Neps of the Summer of '09

Hi all, some recent pics of some of my Neps:

Predator, Basil finally getting somewhere... the vine itself has been getting ridiculous. almost 4 feet of green vine with almost 3 ana half of stick.
Since taking these pics, the pitcher has coloured nicely with a close-to black peristome with close-to purple splotching of the tube.
These pics are from when this pitcher first opened.

The next pitcher has much promise as the tendril is much thicker.


Couple of pics of a Veitchi xx Tiveyii pitcher in the chamber for fun

Nice stuff! Monster N. x 'Predator' and a great N. x Dyeriana. :)
 
Now for some pics I had fun with... all pics are all taken with an Powershot SD750. & I lower the resolution (sorry big screeners)

The studio-style pics are taken with clamp lights and the basic manual controls you get with such a camera...
