(sing with the old spice jingle)

my project ping rock is kind of coming along (too many pots, decided to put them all on a rock to save room)... moss needs to grow everywhere so the loose sand and peat doesnt fall off, but otherwise i guess everything is doing alright. wanted to share some pics with y'all...

cyclosecta is an alright looking plant to have i guess...

the naughty bits....

everything looking horrible.

weiser, rotundiflora, jaumavensis, and esseriana. cyclosecta and colimensis in the back.

aganata 'true blue' in the front

that's all for now folks!

Those look great! Nice job on the rock. I think that i need to make some room in my terrarium for some Pings, especially P. cyclosecta.

 

[mylesG]

yep, those sure are some mediocre pings

thanks for sharing, i guess?

You're welcome.... I guess.

@drew: thanks very much! looking forward to filling it out! still need to add a few more pings in there. i plan to add a laueana in the mix. i lost mine last year...

 

[mylesG]

must be doing something right!

Your too modest! The plants look very well off, and they look awesome in their little community too! I'm a little jealous I guess I should start paying more attention to my pings!

thanks very much richjam! i was being a tad facetious, but yeah---gotta love my pings! especially since i've neglected them for a while actually. my confession.

 

[East_to_west]

Awesome! Looks great! I've been doing something similar but I had to switch a few too another rock setup because the initial one grew too crowded too fast.. Lol they're vigorous buggers fosho!

 

[corky]

now that is a great looking display ,love it

 

[amphirion]

@east: sounds great! im looking forward to my overcrowded issues!
@corky: thanks very much! appreciate it.

 

[Maiden]

Wow ! Tu as de beaux pings, félicitation!

 

[Plant Planter]

Everything looking horrible? You clearly don't know what a horrible Pinguicula looks like.

 

[amphirion]

@maiden: merci beaucoup! pinguicula, c'est masculine? quels plantes carnivores sont masculine ou feminin?

Everything looking horrible? You clearly don't know what a horrible Pinguicula looks like.

oh dont worry, yes i do--i've killed a good amount of pings before getting the skill down, and i still have occasional mortalities. originally i was being emo sarcastic but i guess that doesnt translate well on the internet. thank you!

 

[Wire Man]

What kind of rock is that?

 

[Maiden]

Amphirion: le nom pinguicula c'est masculin, c'est un pinguicula mais les plantes sont féminines, c'est une plante. Tu parles bien français !

(Sorry guys lol)

 

[amphirion]

What kind of rock is that?

just your run of the mill lace rock that you find for saltwater/cichlid setups.

 

[lil hokie]

I love the pings and the photos...but your photo taking ability makes me dislike you....out of jealousy and envy.

 

[Wire Man]

Somehow I understood all of the French, and I never studied it. I think I have some lace rock lying around somewhere. New project!

If it makes you feel better, I manipulate the color balance and brightness/contrast values of almost all my photos in photoshop. But that usually is the extent of the manipulation.
