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.
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 01/31/13
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.

Winner winner chicken dinner.
 
Nice plants drew. I grow that form for the name, but the colour seems like a good bonus if lighting is correct.

I should probably think about replacing the burnt out bulb my are under. Starting to turn green again.
 
thats one of the best dews iv ever seen :) love the color and seemingly flawless dew spread :jester:
 
Great so far love the ceph and burmanni

I'm entering the plant on the bottom left.

Love the entries so far. :0o: very healthy looking burmannii, and that ceph is so red and robust!

This is going to be a tuff month! Some really great plants entered everybody.
 
  • #15
So just for the heck of it, I have decided I would enter this month. But, all I have are outdoor plants here in the lovely NC and considering it is winter they will be sleeping. I personally still think they look good, but of course I would think that since they are my babies. I have two others saved up for the next two months because I think they will still look swell then so I am entering this guy again.

S. alata

I'm impressed that it is still green. Nice entry!
 
  • #17
I think I'll throw in a photo.

Since it's Winter time (Even though it was 81 degrees today) the pics should at least look like they are from winter time.

Mark gets my vote.

Heather, that's one of the nicer alatas I've seen, and I've seen a lot of alatas. It looks faintly aereolated, and the veins are so crisply defined!

Thanks Graham! This plant was a very small division off of my original alata which died several years ago. Im not going to lie, after my collection died off I didnt really take very good care of this guy until about a year ago now. It was given higher ppm water, it was potted in Miracle Grow peat and perlite. It was a rough time for the both of us. But I fixed all that now and I am really hoping that this year I will get more pitchers like this one and a flower!
