I've taken some photos and I'm just too lazy to post each one in its corelating forum so mods - feel free to move this post wherever you wish.

Lately I've been focusing on growing from seed, here are some results:

I'll start with the nepenthes mirabilis x rafflesiana seeds I've been trading with many members around here:

as you can see, the first two leaves are not carnivorous

I felt pitty for him and helped him out

That's all for now!
hope you liked them!
 
very nice, what camera are you using?
 
Thanks!

I'm using Canon PowerShot S60, I'm also using photoshop to enhance the photos in terms of levels and colors, just fixing though.
 
I certainly did! Great job! Okay, how did you get those mirabilis to germinate?
 
Very cool shots! I love shots that peek inside of Sarracenia (they can be quite fun!) Nice job.

Hi,
Right now it's winter so it's kinda 'highland' outside, I'm keeping them in my greenhouse which I heat very little during the nights, the seeds get 100% humidity and I also extend their photoperiod.
Btw, these are mirabilis x rafflesiana.
 
Great pictures, and I think that fly-caught-in-the-pitcher photo is the best too
