Pic of the Day

@mass that one is much less painful

eh'.. I think they both suck. Not too sure why I even saved the pics.

Since nobody looks at my GH thread anymore I'll just stick these here.

You talkin' bout me, or the Nepenthes in the photo?
The photo depicts one of two clones of N. spathulata x boschiana I have; a new pitcher just opened a couple days ago. This one is a rooted cutting I got from Jeremiah. In strong light (of which there is little these days) the peristome turns deep solid red. Pitchers have a very "boxy" (square) quality to them that I like a lot. It always throws a nice curlicue in the tendril as well

Dude!

Can't help it. I'm jealous of the beard. Maybe 20 years from now mine will be that long.. Then again I shave mine every spring when the snow melts.

I still like your GH thread, Mass. That albomarginata is awesome!

Wish I got the same comments there that I get here. I can't breath without everyone's comments. Tis' my life force..

Mass,
Cool ant pics & gotta love the clarity on the Ceph hairs.

my second, "will not open till christmas" present.
U. jamesoniana

Should make for an interesting Christmas (or near Christmas) present. Practice your deep depth-of-field macros (or stacking) so you can get some great detail in those flower pics (Congratulations on the imminent blooms btw)

Mass, your albo is gorgeous. What type is that?

N. albomarginata 'Kuching Spotted' still needing to darken up a bit.

Is the ant by chance Ochetellus glaber?

I wish I could grow the lowlanders, like albomarginata, but I'm unwilling to set up a separate grow space for em. Ah well, I'll stick with the highlanders and intermediates.

Here's an alternative "derriere" shot of the spathulata x boschiana I posted earlier.

Keep 'em coming!

No clue buddy..

Paul, I grow mine in with my HL'ers. Seem to be doing just fine as long as I give them a little extra light.
