Interesting. I had no idea that it ever grew like that. All of mine start out with small quelchii like leaves and eventually grow into the longer stemmed upright leaves.

Nice update Gabriel!

N. bellii x clipeata looks awesome with the sparse markings! I'm envious of the humboldtii
 
  • #45
Thanks y'all! I'm surprised that I've been doing this many updates, it just seems that everything is growing really quickly.

I love bellii x clipeata. Amazing plant.


As per the humbo, it has just started producing upright leaves, so it no longer looks like a little baby!

More stuff!

U. humboldtii is making the type of leaves that Johnny described:

N. ventricosa x robcantleyii produced a new pitcher:

Here's most of the Nepenthes. They look ratty as heck, but some of the pitchers are nice:

Neoregelia hybrid, something to do with Sarah...

DSC_0008-13_zpsa9941c56.jpg


It is producing this thing from between it's leaves. Is it a flower?

Another Neoregelia cross, this one is "fireball hybrid":

Here is bellii x clipeata, figured I would show the whole plant, cause it is actually quite pretty on the leaf side of things:

Here is my new method for growing Pinguicula:

Cool Ping setup, are those containers able to drain?
 
  • #50
the man with the rubber gloves strikes again :p
 
  • #51
Thanks all...

@Luca, enjoying my glovvedness?
@Drew, nope, they don't drain. I just dump water in and the pings grow.
@mooles, yes, indeedily!

great looking plants, peat!
 
  • #53
rubber gloves? lol, dont want your fingerprints popping up on aphis? everything looks good! i suspect the stalk out of the brom is either a flower or a pup.
 
  • #54
Thanks doods!

Yeah amph, always getting stalked by some international spy group or another.


Anyways, got some new pics...

N. 'Lady Pauline' made a nicely coloured pitcher:

N. veitchii popped a new one:

U. reniformis has quite the root system:

DSC_0025_zps9fc00301.jpg



N. miranda making a slow recovery after a fungal infection, had to cut it and try rooting, luckily it seems to have struck:

A project I've been working on for a while, it's a Tepui theme jar, with an assortment of mosses and some D. intermedia "Gran Sabana"

There's a bit of a debate going on with this hybrid, here it is, and it's parents. D. capensis "Albino" x aliciae:

Thanks for looking!

You have some awesome stick grass.
 
  • #56
Lol, thanks... I pride myself on the stickiness of my grass.

I forgot to include this one... An overview of part of my dew shelf, with madagascarensis in the middle...

your graomo looks a lot like ascendens to me.
 
  • #58
My plant is most certainly not the true ascendens, as that is not in cultivation yet. I'd be looking at D. villosa var. latifolia (formerly ascendens), but quite frankly, at this point I'm looking at a shot in the dark or a possible hybrid. I know people with this exact same clone who's plants exhibit graomogolensis phenotype. I imagine my conditions are just playing funny with the plant. Probably the low light. The younger plants certainly act like graom and not ascendens.

I'll have to grow out my villosa var. latifolia seeds and see what comes up. That should allow me to do a side by side comparison of the plants rather than relying on Internet pictures.

Very nice plants peat you have what looks to be a great collection!
