Couple of pics.
ramspina upper

tentaculata. trying hard to impress me.

This is one of the basal shoots from the plant in my avatar. Looks alot different when young.

fusca Sarawak. I think this will look good when larger.

and finally lavicola. This too should look better when larger.

Hope ya like em',

Nice pics Robin. The N. tentaculata has really nice color.

@N. Tiveyi - always amazes me how much these guys (Neps) can change as they go through seedling to fully mature upper pitchers. Not surprising it can become a taxonomists nightmare.

Thank You Gentlemen,
These will have to do until I can get some wicked hamata or macrophylla pics. They all have stage fright or something.....
Caps, I have to say compared to neps, LFS is fast, and exciting to grow! Heh!
Thanks again Guys,
Robin

Well, I think Jeff's lovely wife Paula would have something to say about that..
Oh, you mean "neps" as the plants themselves...

Really wonderful pics, guys. I see egg crate is very popular in grow chambers.
Robin, what % of that hydroton do you use in your mix(the clay balls I see in your compost-that is what it comes as around here)?

Cheers,

Joe

* Nice one Joe

Yeah that eggcrate stuff is great!
I experimented with those clay balls for a while. I actually grew hamata, and macrophylla in nothing but those. I would add maybe 20% as filler to your mix as an experiment.
I have to say, coconut chips are my current favorite though.

* Jan,

Nice lavicola. Nice website too! Love the macrophylla pics!!! I sure am glad size doesn't count, cause everyone has a bigger one than I do.
