maybe if we keep quoting this pic we'll get one of her smiling eventually..
you're already off to a good start though. People made fun of me when I posted a pic with my toes in it.

Hahaha I was just going to say the same thing, in Hawaii, shoes are optional all year round and most don't wear them lol Well, at home anyway, I don't think I could get away with it at work.
I am curently not wearing any as we speak and I've gone outside at least three times
Here's a picture of me smiling and another picture to throw you off. Check out this footwear!
I'm pretty sure toes are mandatory everywhere..... Kinda essential to walking.
I should post a photo with my toes! None of them are straight! That's what years of martial arts does.
Some updates and also some new faces in my greenhouse, courtesy of an awesome member here!! Not all of them had pitchers yet, so more to pictures to come later down the road
D. helodes showing some more leaves
P. John Rizzi finally catching up with the other guys
N. splendiana x 'Medusa' (bellii x sibuyanensis)
N. Dwarf Peacock. Love the coloring on this little guy so far!
I didn't do anything special that I know of. I think it must be beginners luck! I have them in a Dixie cup with a sand peat mix sitting in water. The bench they're on is on the north facing side of the house so it doesn't get much sun.
They were started from gemmae not seed, maybe that's why? I did notice the ones I have in pure peat in a fish tank which has higher humidity sprouted a week sooner than these did. Maybe raise the humidity to get yours to sprout?
Yup, theres snow here. On the Big Island theres usually snow in the winter on Maunakea (where the observatory is). Still haven't heard of any this year though.
It seems to me the island is getting hotter! I remember when my neighborhood/city used to be more tropical and everything was lush and green. Now, even in the winter time, the mountains are dry and like a desert. We even have cactus growing on the hills now.
Wish I had pictures to document the change.
My D. helodes are gemmae. They're in a terrarium, so they're getting quite a bit of light. I was able to get D. roseanna and D. palace ssp. trichocaulis to sprout no problem.
Hmmmm I find that very interesting because I'm having trouble with the D. paleacea subsp. Trichocaulis gemmae sprouting. I've only had one sprout and that one I just noticed today. Must be our conditions...
How are your roseanna and paleacea looking so far? Have any pics up anywhere?
