Good luck!!

-->I reserve the right to drool over campanulata species and hybrid pics. Also, I will NOT be entering any plant for serious consideration in this competition for placement. If I do, please smack-talk me

Hard to take pictures of this plant cuz it's at the very edge of the windowsill behind the desk. All these shots had to be taken by guessing since I couldn't actually see through the camera

So bloated aristos and huge white burbidgeae pitchers don't seem to please you people, so here is something you can sink your teeth into.....

Seedgrown N.hamata

The rules for this was put up for discussion and vote, it was deemed no changes needed... So here is the contest with the rules as they are, if you don't like them don't participate. It's that easy. I will prune and edit this topic down to what it's supposed to be... *sigh*
Andrew

ps
I don't recall anything about you can't put the same plant in every month... as long as it doesn't win or whatever, right? So, fah-get-'bout it.... It's within the rules so there it is.
