[RL7836]

Always amazed at your array of plants King Zuzunums!

How does one grow humidity-loving plants on a balcony in the desert?

 

[thez_yo]

Ron: thanks

Carefully... notice how I have vastly less pitchers than you

Carefully... notice how I have vastly less pitchers than you

Not by many on the inermis. That bloody plant rarely holds more than two pitchers for very long. It recently opened a new one and within a few days it looks like both of the earlier pitchers are going black so I'll only have 1

I'd mention my Royal truncata but I'm too embarrassed to even go there ...

 

[thez_yo]

Well, true to word the inermis that looked GREAT a week ago is wilting off Ron, because the new one is quickly inflating At least I'll maybe have one pitcher a month maaayyybe?

Here's some pics (and my royal trunc is bad too... 4 leaves at the moment and all with tiny-lid pitchers )

The rafflesiana popped a new pitcher

hamiguitanensis popped open that pitcher and the lid is *divine*

finally managed to zoom in on a sp Doorman's Top #2 pitcher

The D.lanata actually focused

The D.paradoxa didn't wanna

here's a side-shot of the royal truncata/robcantleyii with pitcher forming with little lid syndrome

a pitcher forming on the xTriffid

puny xClarabell pitcher, but I'll take what I can get

ventricosa x x trusmadiensis pitcher still inflating

spectabilis x truncata pitcher getting some stripes on the peristome

and the BE macrophylla with an inflating tendril that I thought it had abandoned boogie and a shot of last year's one pitcher (cuz I can only get one a year )

'Really like your N. rafflesiana - great mottling. And your petiolaris 'dews are so red! 'Hope these pics mean that you are well on your way to total recovery.

 

[Dexenthes]

Very nice! I'm really liking that Doorman's top # 2. Sweet red leaves and such.

And N. robcantleyi... Little lids. It's all I can get either.

 

[amphirion]

very nice updates Zu! great pics!

 

[thez_yo]

Why thank you gents

 

[dionae]

Very beautiful plants. You have quite the collection. The D lanata looks amazing.

 

[Wire Man]

Looking good. I see your neighbor got a new Kia Soul.

[carnivoure12]

Wow! I the N. densiflora x KoS is looking great! That Phal looks really halthy too. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! I the N. densiflora x KoS is looking great! That Phal looks really halthy too. Thanks for sharing.

Ah thanks! And I was an idiot - it was "King of Clubs" all along and I just got it wrong for what appears to be years.

 

[carnivoure12]

I just checked and it is actually King of Clubs, so I'm the idiot

 

[Dexenthes]

I agree that plant is gorgeous! I don't remember when that slipped into your stash, but it's a great addition.
