They had that Ricordea 5 pack on sale on LA so i took the opportunity to add to my current little mushroom collection. I think i like where this is going. How does it look??? :dance:

Those are some nice looking Rics! I like that blue/teal bi color on the right.

I really enjoy Ricordia. I have found two that really struck me as a little harder to find. One of which my buddy snatched from right in front of me at a frag swap! It was a very nice pastel orange with a pastel green rim.

The other, and by far my most favorite was purchased from my LFS. The store owner didn't want to sell, but his employee had already bagged it. I guess it was placed in the wrong retail display, but I do a lot of business with him so I am very persuasive :) It is a lime green ricordia that is unlike anything I have found as of yet! I will keep searching for unusual Rics!

Please excuse the Cyano...I can't get rid of this stuff!

Wow that lime green one is beautiful. I love Ricordeas as well, except my LFS never seems to have them. They do have a yuma now, but it is kind of bland and boring and overpriced.
 
Loving that lime green one too. Pretty tough to come by up here at lfs, always on the hunt too. That 5 pack looking pretty sweet
 
I have a little garden going. I love Ricordia. I have collected over 50 to date this photo was about 5 months ago.

Nice rics BTW to everyone...

Krzy, is that Yuma rock from LA? And I can't believe it but my light and dark blue rics are already splitting!
 
I love the pics! Especially the Lime Green one!!

I recently found Rics myself. When I first saw one I thought to myself, "what a beautiful alternative to Mushrooms". I have three different ones. My first I bought from a guy that I found on CL. It is a mix of orange and purple with a green center. Like the one in the picture above. Unfortunately, it's colors don't quite pop as much. I got that piece for $20 because it had (or so we thought) 2 heads. But when I got it under my LEDs, I realized that there was a 3rd. The second one that I got, I got from a LFS. Which bites because it's smaller then a dime and it cost me $20! But it is one of the brightest that I've seen. That one is orange with a greenish/yellow mouth. And the third one is bright pink with with a purple rim. I think that I made out good on that purchase because I got the Ric, a Red Planet and a tile with 40+ Red Hornet Zoas for $50.

Once I get some decent pics of them, I'll post them.
