I didn't take my photo.
That lowii of Antec's is very unusual because it has what looks like a third petal "fused" onto the dorsal. Generally, lowiis aren't that way. |

Hehehe, okay, it IS my photo, I lied.
(no, I didn't.)
I did take this photo though - of the plant. Which I think is pretty hot!
this is my old lowii, which sadly, was a weak plant from the start....RIP.
The cat is alive and well (tho she may not look it in the photo...)  |

Heather, which lowii cross is that? Looks good to me!
Your cat looks as motivated as mine.
