Nice plants Lil! Happy seeing everything is doing well, pitchers inflating everywhere it seems. ;) nice rocks too :)

Ooopsies. I forgot the baby toes for Mass, and a pretty Optunia sp. I spotted.

Your terrarium looks like a masterpiece!!! I never knew that baby's toes had quite attractive flowers; also somehow I found the snail rather cute... eventhough I usually hate snails to death:)
 
  • #84
I really love baby toes. So cool. I've seen a couple other kinds, some with warts, I'd like to find one or two for myself.
 
  • #85
loving the deep purple of that flower.. so cool! None of my succulents are flowering yet.
 
  • #86
This one sure surprised me, too.

Now we're getting down to business. :D N. gracillmaalbawhateveritis snuck out a pitcher and I didn't even see it.

N. "Viking" couldn't hide this one; it came out a little funny. :awesome:

Mass, that's my stoooooooopid Photobucket app. It un-rotates some, I see them straight, and I can't tell that its giving everyone else neckaches until I log on wih the laptop. :blush: I'll fix it as soon as I do, when the DSL is working. :rant:

Moar right-side-up updates. OK, just a couple, it was like pulling hen's teeth trying to get an update through a really bad connection.


N. "Viking"




N. maxima "formerly eyemae" and Heli Iforgotagain




N. veitchii HL Hose mtns popped a double sized pitcher.




N. robcantleyii looking good.




A really blurry picture of a half-buried giant clam shrimp. I'll get a better one, if it ever slows down. A bunch of them are in a kind of stasis at seed shrimp size, this guy suddenly popped, and another just got big. I'll increase feeding.






ETA: Oh, come ooooooooooooooonnnnnn! :rant: Photobucket just flipped them all around again. Dangit! I'll try to fix it. Mass, just lay your monitor sideways. :p

If they're still sideways, clear your cache.

Let's get some real pictures in here.

N. truncata x "viking"




N. "Viking"




A size comparison between old and new pitchers on the N. veitchii HLers.




Getting ready to catch a snail....




This is NOT the true color of the new mini orchid I shouldn't have bought:




Here's the regular Phael. that I really shouldn't have bought. This is very close to the real color.




It has three (three!) spikes and even a mini-me. Cool!




Here is a slightly better shot of the giant clam shrimp. They clammed up when I leaned the camera over, figures. Those squares are 1/2".

What are giant clam shrimp?
 
  • #96
they certainly arent giant :lol:
 
  • #98
Actually, they're pretty danged big for clam or seed shrimp. Most are only a couple millimeters long.
 
  • #99
Love your phals Lil, most of my plants are in the "shouldn't have bought" catagory

Thanks, Chib! :hug:

More updates! Real camera, real laptop, authentic hard-wire Photobucket upload. Mass, un-squint your eyes. :p


N. robcantleyi made a gimp leaf, I didn't expect a pitcher off of it. I guess the plant had a better idea. :lol:

The Dischidia is going bloom crazy. It's recovering from bad soil and root rot, it's currently in epiphyte mode.

N. ventricosa x densiflora is making big pitchers. These guys get DARK, chocolate dark.

IMG_1770_zpsa66de0b1.jpg



H. heterodoxa x minor is making new stuff, too. New leaf, and new crown. Woot!

N. maxima (formerly eyemae) looking promising.
