TheZ_Yo's Balcony

[thez_yo]

Thanks!!! I'm sure yours look better than mine right now because I've got the worst infestations of bugs

...here's some stuff that doesn't look like sun-wilted grass-clippings
N.truncata x campanulata

N.xSplendiana x (xRokko x stenophylla) that I'm thinking about naming something like 'x Tubby'

and the BE SG N.dubia from Talakmau has no pitchers, but the SG N.dubia from AW from Malea, Sumatra looks like this!!

N.adelae

N.petiolata

N.faizaliana MT clone

N.xTriffid (just opened)

D.graomogolensis just kinda chugging along

and a Ceph Vigorous shot... most of the other Cephs look like crap because of the mealies

(the others sorta look like this *sigh*

so medium ok but not so hot looking )

 

[Exo]

Triffid FTW!

 

[Zhilin]

Glad to see the N.eymae x jacquelinae is doing a good job for you. Love your veiichi K. But I most love your N.platychila. Why not use it to attend the monthly contest. Is it a special clone?

 

[thez_yo]

Yeah Triffid

The platy is just a regular BE clone.. nothing special other than being a platychila And yeah - ey x jacq is slowly working its way on up to hopefully having mature lowers one of these days. The veitchii K is just whenever I look at it I can't believe that I'm actually growing something *that* nice!!

 

[lizasaur]

Oh Zu, all your pictures are just lovely!!!

 

[Av8tor1]

ohhh lovely graomo Zu, it looks like it is doing very well indeed

 

[Dexenthes]

Looking good!

 

[Crofthulhu]

The ceph shot is sooo pretty the way the light is hitting it.. looking good thez!

 

[amphirion]

N.adelae

dang it woman...i know you like the neps but yeesh!

 

[thez_yo]

Thanks guys, except for amph

I'm still trying to figure out how not to kill D.adelae... I think I've got the not-killing part down, but I haven't figured out how to make them look like they don't *try to* die yet At least it has dew on it!

 

[thez_yo]

Ok! Long time no update - weather's been kinda crummy and I got a new camera that I'm figuring out how to use. I might've posted some of these other places, but... I'll just post here too because it's applicable Without further ado, here's some pics!

n.sibuyanensis x hamata not really convincing me that it is in fact hamata and not talangensis pollen donor..

some undergrowth indoors

d.prolifera

a fern I got from the esteemed exo

the Frogface

surprise orchid blooms

N.macrophylla BE holding onto more than 2 leaves

N.mikei and truncata QoH x KoS pitchers photobombing the N.tentaculata 'maroon spots' shot. I guess I should repot soonish because the live sphag has turned into dead sphag because of the neem..

some shots of the dew/vft/cobra pot. the red is 'royal red' vft, the one in the background that's green is 'korean melody shark'

intermedia x capillaris in this shot with the baby cobras

another cobra poking its head out

I think this one is spathulata x capensis

here's that intermedia x capillaris again

S.rosea luteolata

S.umlauftiana

S.flava ornata black veins semi dwarf

and repotting stuff today, here's the bare-root N.ventricosa x ephippiata. Tough plant - barely had any roots after the rough repotting a year ago and now it just went into a 8" pot!!

repotted lowii x truncata 'wide peristome' from EP in a 6" tall pot

repotted villosa from AW in one of those small 4" or so orchid clear pots

repotted spectabilis x truncata from Noa in Hawaii - outgrew the 4" pot to a 6" now since I got it.. maybe earlier this year? Those truncata crosses grow so fast with HUGE jumps in size when they're ready for it!

randomly, N.xImmaculata (Sam Estes cross between ventricosa and thorelli x trusmadiensis) opened up a pitcher this week

repotted the N.villosa from BE too - I guess this is sort of a horrifying picture for most people, but most of the substrate just fell off the roots so I got a really clean repot into a 6" pot

And all of these were taken without auto-zoom
The repots of things that were kind of small like the villosas was because their substrate had gotten just too slimy and green. Maybe the truncata crosses that went into 6" should have gone into 8" instead, but ... Im out of space again

 

[fdfederation]

Stunning plants and cute frog!

 

[LeafKirby]

Nice pictures.
Too bad balconies are fake.

 

[Exo]

Stuff looks so good Zu...especially that villosa....sturdy little guy.

 

[jbradt]

Great pics! I love the S.rosea luteolata. Looks almost like an albino purp.

 

[Heli]

Loving the villosa

 

[CreatureTom]

Looking great, I'm loving the colour of the N.Sibuyanensis x Hamata even if its not every hamatary

 

[thez_yo]

Thanks guys!!!

 

[mass]

Everything looks quite happy! Pics look a ton better too.

 

[carnivoure12]

Yay! Great looking plants thez, it was taking a while
