D. venusta, still elongating the inflorescence....... And it's making another one....... It hasn't even finished the first! D. venusta by Wire Man, on Flickr
I harass them every morning to grow faster. N. lavicola got the hint. It's growing faster than N. maxima, glabrata, burbidgeae, and burkei. And everything I read about it said that it is slow....
BTW, N. lavicola is opening a new pitcher right now, and it's deliciously striped.

And we all know how Dionaea came from Drosera. Well, this D. rotundifolia looks a lot like an unopened Dionaea trap. Maybe Dionaea diverged from the same ancestor as D. rotundifolia? D. rotundifolia by Wire Man, on Flickr
That's the entire reason I bought that purp. Might make for interesting hybrids.
The Psygmorchis is surprisingly easy to grow, and the flower is really, really nice.
The lavicola has really darkened. I like the green peristome with the red stripes. 'Always keeping an eye out for updates on that one. I'm tempted to look up Psygmorchis but I'm just gonna wait for a photo of the flower on yours.
The latest N. lavicola pitcher is even darker, and it's starting to get the smoky overtones that it's known for, with even more stripes! I have no clue how long it will take for the Psygmorchis flower to open. Hopefully the lavicola will be ready for more photos tonight.
