More like a whole lot jealous. Yeesh, nice plants.I'm a little jealous.
I hope they grow up to be beasts!
Aww! You've got some of my favorites there 
My lowii looks just like yours...but I hope yours grows faster than mine does. Be sure to keep us updated with the progress of these little cuties!

Why thank you all! I'm very happy with these cuties and know they'll grow up nicely!

Current notes:
-Squirrels dug up my VFT minibog AGAIN. This is the second time in less than a week, but this time, they were nice enough to dig around my VFTs, and just bury them >.< Chicken wire is going up TODAY.
-Definitely need atleast screening or plastic to cover the tables. You see that? Ick. That's not good for the water, either, I'm sure.
-The greenhouse got moved. Total pain in the butt since I had just gotten it rearranged and watered when Dad was like "We need to move this eyesore." But it's done. Everything fits in there nicely. Don't be fooled by the space on the top shelf- I can't put anything there cause the heat-light will burn the heck out of anything placed under it.
-HL Chamber expansion happened!! Haha, I'm a genius, yo! It was so cramped in there, but then I got the idea to lay a flat box down on the bottom, to extend the space- just cover it with plastic and put the lighter stuff on the edge and voila. Woohoo! It's still a pretty tight fit but everything is in there now. I'll be adding two CFLs and two more T8s to it soon And once I do I'll be constructing a bigger grow..box..thing...out of styrofoam and thick plastic
-I think bical is finally wanting to pitcher for me again. It looks hopeful. Oh joy
<3
But yeah. This is all the progress I've made.

It must have taken a huge beating during shipping.

@Dex: Don't be so hard! It's actually doing very well! It lost a leaf or two after shipping, and yesterday I just clipped one because it got burnt to hell from the heat light, but it's put out two inch-long leaves (as if to say "GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME NOW AND WHY?" 
) but now the growth point is growing steadily and looks like it'll resume making proper leaves It just needs to finish acclimating and it'll do great, I'm sure! Thank you

Okay good! That does sound promising. If you feel like misting it a little extra I'm sure it would appreciate it. I can't wait to see you get some fatty pitchers.

Awaken! Awaken!
So I have terrible mashup of Godzilla Theme Song music and Dethklok's "Awaken" going through my head anytime I walk outside, but I figured it's time to bring this thread back to life too!
The batteries were dying so I just ran around getting quick pictures of the most notable stuffs. I didn't even get to show off my adorable H. nutans which has new pitchers that are a pretty yellow orange!
Random oreophila cross inflating
Right side of the hybrids table has the most waking up
N. khasiana has gorgeous color now
N. mirabilis is now tall and pretty, too! If only it'd pitcher again..
N. rafflesiana "giant" is growing good and getting pretty AND inflating a pitcher! woohoo!!
Royal Truncata
N. ventricosa "Black Peristome" is kind of drooly and growing super good
N. burbidgeae made its first pitcher with me!
N. truncata 'Paisan' just made its first pitcher with me, too! It's SO BIG
(to me, anyway, lol)
Cephalotus 'Hummers Giant' from Zu is doing pretty good, I think. Needs more light, I know.
N. mikei inflating it's first pitcher with me...well, technically it already was when I got it earlier this week, but it's not aborting it and has a new one starting up
N. konak FINALLY popped it's first pitcher, too! You can see the faintest trace of white-rim under the peristome- can't wait for this baby's next one with more light added!
That's all the preview ya'll get for now
Thanks for looking!
