Thanks alot Blue!! Me too

Here it is a little more developed

Pretty soon the peristome will be just as dark as the last one I'm sure.

'Looking good. The condiment lid protecting the bottom of the pitcher is a good idea, too.

Thanks! I just needed something to put under forming pitchers to keep them from going under the egg crate, and to keep them from becoming deformed from inflating while sitting on it.

And I just so happen to have a ton of those lids hahaha

Due Time for an Update!!! So here is a bit of everything

Drosera and my lone ping;

Pygmy Drosera with a seedling D. burmanii;

6 week old VFT seedlings (94 of them );

Everything looks great! Good job on the Drosera cuttings. How's the maxima?

 

[tje25]

Thanks Luca! The maxima is great! It has started growing again. It is under the cut 2-liter bottle in the nep group shot

 

[Favian]

your N. veitchii x platychila is a beauty*

 

[mylesG]

so nice to see the sundews so happy!!! those pygmys are awesome very well done my friend!

 

[tje25]

Thanks Favian and Myles!

 

[lance]

Wonderful pics! I'd recommend easing off on watering the drosera cuttings a little bit. Your chizzy looks a little too covered in algae which may be prohibiting growth points to sprout.

 

[mato]

Looks great, TJ!

 

[tje25]

Thanks Lance and Mato!!!

 

[bluemax]

I really like your maxima poi dog. Quite the elegant uppers on it.

 

[tje25]

Thanks Blue!!!

Hello everyone, I've been gone for awhile as life got busy. Dealing with a son who is now almost 6, work, marriage, and most recently a set of identical twin girls has kept me from having time for hobbies. As a result I have lost and given away alot of my collection, but am now going to rebuild . Here are a few pics of some survivors;


lowii x truncata "wide peristome"

A little update, I started cleaning things up and transplanted most of my neps. A lot of work to do to bring everything back to tip top condition.

That ventricosaxspectabilis has a striking peristome. Very pretty
