TheZ_Yo's Balcony

Carn: I'm sure it was my fault.

Dex: hmm... actually, I think I might have had it for 2ish years now? It doesn't start out as much but man-alive they get nice fast once they have that truncata-ish growth-spurt! Must be like your spectalangensis

 

[corky]

great to see the densiflora koc with such great pitchers,i got one not knowing what it would look like,and it looks damn fine to me

 

[thez_yo]

I think I'll label these in a little bit - just want to get the pics up first

N.mikei pitchers hanging out - the plant dropped most of them on repot but is perking back up and the basal is going strong too

Nestled in the N.ovata pot, a N.campanulata x (spectabilis x talangensis) pitcher inflating

N.hamata x platychila

mostly-crappy Cephalotus

more crappy looking Ceph pots

N.platychila tendrils

Two shots of a N.ventricosa x x trusmadiensis (B) pitcher that just opened up - different light levels yet it's still awesome no matter what

some unidentified pygmies - I have stakes in there but I can't be bothered to try to figure it out

These tall ones are D.lasiantha

U.bisquamata taking over a minibog yay for holding the peat down!

S.xJudith Hindle! My first opened pitcher for the year!

N.veitchii K - this one is tinier than the last, but the colouring is great.

my first inflated and opened N.eymae x x trusmadiensis pitcher!

That skinny tiny fiery pitcher is my first S.flava ornata black veins semi-dwarf pitcher for the year - and my first flava pitcher for the year actually (the rubricorpora hasn't put up a pitcher yet )

S.xUmlauftiana putting up a pitcher next to S.rosea luteolata (and that tall dew you're seeing in the sarr minibogs is filiformis sbsp filiformis. the one in the vft/cobra bog is the red filiformis from florida I think)

There's a petiolata pitcher hiding in there that just keeps growing - seriously GREAT colors, fast grower, takes repotting like a champ, and mature plants have GIGANTIC pitchers. You can't lose - it's like all the great things that a hybrid could have but it's a species!

My only ceph doing well - Big Boy

N.Robcantleyii

that all-green pitcher is N.spathulata x hamata. I am not pleased with the colour

N.izumiae x x trusmadiensis pitcher inflating

vft/cobra/dew minibog with different focal-points so you can see both front and back

D.graomogolensis from a Dew-king

N.macrophylla BE still inflating

aaand an ugly deformed puny N.xTriffid pitcher that opened up to close things off

 

[Heli]

amazing pics thez!

 

[thez_yo]

Thanks Heli!

 

[amphirion]

so many plants! so much awesome! im excited to see the mac pop and your sarrs pitcher up! and nice to see the graomo growing strong!

 

[carnivoure12]

Hurray! Finally, it seems like your picture taking might pick-up for the season.

Everything looks great, keep us opdated on the N. petiolata.

 

[thez_yo]

Thanks guys Yeah now that I have my right hand and back mostly in working order again expect an onslaught of pics as soon as summer gets underway full swing

 

[limeslide]

Haha, I love the commentaries! I needed the giggles today. Everything looks great!

 

[Dexenthes]

Looking good ! I love it all

 

[Nepenthesis]

Probably already answered in the 70 pages, but how cold does it get there on winter nights? Ever have to move the plants inside for summer/winter?

 

[thez_yo]

Thanks

Pineapple: get to about 45/50 F at night at the lowest in the winter and maybe 55/60 during the day at the lowest. I used to move Helis in during the summer when it would hit more than 80 during the day, but I got rid of them because it's a hassle. If I know it's gonna be 90+, I move the villosa, dubia, inermis, aristolochioides, and rhh inside for the day.

 

[thez_yo]

Moar pics! The petiolata popped!

and so did that little green spathulata x hamata!

and campanulata x (spectabilis x talangensis) too!

and inermis!

and dubia from AW!

(dubia from BE is sulking )

and petiolata x x trusmadiensis!

and here's some update shots of stuff that's opened better/colored up-
eymae x x trusmadiensis

d.filiformis sbsp filiformis with its buddy S.purp montana to the left

S.xJudith Hindle

a hitch-hiker in the N.muluensis

and I finally got a closer look at vft B52

...and Royal Red

and the D.spathulata x capensis

 

[potted_plants]

wow. amazing

 

[bluemax]

That petiolata is a beauty. I'm looking forward to seeing the pitcher fully-matured. A nice crop of photos, Thez.

 

[thez_yo]

Thanks

 

[Thagirion]

Nice. I like the inermis and dubia.

 

[thez_yo]

Thanks! Wine glasses are best

 

[Peatmoss]

You are right, petiolata is nice!

Your photography is improving every time you post on this thread. And the plants just keep getting better and better!

 

[thez_yo]

It's just

Thanks
