After butchering my starter kit from petflytrap.com, and watching the tiny weak specimens from flytraps.com die on me, I've decided that this month would be a great time to make another attempt! I've learned a lot by my past blunders, and I think these new plants will live long and prosper!
Here are photos of my order. It was shipped from the Northwest *wink* and some Sarracenia *wink* were included in the order.
From left to right, back row: S. 'Judith Hindle', VFT 'Typical', VFT 'Dente', D. graminifolia, D. spatulata 'Frasier Island', D. spatulata
Left to right, front row: S. 'Ladies in Waiting', VFT 'Red Dragon', S. flava, VFT 'Typical', D. aliciae, D. adelae
That's the majority of my order. The pots without tags were plants I already had.
Those are my Nepenthes I ordered.
Left to right: ramispina, maxima, bicalcarata (teeth!), truncata (with it's unique leaves), and sanguinae
My other plants on the windowsill. A young N. rafflesiana, and a P. cyclosecta, which I'm obsessed with right now.
D. aliciae closeup. My current favorite Drosera.
Both varieties of D. spatulata.
Closeup of the D. spatulata standard form.
Showing my tiny N. bicalcarata's characteristic fangs. >;-D
Do you think I'm making a huge mistake trying to keep a bicalcarata on my kitchen windowsill? I've heard that it pretty much requires high humidity, but I don't feel like messing around with fishtanks and fungus again. It's been on the sill for three days now, and the leaves show no signs of wilting.
