[amphirion]

N.adelae

dang it woman...i know you like the neps but yeesh!

[thez_yo]

Thanks guys, except for amph

I'm still trying to figure out how not to kill D.adelae... I think I've got the not-killing part down, but I haven't figured out how to make them look like they don't *try to* die yet At least it has dew on it!

Ok! Long time no update - weather's been kinda crummy and I got a new camera that I'm figuring out how to use. I might've posted some of these other places, but... I'll just post here too because it's applicable Without further ado, here's some pics!

n.sibuyanensis x hamata not really convincing me that it is in fact hamata and not talangensis pollen donor..


some undergrowth indoors


d.prolifera


a fern I got from the esteemed exo




the Frogface


surprise orchid blooms




N.macrophylla BE holding onto more than 2 leaves


N.mikei and truncata QoH x KoS pitchers photobombing the N.tentaculata 'maroon spots' shot. I guess I should repot soonish because the live sphag has turned into dead sphag because of the neem..


some shots of the dew/vft/cobra pot. the red is 'royal red' vft, the one in the background that's green is 'korean melody shark'






intermedia x capillaris in this shot with the baby cobras


another cobra poking its head out


I think this one is spathulata x capensis


here's that intermedia x capillaris again


S.rosea luteolata


S.umlauftiana




S.flava ornata black veins semi dwarf


and repotting stuff today, here's the bare-root N.ventricosa x ephippiata. Tough plant - barely had any roots after the rough repotting a year ago and now it just went into a 8" pot!!


repotted lowii x truncata 'wide peristome' from EP in a 6" tall pot


repotted villosa from AW in one of those small 4" or so orchid clear pots


repotted spectabilis x truncata from Noa in Hawaii - outgrew the 4" pot to a 6" now since I got it.. maybe earlier this year? Those truncata crosses grow so fast with HUGE jumps in size when they're ready for it!


randomly, N.xImmaculata (Sam Estes cross between ventricosa and thorelli x trusmadiensis) opened up a pitcher this week


repotted the N.villosa from BE too - I guess this is sort of a horrifying picture for most people, but most of the substrate just fell off the roots so I got a really clean repot into a 6" pot




And all of these were taken without auto-zoom
The repots of things that were kind of small like the villosas was because their substrate had gotten just too slimy and green. Maybe the truncata crosses that went into 6" should have gone into 8" instead, but ... Im out of space again

Stunning plants and cute frog!
