Is purpurea the one that is no longer found in the wild?

Very nice photos of a very nice plant.
How are you growing it - substrate, water conditions - stuff like that?
Thanks in advance. Bill

Bill, I'm glad you find this plant very nice. It's grown in ADA Amazonia AquaSoil, Phoenix Arizona water, pressurized CO2, T5HO medium to high
lighting and EI dosing.

The spathe broke off today. I took a picture of the spathe and the spadix.

Nice coloration and sorry the spathe detached on you.

I did a water change last night and I must have knocked it with the Python*. Thanks for the positive feedback.
