CPBobby's ongoing lowland nepenthes photo thread

[cpbobby]

First let me say that I am no photographer so pics will be amateur. I have my lowland terrarium dialed in for the most part thanks to the advice from some very knowledgeable(and patient. lol) growers on here. Also there will probably be lowland/intermediate hybrids in here as well.

So without further adieu:

Entry 1:

x Winged grabilis(gracilis x mirabilis)

Original photo taken in early sep.

more recent photo about a couple weeks ago.

notes: not eye candy but funny looking enough to still get my attention. It may get more colorful when I add more reds to my lighting though. Plus this particular hybrid breed will be essential down the road when I begin to experiment with making my own hybrids. The grabilis hybrids seems to be the most vigorous lowlander I have encountered to date.

Original photo taken in early sep.

notes: it has gotten darker and like the contrast on the ladders or whatever they are called.

Good choice....It is working on a new pitcher which going from past experiences will be bigger than the rest of them and once that happens I will update.
