Very nice, TJ. 'Looking forward to more pics when the peristome is fully-developed.
 
  • #163
Here it is a little more developed ;)

Pretty soon the peristome will be just as dark as the last one I'm sure.

'Looking good. The condiment lid protecting the bottom of the pitcher is a good idea, too.

Thanks! I just needed something to put under forming pitchers to keep them from going under the egg crate, and to keep them from becoming deformed from inflating while sitting on it.

And I just so happen to have a ton of those lids hahaha :)

Everything looks great! Good job on the Drosera cuttings. How's the maxima?
 
  • #169
Thanks Luca! The maxima is great! It has started growing again. It is under the cut 2-liter bottle in the nep group shot ;)
 
  • #170
your N. veitchii x platychila is a beauty*
 
  • #171
so nice to see the sundews so happy!!! those pygmys are awesome :D very well done my friend!
 
  • #172
Thanks Favian and Myles!
 
  • #173
Wonderful pics! I'd recommend easing off on watering the drosera cuttings a little bit. Your chizzy looks a little too covered in algae which may be prohibiting growth points to sprout.
 
  • #174
Looks great, TJ!
 
  • #175
Thanks Lance and Mato!!!
 
  • #176
I really like your maxima poi dog. Quite the elegant uppers on it.

Hello everyone, I've been gone for awhile as life got busy. Dealing with a son who is now almost 6, work, marriage, and most recently a set of identical twin girls has kept me from having time for hobbies. As a result I have lost and given away alot of my collection, but am now going to rebuild ;). Here are a few pics of some survivors;

A little update, I started cleaning things up and transplanted most of my neps. A lot of work to do to bring everything back to tip top condition.
