Thanks guys! I've been very fortunate to have a bunch of these guys given as gifts from awesome folks on here
upwhi: Here's what the extension tube is I'm still kinda figuring out the way it works, but so far I think its well worth every penny! I'm going to try and take some more pictures today and see if I can get some better ones
I really like your N. 'Miranda'. Big, colorful and shapely is hard to beat. As for the Byblis they usually take right off. Maybe something in your conditions isn't quite right. Is there lots of light?
Nope, they're actually isn't a lot of light on the byblis seeds right now. They're outside on the north facing side of the house. So no direct light except for maybe an hour at the end of the day. I take it I should move them?
That's my suggestion. I grow them in with my sundews, which means as much light as I can manage though I use artificial. With sunlight I'd guess something like 4 or 5 hours a day of direct light would be good. You will probably want to shade the seedling some at first so it can adapt to the brighter conditions.
The latest on the butterworts, I added some sand to make them look a little more presentable.
P. 1717
I also wanted to show how small they are so I took a picture of the P. 1717 next to a dime.
These next two guys are camera shy. For some reason I can never get a good clear picture of them. But I wanted to show them anyway so I can see the growth over time.

P. gracilis x moctezumae
Now for some sundews....
D. binata 'multifida extrema' uncurling
Yup! Its a mosquito! The D. binata is covered in them, so much so it makes the plant look almost dead and black. Not sure when these mosquitoes come around though, I never get bitten by any.....
Very nice Pings! I really like the gypsicolas.
That's not a mosquito the body shape is wrong. I'm in an entomology class, it's either in the order Diptera or the order Hymenoptera, but my money is on Diptera. That order does include mosquitos but i highly doubt that is what that is. It is probably some sort of fly.
Weekend update:
This P. gypsicola is so much more rosey than the others, love it!
This guy is looking a little more chipper today. Must like the cooler temps over the past week...
Baby P. primulaflora
My first attempt at pygmys, this is some gemmae sprouting (this is day three after sowing! I'm amazed at how fast they germinate. I thought they'd take longer)
This is Nyla, she's guarding the Nepenthes green house in the backyard Don't let her fool you though, she'll just as easily bite of a pitcher while youre not looking.
