    Sometimes I can experience daytime temps of 105 or more. I often try to plan for these, but I'm not always succesful. Humidity... anywhere from 30 to 100 and lights... the greenhouse is outside, so as much as 12 hours or as little as 5 depending on season.

    That is one out-of-control peristome you have there, Mr. veitchii.

    Gorgeous plants.

    Some pics from the middle of winter:

    N. aristolochioides. Pitcher as big as the plant itself (which is not to say much about the plant size):


    N. izumiae. My very first izumiae pitcher. It doesn't like my summer conditions but it likes winter:


    N x trusmadiensis. I just got this plant. This pitcher did not grow under my care:


    N x ventricosa x angasanensis. Used to have two cuttings of this plant, but gave one away:

    Very nice plants! Of course it just makes me want a pure aristolochioides even more.
    Does anyone have any Nepenthes argentii x [(hamata x villosa) x (edwardsiana x hamata)]? I'm willing to trade for a mature flowering-size Drosera capensis.

    Snow? What is snow? all we have here in the bay area are some wonderful HL/UHL conditions in the winter!

    Not much is pitchering right now. It's still fairly cold and growth is slow or completely arrested. Still... There are a few plants that are looking nice:

    N x 'Lady Pauline':


    N x maxima x veitchii:


    N x sibuyaensis x talangensis:
