*pics* new Flava x Oreo, this thing is a monster!

Brie

Sarracenia freak
Picked this guy up from a local nursery at a garden/art fair today... It is GINORMOUS, although I just read they get alot bigger... Since I went to the fair on the last day, she was out of most everything I was looking for, so I dropped most of what I had on this one monster plant with 4 rhizomes. Its crazy how different it is from its flava parent... Its about the same hieght as my pure flava, but this thing's pitchers are so much bigger, and with alot more rigid support veins in it. Beefy arse pitchers.

That plant is AMAZING!
I have an oreophila clone that I think is big, but I want to see this one in person!
 
Very nice! Looks like you have some beautiful country there as well.

I live in the top floor of an apt building. ;) But it is a nice area, right on Lake Washington(very large body of water her in Western Wa.)... You're just seeing the big pine tree and shades my patio.
 
Nice plant, Brie. I have some 'Doreens Colossus' as well. One of Jerry's many impressive offerings.... Enjoy! There is an image of them in the Sarracenia picture thread I posted a few days ago, about the 8th images down.
 
find any morel mushrooms out there?

I haven't, no.. But my coworker just did last weekend.. She works at a salmon hatchery east of the mountains a bit.. I guess she went out into the woods a bit while on break, sat down to make a phone call, looked over to her left and boom. A huge morel growing right by the log. lol. Prompted her to look around more and she ended up finding 3-4 huge ones. Took em back to the hatchery with her and showed em to one of her coworkers and he said "Damn, I missed some!". lol. Apparently he had picked a whole cooler full on the property a few days before... Must be nice working out there. :P

Cool dude i'll go check it out. :)
 
I have a huge oreaphila by flava clone as well and it is going to be even bigger. I also crossed my giant leauco with my oreo and i have seedlings coming up. i can't wait to see what this monster is going to look like as the leauco parent is very red veined. All I can tell you is that the seedlings just came up this past spring and already they are big.
