My plant collection in 2011

[lizasaur]

Oh wow, everything is just stunning

 

[Monkey]

Tulips are my absolute favorite flower, well done!

 

[Kyle]

I'll agree with monkey, those tulips are stunning. And the color on some of those pitchers is absolutely insane. Beautiful plants.

Nice.. still growing in those big white plastic boxes, or did you move everything to outside of them? Your moss looks too good to be growing just out in the sun out here.

 

[Zhilin]

Thank all of you. I'm glad that you like them

Hi, Zu, some of the plants are still in the big box I just put them out of the box for taking pictures. But mikei and ventricosa are growing under the full sun -- They are too big to put in any box. The dyeriana, the two ampullaria hybrid, the thorelii (d) hybrid, and the albomarginata are growing in my lowland terrarium. The moss grows quickly these days, and have covered all of my 3inch neps. Have you tried the big-box method?

Your neps look fantastic, especially like the jamban. How big is that pitcher?

Thank you. It's about 1.5inch cross. But it is not the biggest. The biggest (has not open) is about 2 inch cross. Jamban is one of my favorites, and has never stopped pitchering.

Nope, just have terrariums for the heliamphora though and they're loving it. The top is just metal mesh so it's not completely covered so they don't overheat. I've begun experimenting with growing the Nepenthes in trays lately though, so they don't dry out so much.

Here are some new pics taken recently.

N. x dyeriana

N. ampullaria (red) x N. sibuyanensis

N. glabrata

N. vogelii

N. hamata

My sarrs.

 

[Rokosauros]

Very nice! I'm thinking of getting the ampullaria x sibuyanensis after seeing yours

 

[mass]

Everything is still top notch, as usual.

 

[thez_yo]

Nice! My Nepenthes are just starting to look good after the winter but yours seems to look good all the time!

I strongly suggest you to grow this nep. It is so cute and has brilliant red color. You won't regret when you grow it.

Thanks, mass. It is a pity that I cannot grow more neps, due to limited growing space. Your GH really makes me envy.

Thanks, Zu. This is probably because I live more closer to the beach, while you live more inside the inland. But you have a wonderful collection. Actually you have a wonderful collection. The only thing you need for your neps is a GH, like mass's . I often image the scenario when I enter your GH someday

 

[Zhilin]

Some random pics.

N. vogelii. This one has been sold and will go away soon. It is still my favorite. But I have no room to grow it and I am in need of money.

N. xTM. More beautiful with age.

N. glabrata

 

[mass]

Gorgeous LFS.
I really wanted to buy that vogelii, but the sale was already pending.
So THAT'S what you look like! All this time I wondered.. eymae x jacq is working on a newer, larger pitcher by the way.
~whimper~ That's it!?!? MORE PICS PLEASE!!

 

[Zhilin]

Yeah, it's me. Now you know what I look like I'll try to take more pics. But it is not easy to take pics for most neps, because they are growing in a big box and each puts its tendrills to other pots. It is difficult to take a pot out of the "nep jungle". I'm glad the eymae x jacq works well in your GH. Mine are also becoming bigger and colorful. I have big hope on this hybrid. Since it's newly created, no body sees its mature shape. Let's wait and see

Took some pics today.

First, one of my favorites: N.jamban. It's newest pitcher has interesting peristome shape. Its peristome shape looks like the peristome of N.flava. You see?

Another favorite: N.jacq. Finally, it produces red pitchers. I once thought it produced green pitchers, and planed to buy a red one. Now I plan to buy a green one.

S. judith hindle:

N. maxima x truncate. This one will go to a new home.

N. glabrata

N. aristolochioides. This pitcher is full of fluid

Cephalotus 'typical'. Sorry for the blurry picture.

Some unknown plants:

The new basal shoot

S. leucophylla 'Hurricane Creek White'

 

[swords]

EP's N. thorelii (d) you lucky dog!

I've put feelers out with various vendors for it but so far no one has it.

 

[thez_yo]

Oh man, yeah you can't take a pic of thorellii and not show a closeup of the pitchers!
