Oh man! I was hoping for doughnuts but those will do ;>

Things are picking up here too with the longer days and the sun getting stronger!
 
Nice plants thez! Don't tell me that the N. densiflora x truncata is still getting bigger! It is going to be huge!

Personally, I'm all for eye-cheesecake!

Muffins was next on my list for baking... woulda done it last night, but the measuring cups and spoons were in the wash :(

Thanks! Well it is, but the pic on here is just plain old truncata black :p
 
I know thats just a normal truncata :) I was expecting to see the N. densiflora x truncata pitcher opened by now! that is whay I mentioned it.

Hmm, I'm hoping it opens soon too :lol: I'm impatiently waiting on the densiflora X King of Spades, veitchii X boschiana and adrianni to open because they're the biggest in my collection. Also the lowii X truncata flared because maybe this pitcher will start having a nicer peristome I'm hoping...
 
Nice! Do your N. mikei pitchers actually mature to black as advertised by vendors? The leaf itself looks colorful.
 
Oh.. sorry, didn't see you there for a couple days :0o:

Here's a pic - they get pretty dark:

With a flash it's pretty dang black, but without, I'd say it's more of a really dark powder purple-grey maybe? It's pretty close to black in the Nepenthes world though imho.
