Nimbulan's picture thread

[nimbulan]

I believe 'Asenath Waite' is fairly similar to the typical appearance of U. calycifida but has pretty heavy veining on the flowers. Looking at pictures I just discovered two of mine on CPPhotofinder (the last two listed.) Here is a good representative picture of the cultivar though, taken by someone else: dscn2410.jpg Photo by bamaud | Photobucket

Mine have the same palate mottling it would seem, but one major difference is the size of that yellow spot; much larger on the cultivar than the plants I grow.

Unfortunately it looks like that contested Drosera's flower stalk aborted so I won't be posting an ID picture anytime soon. I have other pics though!

That Roridula is in need of a pair of Pameridea roridulae,.

I think I'd need several plants to support a population of Pameridea roridulae, and it might be difficult keeping the plant in a place where it will catch bugs year-round in this climate. I would love it if I could though.

You can get dried bugs to re-hydrate in winter. One plant is enough for a pair

can you purchase Pameridea roridulae ? I never really had an interest in roridula because I figured I'd never be able to get any P. roridulae for it, but if thats possible, wow!

[nimbulan]

I'm not aware of any place that sells them, though I've read about at least one person obtaining them in the past. It can be a tricky proposition though since they'll chew on the plant if it isn't catching enough food for them.

It's interesting how different these two flowers are.

'Nice to see that you have so many 'dew flowers. 'Tis the season.

That crab spider seems to be same species I often evict from oxeye daisies when I pull them. When they are inhabiting the rays of the flowers they are generally white, but still with the red stripes on their abdomen.
