Thank you for the kind words! Yes the esseriana is in a 2" pot and has been the happiest pot of them I've had. Lately I mostly just lay extra leaves next to the plants in their pot for pullings instead of going through extra steps but part of that is also because I have the luxury of having...

Haven't been around these parts in a while and thought I should post some pictures in this thread. You all shared your experiences with me and helped me get started so I pretty much owe you all some pictures :pics: P. laueana P. cyclosecta Yucca Do 1713 P. esseriana in full bloom Same...

Hate to be that guy but the saying is exactly the opposite: "One bad apple spoils the bunch," which is true of apples :sorry: I'm pretty annoyed with the article and its misrepresentations. Our group is such a great bunch and it's really not warranted to insinuate that we're anything else.

That Phal. Gretchen has nice foliage...reminds me a bit of my schilleriana. Lovely Brassocatt or whatever it may be called.

I wouldn't have ibarrae without you raycer so thanks! The collection continues to growwwwww. jimscott nice pings there...what you got?

Wow you're right it's not doing that anymore! On the computer I could handle it ok but on the tablet it was quite a chore to read older messages sometimes. Nice!

Bumping an old thread to add my P. ehlersiae. I was hesitant to say it was crested because I've seen once with a jaumavensis where it appeared to be on the verge of cresting but instead just divided but now I'm pretty convinced. My plant used to look like this March 5th: Here it is May...

Oo that's interesting to find out...I have some debbertiana but they haven't flowered yet. Biggest one is somewhere between quarter and half dollar size at the moment.

Just a few recent pics: P. reticulata. I didn't realize the flowers open and close every day! P. ibarrae's first flower P. Yucca Do 1717. I like its neat form

Well I guess this would be a good spot to post these pictures. I got this U. asplundii x campbelliana a couple months back. It came with a couple leafy bits and the start of a bud. I was thinking maybe the bud would abort but just left it alone and now it is starting to open. This is my...

I didn't get pictures of every plant and sorry if I get any IDs wrong - just let me know so I can correct them. It was a fun time as always and somehow my streak of acquiring new Mexican Pinguicula at the meetups continues! Benurmanii's P. primuliflora 'Rose' Patrick's D. adelae 'Giant'...

100% turface works and I've been told aquatic planting medium (API Pondcare brand) can be good too if turface is a pain to get a hold of, though haven't tried myself. Ben's mix is very nice but requires more individual components so turface is great for lazy bums like me.

Fungus gnat larvae would be a pretty common type of wormy looking thing you might see especially if you are using a peaty medium.
