Nice!!! Woohooo!!! Gawd I love neps.

HOLY CRAP! what's that huge nep in the center in the last pic, the purple "bush"!?

that hamata is to DIE for, but my favorite is N. x Trusmadiensis
 
Hey Dustin, i hope you don't mind me asking what plants you picked up at Tony's from BE?
 
Nice pics, Dustin. The Cattleya was a nice touch. (C. loddegesii ??) I noticed the purple bush on the center bench too. Wow! Is that a rajah?

Trent
 
Very nice Dustin! I actually just procured a very nice N. eymae and an equally nice N.inermis from Tony. I really wish I could see his greenhouse firsthand. Those pics look awesome!

I want the nep in the second photo!!! *drool!* That one really looks COOL! What is it...a Nepenthes tonystickyouttietongueii? Geez...I gotta start saving some money...I'll bet that one costs a freakin' fortune!

Tony...I must say...you'd make a mi-T-fine stalker...you got that crazed stalker look goin' on with the tongue out an' all.

Hey Dustin...is the trusmadiensis named after you??

I like the villosa myself. You could sit on that peristome for a potty.

Beautiful cat and utric flowers too.

Fantastic, exceptionally well-grown plants - and the photos are not too shabby, either!

The red-phase Nepenthes jacquelinae aka "The Toilet Bowl of the Gods" is surely a must-have critter for we Nepicionados.

Dustin,
Great pics, I wish I could come check out Tony's place..it looks awesome. Do you know if he is going to cross that Hamat with anything?? I hope he makes a cool hybrid:p
Also, does Tony have other greenhouses for other plants or is that it?

Pill, the purple bush is N. sumatrana I belive.

Augustin I was waiting for someone to ask that.

I picked up:

N. macrovulagaris
N. spathulata
N. truncata HL
N. ampullaria green
N. copelandii
N. eymae
N. mikei
N. petiolata seed grown ****
N. ramispina

Trent, no idea on the orchid! lol Uh like I said to Pill, I think its N. sumatrana or N. treubiana one of the two.

PAK, I think the special nep isn't for sale, it changes the RO filters and pots plants!

AS for the trus naming, why would it be named after me???

Um, that N. jacquelineae, not villosa! the label got in the way!

David, nope thats his only greenhouse currently. As for the hamata, no idea, mine maybe close to flowering so Tony and I are hoping for a girl!
 
  • #16
Dustin...I'm asking YOU that. lol Why not? A plant can be named after anyone or anything.

Ahh...I wondered. I'm not a nep expert (obviously!) but I didn't think that looked like a villosa...but the tag said so!
smile_m_32.gif
Well I like that one.
 
  • #17
I shoulda been there. <CRY>

Dustin, in a roundabout way you owe me boy!
 
  • #18
O lets see if I can remember all the questions.
Um the orchid is indeed C. loddigesii (nice call)
The big purple shrub in the middle I got as a small seedling labelled N. treubiana. Whether it really is.. or is N. sumatrana instead I can't really tell.

I am really pushing it on space give me a couple years to put up some new structures.. The plants would be alot bigger if they had more room. This greenhouse is also not very condusive to visitors.

As for the tongue thing.. that's my opinion of Dustin taking a picture of me while changing waterfilters in 88degrees at 80% humidity with my hair needing a major pruning! I also don't take the heat well... which is why I live in the great white north!

Great stuff!
My N. hamata still shows no signs of flowering but it has a ton of offshoot vines, making a maze through the HL terrarium. Dang it I wanted to be the first one!
