Lots of random carnivores...

[Peatmoss]

What setting do you keep your F stop at normally? For most of the photos it was at 5 but for the N. veitchii it was at 14. I tried to go higher but it was being difficult.

More pictures!

Focus on these pics is not perfect, but I took them in the dark.

Two pots of U. longifolia, the moss in these pots is crazy:

D. intermedia "Cuba", flowering:

U. reneformis, bigger and bigger leaves:

D. venusta:

Beautiful plants, oh and I think there will be a few dews in my terrarium!

 

[Peatmoss]

Great! They are very easy to grow if you have good lighting, a lot easier than Nepenthes.

 

[Peatmoss]

More... Horticultural... Monstrosities...

D. venusta:

D. slackii, are getting larger:

D. tokaiensis:

D. nidiformis:

D. capillaris "long arm, belem":

D. adelae:

D. rotundifolia is popping out of Sphagnum everywhere:

D. paradoxa:

D. indica seedlings are germinating like crazy:

D. burmanii:

P. emarginata x esserania:

D. schizandra is making notched leaves:

U. reniformis is making more big leaves:

D. ordensis:

Good afternoon,

N. rafflesiana var. alata:

P. primuliflora:

The "D. indica" seedlings are actually P. lusitanica, must have mixed up the pots:

D. intermedia "cuba":

G. aurea "Itacaramba", its sooo slimy!:

U. pubescens "Serra Caraca", one of my favorite utrics:

Thanks for looking!

 

[amphirion]

everything is looking great! keep up the good work!

 

[RL7836]

WOW. I had to scroll back up to remind myself who the grower of such a beautiful spread was. Very nice.

I agree!

You might need some more practice with that camera.

Unless this comment was meant to be humorous, I take significant exception. While PM may not have years of experience snapping pics (as he readily admits), many of his shots show a fresh perspective & a willingness to experiment with unorthodox viewpoints which result in some impressive pics.

This Ceph pic is but one example of many that he has shared.

 

[punpkinface]

Great pics all around. How's that Stylidium Adnatum looking?

 

[corky]

how did i miss this,love the photo's and plants

 

[Wire Man]

I'm impressed with the diversity of your collection! You've really stepped up to the plate.
I think Peat is pretty good with a camera. His in situ purp photos beat my S. flavas in a contest in the Conservation Station sub-forum.

 

[Peatmoss]

Thanks!

Pumpkinface, its looking fine, almost killed it the other day but it came back. It has gotten a lot larger and is starting to do the scrambling thing. I am waiting for it to flower.

RL, its funny that you would select that photo as it is actually one of my least favorites I have posted thus far. I have been planning on retaking it but have not had the chance yet.

Wireman, I find its best to try growing as many genera as possible before I make a decision as per my favorite, so far I am heavily skewed towards Drosera but I tend to like them all.

 

[Wire Man]

That's my philosophy, too. I don't have a favorite so far since they're all so different. Your Drosera are looking very, very nice.

 

[punpkinface]

I'm in the same boat with S. graminifolium. It outgrew three pot sizes in one season. Hopefully I'll see some flowers in spring or summer.

PC died and so I am a mac user now, so these are edited on iPhoto. Still learning the program so they look a bit weird.

Alas, any tips from iPhoto users would be appreciated!

U. reniformis bladder:

Schizzy:

Some ping hybrid, can't remember what:

D. pygmaea "green" from gemmae:

Itty bitty ceph:

S. adnatum update:

D. madagascarensis coming back from the roots:

D. capensis "red", this one turned out kind of odd:

Sarracenia minor:

D. binata multifida extrema:

I retook the Ceph photo:

Thanks for looking!

 

[mikefallen13]

Beautiful pictures!

 

[amphirion]

your dew shots are drool worthy!
shizzy was nice, but the capensis and binata macros are wicked!

 

[Brie]

great photos!

 

[jack]

Great Pics! You seem to be growing your U. reni very wet. I'm trying to figure out mine so could you tell me a little bit about your plant? Type, growing medium, how long have you had it? Thank you very much, Jack

 

[Peatmoss]

Thanks all!

I got the reniformis back in November (I think), and I am growing it in a bath of live sphagnum that supports the stems and keeps it from sinking. In Barry Rice's book, it is described as a "Sphagnum slurry" and that is where I got the idea. It really is growing in water with just a little bit of Sphagnum floating around. And it does grow very well, it develops a new leaf every few weeks.
