One question I ask myself is... why did I name this thread Lime's Carnivorous Adventures of Pie? 2010 me... why?

This is a summary of 2012 by Nepenthes bicalcarata

What's the shy "no not bical" one?

 

[BioZest]

Nice Bical!

 

[limeslide]

Thanks BioZest!

Mass, its is a female Nepenthes "thorellii" (i am aware spelling may be incorrect but that is how i received it)

 

[Exo]

Very Nice!.. still jealous of that bical.

 

[limeslide]

Thanks Exo!




... still jealous of that glabrata.

The birds are loving their flight cage! The birds fly freely from side to side. Apollo and Plum are confident and have no problems making it back and forth, but Kiwi, who was subjected to crowded conditions and no space before I purchased her, still has some trouble. She decides she wants to go to the other side of the cage but changes her mind and flutters back. She can make it across however, and she is becoming more confident as the day passes.
I took some pictures!


Here you can see the cage whole! The floor is newspaper, but right after taking pictures it was replaced with sand.

I moved the entirety of the cage into the sun to take pictures, the finches immediately started sunbathing.

Plum has never been observed sunbathing, she was raised indoors in controlled conditions her entire life.

It is very entertaining to watch her.

Wilkerson's White Night went in a fit and opened prematurely

I don't think that's 'White Knight'. 'White Knight' is antho-free, and the thorelii is actually N. kampotiana. The joys of taxonomy...

Whoops... I meant "Wilkerson's White Night".
I will continue labeling the Nepenthes as Nepenthes "thorelli", at least for now. Note the quotation marks.

 

[limeslide]

[amphirion]

nice Lime! none of my sarrs are ready with their pitchers yet. your looks like a moorei.

 

[thez_yo]

Yeah photobucket decided to re-design so it's completely useless now. Somehow they decided to make it so you can't search your own album or something...


Anyway, your plants look great I think I agree with amph it may be a moorei of some sort... or something..

 

[mato]

Great plants, young Tejas.

 

[limeslide]

Thanks everyone
The ?? was just a comment on the picture.
The plant is Sarracenia flava x leucophylla “White Knight”, however this title is confusing.... I have emailed the person I have received it from, hopefully will receive help with the "real" label of the plant.

On the subject of the Nepenthes "thorelii" actually being Nepenthes kampotiana... can you help me get a definitive answer?
Here are various pictures of the plant.

[limeslide]

Recent conversations with the sender of the plant have come up with the conclusion that it was not 'White Night' but Sarracenia "Wilkerson's White Knight"

sorry

 

[Wire Man]

That's definitely kampotiana. N. thorelii has much rounder lower pitchers and infundibular uppers. The peristome in nearly flat on the uppers, like ventricosa. N. thorelii also has a huge inflorescence, longer then truncata. It's still a nice plant, and becoming increasingly rare in the wild, unfortunately.

Ohhh, I'm liking that mirabilis, it really grew up to be pretty and elegant.
