Finally spent some quality time with the plants today. Some more quick pics:


One of my favorite neps at the moment, N. x ventrata!

Anyone know what could be wrong with my N. ventricosa? It's never been much of a good grower, but I attribute that to the five or six basals growing out of it.

Seeing the alata tendril on N. rafflesiana alata x squat. Don't mind the fog.

Nice red pitcher forming on N. lowii x campanulata, the first in my care.

My N. ampullaria 'Lime Twist' is starting to put out deformed leaves. It has two nice basals, so I think it too is being drained of energy. That and roots are coming out of the bottom of the pot...

My Pinguicula emarginata x jaumavensis threw out its first flower.

The plant doesn't look too shabby either:

D. oblanceolata:

D. prolifera. Check out all the babies!

My largest D. burmannii from Humpty-Doo, Australia crashed. I have no idea why. One remains.

Another of my favorite sundews. A D. multifida 'extrema' cutting:

Here's the coffee-flavored burmannii. After not feeding it for a few weeks, the plant's glands have turned red and the leaves have shifted to a light pink. Seeds soon!

Ultra-cropped pic that actually turned out pretty well. Makes me wish I had a DSLR for real macro.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks guys!

@Pebes: Hmm. It's on a windowsill with only a few hours of direct sun a day. Other neps next to it look fine, including the ventrata. I'll move it away from the window a little, thanks for the advice.
 
Thanks man. It's the only burmannii I've raised successfully enough to flower, as exhibited by that crispy Humpty-Doo. Really miffed I didn't get seeds before it died.
 
Tis ok, those things need CONSTANT feeding...matter of fact, it's really hard to feed them enough, I often end up succeeding with them only outside where they catch their own prey.
 
@Aiden: The red burmannii? Looked like this in its prime:

Awesome plants, Drew. As I've said before, that burmanii is particularly nice.

Thanks! I look forward to trying to TC it. The flowerstalk is looking good, so I should have enough seeds to try a second generation before spreading it around.
 
'Sorry to hear about the loss of the "Humpty-Doo". That, too, was a beautiful plant.

Even after the color change I still like the "coffee". 'Glad to hear you may soon be getting seeds. When my D. burmannii have started producing them they put them out in quantity.
 
Lowii x campy popped this morning:
