Trip to forbes' house

[noah]

Hi all,

I went over to see Forbes' house to see his U. nelumbifolia in bloom. I brought my camera and took quite a few pictures, so here are a few for those of you who haven't been so fortunate as to see his collection in person.

Dionaea muscipula "Fang"

Sarracenia flava... Anyone wanna guess on the (edit: ) variety?

Dionaea muscipula 'Red Dragon'

Drosophyllum lusitanicum in bloom.

A Diptera species on the lid of a Sarracenia var. 'Ladies in Waiting'

Utricularia nelumifolia

Drosera ordensis

Drosera regia

Drosera x hybrida

Hope you enjoy!

The flava are flava var. flava
note flavas are var. not ssp.

Thanks for the comments. The pictures are only great because the plants Forbes grows are stunning.... seriously.

Thanks for the correction Treaqum. I don't think the plant is a Flava var. flava though... it looks like an intermediate of rugelii and ornata. But as Barry Rice pointed out, spending too much time analizing forms may result in insanity.

Woah....All I can say is woah...

Sweet pictures of sweeter plants!

That could explain a few things!
