To me, that looks female. Notice the ovate shape of the flowers and lack of a pollen ball.

Loving CP’s since 2016

when the flower spike was small i was sure it was a male so round. I was hoping for a female.

I've got some males blooming right now if you want to make some crosses. Also have N. Leesii pollen already stored from about 2 months ago.
