cp777's plants

[Not a Number]

Gotta love springtime. And birds keep messing up my VFT bowl. In the spring they go after the moss in the pot. Other times they want to bury peanuts that people feed them. And then the crows want to dig up those peanuts. Bamboo skewers with the pointy ends out keep the crows away. I removed all the sphagnum moss so no temptations there. I covered the pot with screening for awhile to keep the smaller peanut planters out.

Nice Drosophyllum Do you grow it outdoors? And congrats on the flower spike.

Yep, It is nice. I grow it outside.

Ahhh, Stephen, how I envy you the fact that you are just heading into spring while we are well into our rainy season here. For the next five months, we won't see the sun but once every seven to ten days!
Your plants look very happy, kudos!

S. 'Evedine'? flower

U. bisquamata

interesting variation

More coming soon.

 

[hcarlton]

Jeez, all I have is a white bisquamata. I need those purple forms!

 

[jht-union]

The D. lusitanicum looks fantastic! what is your mixture? I haven't attempted growing drosophyllum lusitanicum and it seems like a nice addition to have in cultivation.
That U. bisquamata with purple and yellow is beautiful, where did you get it from? I would love to get seeds of this variety if you have any. I have the white form, the most common one that you can barely see the flower. I can tell this variety has much larger flowers.

Nice photos!

Sorry I am in Australia so I can't send u any seed, otherwise i would.:-( It is a weed in my collection - that pot of flowers is supposed to be some D. filiformis “all red” seedlings! See a flower spike in this pic...

I will dig that compost mix out of the bottom of a pile of paper and post it here as soon as I find it.

 

[cp777]

Here is the mix:

gravel,sand potting mix ( with no hydrating granyles), orchid bark and peat moss in equal parts.

It is worth mentioning that I have heard from some people on here that mixes with peat are not the best so have a look around for some others and find the best for you.

 

[cp777]

Grerat pics, loving the color on the sanguinea (though with it having a noticeable pattern, it makes me wonder if it might not be one of those common sang x ramispina hybrids?).
