And I know they are not Neps but it is still kind of cool. They are having a bloom of some freshwater jellyfish in one of the outdoor ponds. (Sorry for the crappy quality, it is hard to photo through water)

Those aren't "just some pics"! Those are great pics! :boogie: Wow, look at the jellyfish! Thanks for sharing Pyro :-D
 
Freshwater jellyfish are pretty common from my understanding. I know they're native to Arkansas. There's a lake about 45 minutes or so from where I live that a lot of the diving schools use for open water dives and the jellyfish are usually seen there.
 
I also find those jellies in ponds here in CA that have a recent bloom of algae. A marine biologist at The Monterey Bay Aquarium told me that these jellies spend most of their lives as larvae and only emerge in the adult stage when food is abundant...which also triggers breeding cycles. He also said that some of the larvae can take 10 to 13 years to reach the mature stage.
 
That N. muluensis X lowii is fantastically macabre. I much prefer it over either parent on it's own!
 
Nice pics Pyro! Hope the two Rons are still there and in fine fettle! ABG is a lovely garden, run in the true spirit by people who care a lot about their plants and biodiversity in general.
 
wait...which is muluensis x lowii???

Was wondering that myself LOL

The first pic is, obviously, lowii

The next 3 are a different lowii, lowers pitchers.

After that is a lowii x ventri

And I forget the last one. I want to say singulana but a part of me is saying I am recalling wrong.

@ Rob: The Rons are indeed still there and in great form. As you say, ABG is a great place, I am there at least twice a month, usually more often. As is evident by my 4 year old daughter refering to it as her gardens LOL
 
Beautiful pics thanks for sharing~
Bolinas, marshall, and inverness california have thousands of jelly fish that wash up on the bay shores all together at the same time ~ I can't remember what time of year this happens but its a trip. couldn't take a step with out SQUISHY SQUISH the FISHY FISH
