Oh, I like that a lot. Never seen one that red before.
 
think December is shaping up to be the month-O-truncata.
 
N. Truncata Q x K

Well I tried to get some good pictures of my royal Truncata today in natural sunlight but it wasn't easy! We had things to do, so I took the plant outside for about two minutes and took a few shots! It was only about 35 degrees. If we get some better days I will try and get more decent pictures of the whole plant. Comparing the pitcher to other pitchers on the plant it still will get darker, just takes time. Royal truncatas ROCK!!!
Thanks for looking.

I do actually :blush: I have uranium ore and trinitite. I really want to get pure uranium, I used to collect minerals and elements... then went to tarantulas, I have always been collecting cps since I was 5 though.

I'm not too sure of that, you have a very beautiful plant there!!!
I have a pasian highland that has never looked as red as yours!
I'm sure there will be a few more beauties on here before the end of the month too.
I would like to win just like anybody. If I don't, no problem. It's all in good fun.

I have some Uranium ore too. It's something my dad had for a while.
 
  • #17
I wonder if that counts as perishable... It expires in 4.5 billion years. ???

Starting to think I need a royal truncata.. Just wish the peristome had some more color to it.

i think it makes up for the lack of colour with total coolness,can't have everything
