Twas the night before.....

nepenthes gracilis

Nepenthes Specialist
When out in the ghouse there arose such a clatter I ran across the street to see what was the matter. Well what to my wandering eyes appeared? Was a D. slackii and eight tiny legs smeared. He was a big Merry ole maggot with cherry red eyes and a big fat belly that was full of nutritious jelly! And I heard the fly exclaim as he was sucked out of site "Oh no it's almost Christmas! I'm done for the nite!"

Hi guys,

yeah Dave! The um unatural heat differences from it's shift to outside to inside the ghouse caused more legs to grow!

Zach, yes very happy now! I guess that freeze was it's ticket to rebirth! That' the biggest plant of the 3 that came up from the roots. It's about a 2.5 inch diameter rosette.
