I'm almost 100% certain that nepenthes photo you posted is 'St. Hedwig' - (alata, Large Peristome x (veitchii (maxima x veitchii))) created by Leilani Nepenthes Nursery

I would agree, it does look a lot like my St. Hedwig as well.

I'm a big fan of your Pinguicula cyclosecta! Love the color:)

i was going to say hedwig too after seeing divaskids plant

Just read the whole thread. PVC pots are genius! I tried a few once but but plugging the bottom is still hard for me to do for some reason. I'll have to try again!

I also have the same barrel outside in my backyard. Thought about doing a small pond but a bog seems better. Did you use all soil or is there a filler at the bottom?

Nice thread!

nice mark,your p cyclosecta's are looking good mine are terrible,great dews too

Thanks, Corky. I really like P. cyclosecta too.

It IS about time.. we don't get taken to school nearly enough. Been wondering what changes I need to make around here.

'Happy you enjoyed, Travis. :)

Thanks for the info, Ambanja. 'Sounds like a strong possibility. I have been wondering...

I appreciate the photo to compare to, divaskid. I will do some searching for more photos of 'St. Hedwig' so I can compare specific parts of the plant.

Thank you. P. cyclosecta is a colorful ping and the flowers are lovely. I'll try to get some decent photos of these when they bloom this year.

I'd say you have a good eye. The coloration is certainly unusual and it matches.

Nice thread!

Thank you, Jcal. I'm glad you enjoyed the thread. I used all peat-based soil but I have wondered about maybe putting a layer of sand or finer gravel at the bottom of the barrel. But so far the soil only seems to work well.

Makes sense. Still playing with the idea. My goal is to find some kind of filler for the bottom half. Use soil for the top. I've seen a few substitutes, but I think it's a project for next year!

Nice update! I also am in love with your P. cyclosecta, nice color.

Thanks, Dj. It has been a good year for the species. This last winter I took pullings and got lots of little plantlets. The summer leaves never seem to strike.

Updated photos of the little Drosera villosa plantlets, now separated and potted together.

These have now been potted so we'll see how they handle the transition.

from the Big Terra

It's been awhile since I did an update from my 55 gal. terrarium so here it is:

Some baby D. ascendans, from root cuttings.

A mystery nep. Likely a hybrid but interesting-looking, at least to me.

Thanks, ramdacc. P. cyclosecta always seems to be a favorite. It's an easy grower. Nice that you like the flytrap. I don't get a lot of comments on Dionea that I photograph.

Thanks, corky. I confess that the ones that look less than perfect don't make it into the thread. ;)

Looking good Mark! Glad to see the villosas are doing well..

Thanks, mass. It has been the year of the South Americans as far as sundews have been concerned. And of course I've had lots of help in this...

... and a few more.

Because it sucks getting hints of flowers in the edges of photos without any close-ups:

Deep into winter.

This is how it looked in front of my house today:

But it's springtime in my terra. :-D


P2096030.jpg



P2096036-Copy.jpg



I've been calling this one Pinguicula potosiensis but if any of you ping masters out there has a better idea I'd be interested in hearing it. In my conditions it doesn't produce full-on winter rosettes so I haven't been able to look for those.

Did the flower just open?

Very nice! Sadly I struggle at differentiating Pinguicula from one another... Great blossom though, its nice when you can enjoy some floral beauty even when the weather looks like it does outside.
