Beautiful; the N. izumiae x 'trusmadiensis' are real show-stoppers....

you've got some nice plants brokken. im sorry that the disas die after blooming...is it possible to artificially propagate them before the bloom or does the plant consist of a singular bulb?
 
  • #243
Thanks for the kind replies, everyone!

Amph: The main plant will die after flowering but after it does, small plantlets grow around the main dahlia-like bulb. It is possible to take those and grow them to maturity. It takes roughly two years for them to reach flowering size.

LOVE the truncata x spectabilis. Thank you for giving me something to look forward to in mine. Hopefully by this time next year I'm seeing pitchers that size.

Beautiful!!! I will need to add the (Rokko x Dyeriana) x ventricosa to my want list.... It just keeps getting longer.....

That cobra is a monster...and the lowii......:drool:

Your Cobra looks like it made a huge leap in size this year. That is if the smaller pitchers are last year's crop. Mine is about 3-4 inches taller this year. Beautiful pics and plants as always. :)

No, no... Not my growth. :) I just purchased that plant at the BACPS Plant Show & Sale.

I see, well ditto to whoever grew it first, but props to you for you becoming its new master. If only I lived in Cali - oh well, maybe I'll make a trip one year to some cp event somewhere.

Broken you greenhouse is gorgeous. Love the plants. You are doing awesome. Very very fabulous. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to a collection like yours one day.
 
  • #258
Wow.. the (rokkoXdyeriana) x ventricosa was from BACPS? Aw shucks.. had I seen it first *I'd* be showing it off :p

Your plants are always so nice... and they look even nicer in person :0o: thanks for inviting me over to look at them again! :hail:

Thanks JB and Thez! :) I really appreciate the encouraging words. :)
It's a good thing I got to the RoDyVent when I did, then. ;)

Finally, here are some general pics of the GH:
