Eye Candy from Zath's Collection

[Zath]

Decided to start a new pic thread since it's been awhile since I updated pics here (although regulars in chat will have probably seen most of them at one point or another).

Guess we'll start with the indoor stuff:

Half of the large terrarium, full of Sarr seedlings from seed sown last year:

The other half, full of Darlingtonia and some other things:

My measly Ping collection, such as it is. Counter-clockwise from left; P. esseriana, NoID, P. moctezumae

N. ventricosa

N. ventricosa x spectabilis

N. 'Red Leopard'

D. multifida 'extrema'

D. filiformis "Florida Red"

And I think that will do for this first post.

Everything looks great

Those are beautiful plants, indeed. Very well-grown!

And I may have said this before: even more than the plants, though, I like your VIEW! Holy CRAP!

Haha, yeah the view is nice. Pretty much the only thing this place has going for it.

Since it turned into a nice day, figured I'd take a few pics outdoors while I groomed the Sarrs.

S. 'Tarnok'

S. 'Damien's Red Mystery'

S. leucophylla 'Purple Lips'

S. moorei (Santa Rosa Co.)

Peekaboo!

Beautiful collection! All that lush Sphagnum makes me drool... the vascular plants are pretty cool, too.

Where in Virginia are you? I grew up in Blacksburg and really miss living among mountains.

South-Central VA, about an hour south of Roanoke, just across the NC border.

Definitely some beautiful plants, I can't wait to see the rest of them!

Not what most would consider photograph worthy, but I like the stuff:

U. bisquamata:

Some VFT seedlings, about 3-4 weeks old:

A nice shot of a U. sandersonii flower:

P. esseriana:

Very nice plants Zath

 

[NemJones]

The clump of sandersonii is absolutely incredible.

Beautiful. I'm just starting to expand past VFT's so much of this is new. Are Utricularia grown mostly for their flowers? There's an aquatic plant store right by my house that sells a few varieties.

That is correct. They tend to be quite small though.

Can hardly believe my last update was in October of last year! It's not due to laziness, I swear! XD I guess I just don't feel like sharing every pic I take.

But now, all the outdoor plants are starting to come alive, and thus, 'tis the season of photos:

These Sarrs want very badly to be Nepenthes, apparently.
