I know there are at least a few of us who are expecting packages soon, me included. Figured I would start a thread for us to post pictures and talk about them so we don't have lots of separate threads going. I can not wait to get mine!! Everything is ready and all set to go, just missing the little guy, or girl. :-D
 
I'm resisting the urge to buy anything until after the NASC Auction... but with my willpower, that probably won't happen. :lol:

I know how that is. Lol. I'm done spending for a while I think. I have a wedding to pay for in October of this year. ;)
 
There have been several hamata threads....but you can never have too many... ;)

I'll post a full plant pic tomorrow.
 
Lol. That's one way to look at it. I can't wait til my hamata arrives. It is a long overdue addition to my collection. I want to see the size of the plant I'll receive. I have seen sizes all over the board that AW ships, from nickel size to 3"-4" plants.
 
It came! It came! It came! That was my text to my not so enthused fiancee this morning. Lol. I didn't measure it, but it's probably 2.5" across and has a couple pitchers on it. The largest being 1". I am pleased with the size. My pic isn't great, I already bagged it up in my terrarium. I didn't check the roots, I just inserted the sphagnum plug it was wrapped in, into my soil mix and pot. I didn't want to disturb it anymore than necessary. I used a 1:1:1 mix of LFS, orchid bark, and perlite. I will take some more pics when the bag is totally removed. I'll be snipping the corner a little each week, since it seems this is the technique used by most.

Ooh, congratulations! That's a monster compared to the hamata I got from AW last year, which is still just over an inch in diameter :lol:

I got my N. hamata earlier this month from another person on the forum; it was already hardened off.

The far, blurred out pitcher in the back opened today.
 
Nice size on that hamata. When I got mine from that place, it was teeny tiny, about the size of a penny.
 
Here's some pics.. I'm down to 4 Nepenthes hamatas :p

This is a BE clone

This is BE red hairy clone

P4300043-1.jpg


and this one is of unknown origin, but I'm guessing it's one of those AW ones that's just mostly green all the way

had it a year now so it's in a 5" pot unlike the BE ones that are in 4" pots (and the red hairy is in a 3" tall pot I think... maybe it's 4" though, but it's square and I'm bad at guessing those's sizing)
