Nice.

One of my favorite species. Mine finally finished blooming about a month ago.

 

[Ozpaph]

very nice

Stuuning Rick. Really nice white halo on that one.

 

[SlipperFan]

Excellent, Rick!

 

[chrismende]

Fabulous!

classic liemianum, I can just barely see the reddish cillia on the edges of the base of the leaves. All the markers of the 'true' species.

In these days there are a lot of hybrids parading around as cochlopetalum species.

Good one Rick.

That is an interesting comment. Is that how you would tell the difference? On a recent trip to Holland I saw a large number of plants of that ilk which quite plainly were a hybrid and not a species. Then at a local show shortly after a plant (labeled 'liemianum') was awarded first place and my belief was that the awarded plant was one of these. When I questioned wether the plant was even a species, I was shouted down, but had no way to prove or substantiate my suspicion.

So cute!

Aside from the lovely bloom, the leaves are interesting and quite nice.
Uh oh, another to add to my spring list.

I'll have to get down on the leaf edges and get a better PIC.

That really sucks to hear. Ego driven.

Lovely bloom! My favourite Cochlo-species.

So if the cillia are not red does that mean mine is a hybrid, and if so with what? The cillia on mine are pale.

I can see this thread is heading in a new direction. Please, yes, would the cilia be a means of telling between species and masquerade? (that just sounded cute, but the question is real)
