Brokken's Greenhouse

[Adam]

Your plants are... amazing

 

[lizasaur]

Oh, I love those shots of the main view...everything comes together so beautifully

 

[Brokken]

The heat seems to have edged a good number of pitchers to open:

Black Knight (ventricosa x ramispina):
▼

Fusca (Sarawak):
▼

Izumiae x 'Trusmadiensis' (this is the one that takes more after N. izumiae):
▼

Izumiae x 'Trusmadiensis' (IMHO, this is the better clone - which takes after TM):
▼

Lady Pauline (maxima x talangensis):
▼

Sabre (ventricosa x 'Trusmadiensis'):
▼

Spectabilis x truncata (Sam Estes):
▼

'Trusmadiensis' (Clone 2):
▼

Unknown (if you know what it is, chime in):
▼

Veitchii K (striped veitchii):
▼

Ventricosa x angasanensis (I like the contrast of outside vs. inside. Notice the reticulation inside):
▼

Ventricosa (Porcelain):
▼

(veitchii x lowii) x spectabilis (Yellow plant):
▼

Your plants are most remarkable!
Vent. porcelain and the fuscia sarawak are some beauties

Thanks for sharing!

2 Questions..

1: I absolutely LOVE the moss growth on your terracotta. Does it grow on the pots, or is it growing through the pot?
2: Aren't veitchii K and veitchii 'Candy Striped' two different variations?

very nice to know that your ventricosa's doing alright! mine tends to abort pitcher production when its too warm.

i also prefer the 2nd izumae x TM as well.

very nice plants Brokken! thanks for sharing!

Hi Mass,

The first thing to colonize the outside of the pots is slime mold. After about 6 months of this and provided it gets enough light, moss will begin to grow. It only grows outside the pots.

Veitchii K and Candy Stripe are different? Could be. I thought they were the same, but I'm probably wrong.

Amph,

Mine will most likely abort those pitchers that are still budding in this weather. It definitely likes it cooler. As a matter-of-fact, the lack of peristome development is most likely the result of hot weather.

Nerd: Fusca is a recent acquisition that never missed a beat. From the time I got it earlier (March) None of the pitchers aborted and it's put out three of them under my care. Definitely a strong plant.

C12: Thank you!

I tend to lean more toward sarrs but those are totally stunning! Impressive.... most impressive.

 

[Exo]

Those neps are awesome...but that one clone of Izumiae x 'Trusmadiensis' really takes the cake!

 

[lizasaur]

I love your greenhouse and plants so, so very much!

Lady Pauline (I don't know why more people don't make crosses with this wonderful plant):
▼

Fusca (Really like this plant and it seems to really appreciate hotter weather):
▼

Truncata x spectabilis (EP's hybrid - superior IMHO to Leilani's 'Spectabilis x truncata'):
▼

Lowii x campanulata (I've seen darker and more vigorous, but oh well...):
▼

Aristolochioides x spectabilis (these are small basals around my main grow point):
▼
