N veitchii 'Hose Mountains' MT origin

Though I gotta say mass, that veitchii K is making me itchy for my veitchii bario to make its first pitcher....
 
That veitchii K is to die for....
 
Omg Trav. Wow lovely!

So is the other veitchii.

Trav I love all the ferns mixed in with your plants too. I do believe they help the neps grow. I remember in biology. It has been documented that ferns will attach at the roots with other plants and they will form a symbiotic relationship. Sharing sugars and nutrients fir the netter of both plants. I'm trying to get ferns started in my nep pots now.
 
why thank you. They actually just grow randomly out of the LFS. Couldn't stop them if I tried..
 
Suprisingly quiet here, so I'll make do with an update :grin:

N veitchii 'Hose Mountains' on the right.

Try to ignore the massive pitcher on the left :lol:
 
It's kind of hard to ignore the veitchii when it can fit in the other pitcher.
 
Saw this little guy sitting in the moss in the back corner among the prolifera & the moss ....

Your tenuis is one of the most stunning pitchers on a tenuis plant I have ever seen!

Well grown RL7836!

Not a common plant at all! Very cool.
 
  • #13
Looks the same as flava, jacq, and jamban IMO. Butt ugly little pooper pot.

Thanks for the comments (except Mass) :-O

Heck, I thought having my grubby paw in the pic would give you scale, :D the lid is almost exactly 1". It has been putting out pitchers around the same size for a year or so although much of the time, those long tendrils sneak in between two pots or burrow into the LFS so the pitcher is barely visible. Although I took a few shots, they were all from the same perspective - not a lot of leeway back there ... ???

Yay liz has an entry! I saw you as the last post and my first thought was, hey where's your entry for once? And here it is! That's a cute little plant. And excellent tenuis Ron, love it.

Mass - shhh.
 
  • #18
Aw why thank you Dex :blush:
Yeah it's taken forever for it to adapt to me, and on the last leaf, it spat out a pitcher maybe as tall as my thumbnail, and then on the next leaf, this! And I was like :0o: cause honestly, that's the biggest one I've ever grown, I think it's even bigger than the "big" x Gothica that I had :oops:
