A couple pictures

[Lil Stinkpot]

be careful what you wish for. There are other variegateds, but most are insanely expensive. This one isn't, thank goodness. I got it for about $18.

More pictures, as promised.

Here are some new Nepenthes I got yesterday.

Never thought I'd say I like N. ventricosa.

N. veitchiii from the Hose Mountains:

N. hamata x platychila:

It's marked as N. gracillima, but we all agreed that they're most likely a mini N. alba. The uppers will tell!

N. jaquilinae:

N. mikeii:

I also got a VFT, 'G 14 rosetted':

Here are a couple favorites from the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers:

The leaves say it's a Begonia of some sort. Cool fruits!

 

[Cthulhu138]

Cannibalistic truncata ?

 

[Lil Stinkpot]

Heh heh heh! I asked about that. They said they left it there because it was just too funny to move.

 

[Wire Man]

That's an impressive truncata! You got some nice Neps.

 

[Lil Stinkpot]

That truncata isn't mine. Wish I did have one like it, though, and the room for it.

 

[Wire Man]

I know, I saw the facebook photo they posted of it. I need to visit that place next time I'm on the West Coast.

 

[Sundrew]

Dat raff...

 

[BioZest]

Wow...I have never seen this in neps before...they just get so hungry, but they have to eat...

 

[lil hokie]

I want the flytrap!

 

[Lil Stinkpot]

Get in line.

Seriously, I'd ask Andrew, first, and see if he can order one. If not, PM me for where I got it, but I get you can make a pretty dang good guess already.

Hmmm.... I DO wonder what kind I'd flytraps Andrew can wrangle up.

Here are a couple more update pictures, by popular demand:


N. albomarginata

Dunno why my cobra decided to do this. I'm stoked it decided to bloom, but I was hoping for some seeds. Bummer.

Mystery Sarr hybrid. Or purp. self?

S. psittacina antho. free

G-14, looking god

S. courtii from Lois

U. foliosa

S. "Daina's Delight" holdover from last season, looking goofy.

 

[Cthulhu138]

That is the frilliest DD I've ever seen. Great plants Katie. Good job.

 

[corky]

G14 looks like its gonna be pretty sweet,

 

[Lil Stinkpot]

During the move I found an old friend. I'm spoiled with my digital; I need to buy a macro lens for this old gal. I have all these long lenses, but nothing shorter than that little 35mm seen here. This camera is as old as I am!

Time to get saving! I used up some old film in it, and I was getting frustrated that I could only get a good focus 8" and further away. Grrrr!

 

[BioZest]

Nice! I love the retro feel.

 

[Lil Stinkpot]

I do too. I liked how my hands remembered what to do. Lemme see if I can still find film.
