1. Only ONE (1) Plant per member may be entered in any particular month. This means one Nep vine, one Sarr Rhizome, one pygmy dew etc.
2. All pictures must be taken in the month of entry into the contest.
3. All entries must be clearly identified.
4. Entries are restricted to cultivated plants.
5. Contestants may post as many times and as many pictures of their entry as they like until contest closing on 09/30/13
6. Sequential pictures showing opening of a pitcher, unfurling of a leaf etc. are fine as long as all pictures are taken within the month of the contest.
7. If, for some reason, a single pitcher/plant/whatnot cannot be isolated and a group shot is necessary, then the particular pitcher/plant/whatnot entered must be clearly identified in your post.
8. Plant must have been grown by owner at least six months prior to photo, or sprouted from seed by the owner.
9. I didn't like this rule. You can keep entering the same thing month after month and if people still like it without getting sick of it, so be it.
10. Times of Contest and Poll openings and closings are to be understood as EST.
11. Judging by forum members and guests in a poll opening on 10/01/13, closing 10/05/13 and using this forum in this thread! Voting will appear at the top of the thread at the close of the contest entries.

** Please remember to clearly identify your entry!!**

Contest will be closed on September 30th 2013 at 5:00PM EST

Good Luck!

@william9in: is that pic from a planted terrarium? if so, you gotta make a thread for it
 
I agree. It looks gorgeous!

Just took some more pics to try to get the color right - still not there but closer than others I've posted (in other threads).

U. nephrophylla x U. reniformis - 1st of my seedlings to flower (& nowhere near the largest)

Pinguicula laueana Photo taken 9/22/2013

Looks like a dragon! Nice pic Mach.
 
  • #13
cool entries so far,but i do think the whole plant should be shown,
 
  • #14
I agree with Corky, it's not flower of the month. As beautiful as some of these shots are it would be nice to see the whole plants as well.
 
  • #15
Pinguicula laueana. taken earlier this month

I already had this conversation with thezyo, flowers are accepted. My point was the same as you; its the 'plant of the month' contest.

rarely do I ever see a whole sarracenia plant. Or neps. or. xxxxxx......... somethings just don't work out well for everything to fit. So they get distilled down to a pitcher, a leaf, a close up of something special . photo of an entire flowering capensis would end up a tiny little plant, tiny flower at top to try to get everything.......

The rules state (emphasis mine):

7. If, for some reason, a single pitcher/plant/whatnot cannot be isolated and a group shot is necessary, then the particular pitcher/plant/whatnot entered must be clearly identified in your post.

very true kula. You could always take multiple photos though :)
