NASC auction is OPEN!!

My plants!

I've been around the board for a little while now, but I haven't posted any pictures of my CPs to this point. I've mostly only kept temperate species, mostly Sarrs to this point, but I traded with another member here about a month ago and got some really cool Neotropical species. They're starting to show signs of growth, so I figured I'd post some pictures.

Just a small update...

Second pitcher for me on the Heli

It was looking like it wanted more light, so I added an LED spotlight above it to hopefully color it up.

Growth progression on the Utrics

U. asplundii

It's put out 2 or 3 leaves since the last update.

U. alpina

Tons of new leaves! I think I counted close to 15.
 
Utric update! I got these a few weeks ago, and they've begun to explode with growth. Most of the new growths have started in the last two weeks.

U. endressii...I count three new growths

U. reniformis with at least six forming

I made some changes to my bog, and I now have my temperate plants in a replica sugar kettle. The pictures look more like I'm growing in a pond, but it's only because we've gotten something close to 6" of rain this week. I'm going the natural route with this, so I'm allowing pine savanna species who volunteer themselves to stay and also spreading seeds of various native forbs to replicate a savanna as best as possible.




S. purpurea that I saved from a plastic cube



S. purpurea ssp. venosa var. burkii



Unknown Cyperaceae



S. psittacina



S. flava
