I use... a Panasonic Lumix FZ7. Pretty new too, I just got it a little while ago.. still struggling to get the hang of it though.

I just wish I knew what kind of seedling that was. It popped up in a pot that I sowed Byblis lamellata in and I know it's not that. :P

Thanks for the compliments!
 
wooo

that's pretty awesome. I love your pygmies, they are adorable!
I love the carpet effect they get with enough of them.. just beautiful.
 
Dang. At least it wasn't a cranefly...
Btw, I love your P. 'Aphrodite'

Thanks, I guess it likes the lights I have it under.

Yeah I was worried that they'd be all crowded but now I can't wait for them to flower! It's gonna look like a forest on top of another forest!

Seems a capensis seedling, but as seedling it can look like lots of other sundews...
I'm just blaming the usual suspect :D

That's actually the first thing I thought, but I really hope not. I hope it's something rare and mysterious.. since I got the seeds from a place that specializes in rare seeds. It has been growing incredibly fast.. so it probably IS some kind of capensis. :/
