The 2nd spathe on my Cryptocoryne pygmaea opened up and now I have my macro lens! Time to take some detail pictures!

Ok – FINALLY the spathe opens up! Took forever! I spotted the spathe emerging almost 6-7 weeks ago.
Funny how some spathes take only 1 week from a tiny lil nub to full bloom – this one holds my current record
for longest time taken for spathe to mature.

Anyway – onto the pictures…
Notice 2 additional immature spathes on the same plant.
