True but nobody's close enough to come over. Like amph always goes to LA but won't even drop by here

And I knoooow and I want a yard with a greenhouse. I should not buy more plants and save money for that

Heh, but who says I want to put roots down in So.Cal.? OMG I have to get myself either further north or East because it's sooo weird out here.

Me I go and visit you guys in the Bay Area!

 

[amphirion]

whenever i go down to LA, it's always because i have to do something...i've never gone for the heck of it...and plus, you went up to see us because we had that BACPS show and sale thingy going on. so it wasnt just to see me IRL....

 

[thez_yo]

Well I guess I really *won't* go see you then if you're gonna be like that

I just got back from San Diego. I had considered contacting you, but as it turned out I barely had enough time to see my family and go to my brother's wedding! Maybe next time. I'd have been intimidated by your massive collection anyway.

They're looking good!

Love the hammy profile The stripes on the ovata are so nice!

Oh, yeah next time, and thanks! I've had those trips too unfortunately. And don't be intimidated... it just means I don't know how to save my money

Oh why thank you, I'm quite enjoying them too

Agreed! Very nice!

 

[thez_yo]

Thanks! I think ovata, like petiolata, is commonly overlooked for just sheer gorgeousness! They're like veitchii and spectabilis' doppelganger/cousins. Whenever I'm contemplating if I want a new plant, I drop over to Nepenthes Around the House and go look at Joel's pictures because he's been doing it for so long that he has a couple different good clones. That's how I realized petiolata was a plant I absolutely needed

 

[lizasaur]

Your balcony is a wonderland

And I love your pictures so hard and can't wait for the next update!

 

[thez_yo]

Thanks We gotta get you out here some time so you can in person.

 

[BigBella]

Beautiful!

 

[thez_yo]

Thanks!! We gotta get you out here too so that you can tell me what I'm doing wrong judging by just the volunteers in your pots let alone your plants

You're obviously not spending enough on plants. What is that? The Lowe's Collection?

Ok.. packed a lot of stuff up today for the NASC, so that freed up some room to maneuver around and take some pics, and also repot some Heliamphora that needed it (omg poor ciliata, I'm so sorry for keeping you too dry..)

Here's my new H.nutans experiment - outside in San Diego in a saucer of water like the vft/dew/cobra minibog, because the pot was too big to fit in the terra:

here's a pic of the H.chimantensis again for Butch... notice the luscious moss!

and some volunteer dews in there

the H.heterodoxa x nutans that just opened up

some weeds in the minibog (cute ones at that though)

and the peristomes of Nepenthes that just opened up a few days ago
N.ovata

N.veitchii 'K'

N.thorelli x campanulata getting some stripes too

as well as N.((veitchii x maxima) x veitchii) x campanulata
