Mass's GH

  • #761
I read ALL the pages! Wow!

Nice GH, certainly makes mine look like a kid's sandcastle.
 
  • #762
Nice work on that N. villosa! But then I haven't seen a plant you can't grow!
 
  • #764
The bug looks remeniscent of a 'walking stick', only with praying-mantis-like front limbs... No clue what it is, but it's cool. Great plants, as usual. albomarginata 'black' is one of my all time favorites, can't wait to see it color up for you! Oh, and cute kid :)

The x catesbei finally getting some veining back, but still lacking that gorgeous red it had upon arrival. Should be looking good this time next year after a long summer of sun.

Are these too small to stay in the bog over the winter?

btw, I'm growing helis again. Here's the collection about 6 months in.

IMG_3100_zpsbd3d273d.jpg


H. nutans that arrived with every pitcher broken thanks to our super careful USPS handlers. This is to date the largest heli pitcher I've ever seen in person. Sad, I know..

IMG_3092_zps822ea88d.jpg


I love this corner. droso, U. reniformis 'Big Sister', stylidium, graomo root cuttings in propagation, and a random ceph

I think I see some color coming through on the "belly" of that albomarginata. Always nice to see my seed grown babies growing up happy and healthy. Looking good.

no Cp grower in their right mind can stay away from helis :) not sad you havent seen lartger ones in person, i havent either. just makes each progressively larger pitcher that much more fulfilling :D

plants look terrific Mass! truncata should keep chuggin along without skipping a beat.

thanks you two.. I'm loving both of the seedlings.

How do you manicure your capes so nicely?

easy. just clip the dead or dying arms off as close to the stalk as possible from the bottom up.
 
  • #771
mine is leaning considerably. yours are pin straight. plus the lawn of moss and the clear pot make for quite an effect

The bog plants look very happy out there!

Umm..."random" ceph? Why separated from its own kind? Looks lonely. :tumbleweed:

Love seeing pics of all your GH plants, keep 'em coming to get me through winter as most of mine will be going into their long winter sleep soon.

Tall pots make for tall sturdy roots. And the variation of cape may have an influence. Working on that experiment now..

The ceph gets T5HO light being there. Trying to get that kid's color to stick around.

Is that smallest S. Brokkenensis too small to survive the winter outdoors?

I'm totally jealous of your in-ground bog. :glare: Very nice.

What is the 'dew in the second photo after the caption 'Do the dew'?

Travis: "Is that smallest S. Brokkenensis too small to survive the winter outdoors?"

With our winters here, I would leave them out no problem, don't know about the harsher winters in your neck of the woods. Being the hybrid they are, my guess is that with mulching they would be fine, but probably can better be answered by someone who grows sarrs outside in Michigan. How old are they and have they experienced a winter dormancy before?

They're 2 years old, and have only experienced a spring dormancy. It was in the 80*s for a week, then dropped into the 30*s for 2 weeks. They went dormant for a month or two.

D'ww shucks. Thank you..
The mossy dew is D. "Pretty Rosette"
