Another hybrid in the making...looks like Damon is making use of the many inflorescence that come out

<a href="http://s1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd495/Lance_Plater/?action=view&current=Iphone11-2011085.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd495/Lance_Plater/Iphone11-2011085.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Another hybrid in the making...but this one is my creation from the pollen I sent them.
If all goes right N. X Aeneas (X rokko X Bical) should be ready in a few months.
No big development has been noticed yet, but I hear Bical crosses tend to start ripening very slowly, so still high hopes for this one!!! A closer look reveals a tiny bit of development over the past month.

Looks like there could be a lot of seeds from this one. It's probably the biggest female flower in the greenhouse right now. More seeds means more giveaways!!

I came back with my new plants to see that my S. Leah Wilkerson F1 seeds had dried out while I was gone :-(. I poured some water in and 12 hours later I noticed that several seeds were sprouting. YAY!!

Thats all I got for pics this time. I would have taken more pics but I only had an iPhone cam... and with a house full of nepenthes I got distracted. Hope you enjoyed

Most of the pics aren't working. AHH!!!

The pictures worked for me but it took a minute for them to load.

Wait a minute...your computer may be slow at loading pics

pics arent loading for me either, I have a fast computer.

wierd...they usually work fine

It doesn't work until it says "what I got" up until then it's just the little blue box with a question mark

what cpsammich said, only the what I got pics work.

Im switching the attachment pics to photobucket...hang on everyone...a few more minutes

Great pics, Lance. I need to take a drive down there and check it out one of these days.

Awesome! I love that greenhouse. The eymae is just really fantastic.
