Since my growing skills have improved greatly over the past year, I figured it was time for me to start a picture thread. My photography skills are... lacking, so this will just be for fun.

I kept thinking to myself... whoa... nice... nice...NICE! and oh.. my hamata x platychila just did the same thing with the lid :down:

Very nice plants!
 
Looks great, Fox!
 
Sarracenia 'Scarlet Belle' has to be one of my favorite Sarracenia hybrids. Yours looks great!
 
Gorgeous!

Everything looks so happy. All my sarrs look like poop.
 
A few weeks ago, I decided to try growing my Nepenthes outside, since the temperatures were staying below 80F in the day and above 40F at night. This resulted in severe sunburn and a scale infestation, and I don't think I will be trying that again for a long time. My plants are back inside, under grow lights, and recovering at a fast pace. FYI, tri-weekly Neem applications and repotting got rid of the scale, and my plants do not seem to have suffered from the frequent treatments.
Thanks to TheFury for this gorgeous baby S. oreophila

Nepenthes burkei is one plant that really adores my conditions. This is a young plant, and unfortunately I ripped the pitcher open with my finger right after taking this photograph *shrug*

Here's a few from my visit to the Huntsville Botanical Gardens:
Some Sarracenia leucophylla

Not sure what hybrid this is, but it seems to have some purpurea heritage

The unidentified one looks like either S. alata or jonesii. My guess is S. alata.

The green plant is almost certainly an alata variety. Nice work on the N. burkei too!
