Thanks,

Ean.

EOU, have you had the plant for the time required? you would have had to have gotten it as soon as you joined the forum... Also, its usually best if you enter a pitcher that has already opened.... as there is no guarantee that a pitcher beginning to develop, will completely do so...
 
  • #11
I'll chime in here for you on Rule #7 Ean.

He has most definitely had the plant for 6 months. I know first hand, since I'm the one that sent it to him. Don't worry SK, this thread is under control. Your retired, remember..
;) Let the kid play along. He's following the rules well enough. This is his first nepenthes pitcher ever, he's proud, and wants to share his joy with the rest of us. I don't see any problems with that.
 
  • #12
Yes i have had it for the required time. I will update it through out the month. Like i posted with my entry. Mass also said i could.
 
  • #13
ooohhh... that's funny. Thanks for the laugh Ean. "Mass also said i could." .. classic.
Yes, Eou PM'ed me asking permission before making his post. He's making more than sure he is following the rules. Your doing good bud, keep up the fine growing. ;)

Damn it Mass! Stop taunting me with that veitchii K :p

Since you entered your veitchii k, I'll post a pic of my albomarginata 'black'. I'm just waiting on it to open a new pitcher, but i dunno if it will color up before the end of the month. We'll see. Pic to come soon.

Very nice plants everyone :). I love this monthly contest!
