Wire Man's Plants

[Cthulhu138]

Jesus Graham, it just keeps piling up on you. I know I'm not speaking for only myself when I say.... Let us know if there's anything any of us can do. I'm sure many of us could baby sit plants for you if you need it while you're getting everything sorted out. Good luck man.

 

[Wire Man]

Yup, all of that hard work for naught. If I need to pawn off any plants I'll message some of you guys that I will take good care of them.

 

[bluemax]

'Sorry to hear about the tough times, Wireman. Hang in there and know that I'm hoping with the others that things improve for you soon.

Agreed...

[thez_yo]

I love that last one with the ants swarming.

 

[Wire Man]

Its head is still sticking out of that trap, weeks later. The ants didn't do a very good job.

 

[bluemax]

Positive, indeed! As always I'm loving the pics of the Psygmorchis. Those look like big flytraps in the blue bog.

 

[Iwest]

Your naczii is looking great, real nice coloration. And I love those first couple photos. The sky in your first picture is unbelievable, such cool lighting and coloration.

 

[Wire Man]

They are big flytraps. I have a pic of one with a pen tip for scale. They're just typicals, as well.

Fantastic photos! What are you going to call the new hybrid? I think something related to ponys would be fitting

That's a really tempting idea. It might be named after something related to fire, because it does look like an open flame. Oh, Spitfire would be a good one.

 

[Heli]

"Spitfire" would be cool. Maybe "Big Mac"?

 

[Heli]

I think S. "Rainbow Dash" would be the best.

 

[Wire Man]

It's a little small to have Big in its name.

 

[Wire Man]

Video update on the temperates.

 

[lance]

Nice mini-bogs! That "night sky" looks fantastic!

 

[Wire Man]

I can't wait for that cultivar to mature! It's going to look incredible.
