Plant of the Month May 2012

instigator
1. Only ONE (1) Plant per member may be entered in any particular month. This means one Nep vine, one Sarr Rhizome, one pygmy dew etc.
2. All pictures must be taken in the month of entry into the contest.
3. All entries must be clearly identified. (THIS MEANS YOU AV8TOR1!!!!)
4. Entries are restricted to cultivated plants.
5. Contestants may post as many times and as many pictures of their entry as they like until contest closing on 05/31/12
6. Sequential pictures showing opening of a pitcher, unfurling of a leaf etc. are fine as long as all pictures are taken within the month of the contest.
7. If, for some reason, a single pitcher/plant/whatnot cannot be isolated and a group shot is necessary, then the particular pitcher/plant/whatnot entered must be clearly identified in your post.
8. Plant must have been grown by owner at least six months prior to photo, or sprouted from seed by the owner.
9. I didn't like this rule. You can keep entering the same thing month after month and if people still like it without getting sick of it, so be it.
10. Times of Contest and Poll openings and closings are to be understood as EST.
11. Judging by forum members and guests in a poll opening on 06/01/12, closing 06/05/12 and using the Condorcet Internet Voting Service (Beatpath/Schulze/CSSD completion rule). The THREE (3) most popular entries (according to "proportional representation") will be considered "Winners" and the top 3 places will be posted in ... can we make a sub-board here too?
** Please remember to clearly identify your entry!!**

Contest will be closed on May 31st 2012 at 5:00PM EST

Good Luck!

I was looking at my grow rack wondering what to enter, and my eyes landed upon this beauty, an overlooked species from a genus that is only known for it's flowers, but this one has no flowers, and is, in my opinion, a very fine plant with no flowers or not.

Stylidium adnatum:

Quite pretty right? Worth growing, flowers or not...
