havent posted pics in awhile

June is usually my busiest month, havent been home for a weekend yet in the last 4.....so other than checking to make sure things are watered i have completely ignored them.....

N. densiflora x truncata 'King of Clubs'......the flash brightened it up, actually fairly dark under normal light

N. eymae x veitchii

N. thorelii x aristo i believe

N.x 'Peter D'Amato'......a newly opened pitcher with an older more colored up one behind it...

the N. lowii took a big leap in the last 30 days, those two large leaves werent there in May...

N. flava

N. burbidgeae

N. izumae x xTrusmadiensis

Great pics! I really like the N.flava. What kind of grow setup do you have?

 

[rattler]

the kind you would expect from a backwater ed-jew-mah-kated hillbilly......lots of plastic drop cloths and duct tape

basically i built a 7x7x7 greenhouse in my basement and placed shelves and a dozen 4 foot T8 fixtures in it and then ignore the plants and just let them grow.....

 

[trashcan]

Is your basement naturally cool because of the climate you live in? Because your highland plants seems to be doing great.

 

[rattler]

mid 80's during the day cause the lights.....low 60's nights in fall/winter/spring.....high 60's nights during the summer.....summer is my biggest issue cause we can hit 110.....winter cooling is easy.....nightly lows of -40 in Dec/Jan/Feb is common....-60 isnt that rare....

 

[trashcan]

Wow. Thanks for the info.

That lowii isn't one of those worthless tissue culture clones, is it? Nice growth on it.

 

[rattler]

why yes it is out of a US TC lab no less..............

 

[amphirion]

that thorelii x aristo cross looks very nice. it managed to maintain aristo characteristics.

 

[rattler]

its pretty much a weed aswell......much easier to grow than pure aristo

 

[srduggins]

Lookin' good! I've always loved that eymae x veitchii

 

[natevincent]

Ya great plants Rattler! Been a while since ive seen pics from yuh. lol

 

[nightsky]

The eymae x veitchii is my favorite as well. Looking good.

 

[Capslock]

Great stuff, rattler! Keep ignoring your plants, it's working!

 

[rattler]

still dont think i have half the greenthumb you do Max......your setup would even make my wife happy from the pics i have seen.....every time i bring my wife into the greenhouse to show here an orchid thats blooming i get scolded for the mess......looks like a tornado hit it on a good day.....

 

[srduggins]

Does it look anything like this?

 

[rattler]

much, much worse

 

[Chris_Himself]

That is an interesting potting arrangement for an N. Lowii

 

[aaddaam]

Very nice plant pics as usual. Do you have any pics of your veitchii?
Thanks
Adam

Nice plants rattler!

Srduggins,
If my grow area looked anything like that, I wouldn't care what the wife said! I would gladly setup a cot next to them. LOL.
