 mm across, the bud is a large head of a pin.

If you think my photography skills are bad, you should see what the pic would look like if I DID photoshop it
