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 08/31/15
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.
11. Judging by forum members and guests in a poll opening on 09/01/15, closing 09/05/15 and using this forum in this thread! Voting will appear at the top of the thread at the close of the contest entries.

** Please remember to clearly identify your entry!!**

Contest will be closed on August 31st 2015 at 5:00PM EST

Good Luck!
 
Here's one you don't see too often: Drosera neocaledonica. After seeing Francois Mey's beautiful plants, I started growing mine with the petiolaris drosera.

You you could have told us that is a ten inch pot its in - then you'd have improved your odds of taking first place ;-)

Prove it isn't! If I'm not mistaken that plant looks exactly like Dionaea 'Zath's Jolly Green Giant!'

I respectfully submit my humble Drosera burmannii. Thankfully my buddy allowed me to use his expensive camera to obtain this shot.

Looks like biloba is not going to flower in time, so here is Utricularia blanchetii:

By my grace I'm putting your entry into the voting, *DESPITE* your lack of label for your entry, as required in rule #3. I have chosen public shaming rather than leave it out, because we have so few VTFs in entry. Please remember to CLEARLY LABEL your entry in the future.
