I dig the big ol swamp full of pond scum. Berry nice!

Thanks all!

@Shawty: Thanks... I take great pride in my pond scum, and appreciate such kinds of validation... :awesome:


A bit of a photo dump today...

Finally got my madagascariensis staked up... Thing is massive. Approaching 8 inches long/tall. Size reference is a 35mm film canister:

The capensis actually look reasonable this year. Maybe I'll get some flowahs after I change the photoperiod this year (I have not done it yet, cause I'm lazy...)

These are the disputed hybrid, D. capensis "albino" x aliciae. No matter what it is, they are a very fine looking plant. Like an incredibly stocky broadleaf:

N. truncata "Paisan highland" is picking up real nice:

Second pitcher on the Heli seedlings is tiny, compared to the monolithic film canister:

D. camporupestris is about the same size as the canister. Getting there!

N. ventricosa x robcantleyi is showing the milk chocolate silkyness on the developing pitchers:

N. inermis from AW actually made a big leaf, and it might even develop a pitcher on this one:

N. bellii x clipeata looks nice:

DSC_0012-6.jpg



I've had this Ceph for two years now. It did fine for the first, but then it declined. It would make new traps, but they would die when they got to a certain size. I guess I've found the best place for them, as this and the CB clone are both doing well:

U. blanchetii:

One of the ****zies:

U. rostrata:

Some regia:

Some non etiolated reniformis:

This is the one Utric that is not enjoying the setup. Angry bunnies probably want warmer temps:

I've been having mould issues with this moss, but it looks too nice to get rid of:

D. prolifera:

D. schizandra:

The biggest of my Sarracenia seedlings:

That's all for now, thanks for looking!

Aww man, all those Queensland dews :cry: I wish I could grow them!

That belli x clipeata... it's sooooooooooooo nice!
 
  • #24
very nice work Peat! everything seems to grow very well for you!
 
  • #25
Really like the belli x clipeata Gabriel, nice!
 
  • #27
Oh wow, I really like bellii x clipeata! Very pretty little thing.
 
  • #28
@Zu, I'm sure the Queenslanders would do really well for you if you set up a little tank for them. They just like really high humidity.

@amphynoodles, Thanks. I've been happy with how stuff is going. Everything looked like garbage for a while, but now they all seem to have taken a turn for the better. Probably the cooler winter temps, and more careful cultivation techniques. Although, it could be the gloves too. It was probably the gloves. :p

@errybody else, Thanks all!

The belii x clip is a nice lookin plant. It is really enjoying being with the warm dews. I'm looking forward to seeing it develop more. Hopefully it will stay small because of the bellii.

awesome pictures man.
 
  • #30
"awesome pictures man."

Thanks!

I assume you were going to add some descriptive term to express the beauty of my plants. Something like "grandiose", "impeccable", "effervescent" or other. But you must have forgotten... :-O
 
  • #31
They inspire awe :p
 
  • #32
Were you taking these pics in between washing dishes?

FYI, schizandra has a C in it. Otherwise it get's censored..
 
  • #33
@Heli, I appreciate your use of alternate sentence arrangement. Thanks!

@Mass, Yeah, I know, I spell it properly when I do it full length, but if I shorten it my fingers always make it the censored form.

I use the gloves cause my setup is full of all sorts of weird moulds and stuff. Don't want that on my hands. Plus I'm trying to see if the lack of oils from my hands will have a positive effect on the plants. :p

Trying to be the Sam Estes of drosera? :lol:
 
  • #35
@Heli: Yes, but probably with badly grown plants, and an underdeveloped sense of humour.
 
  • #36
:lol:
 
  • #37
excellent progress Peat!!

SG rafflesiana, not a huge fan, but it seems alright:

Me and my D. graomogolensis. I have lots, and since leaf cuttings seem to be super easy, there will be many more in the future!

That plant looks nothing like U.humboldtii to me.
