Ok, so a couple of months ago I ordered nepenthes seeds from ebay. When I got the seeds, I forgot to plant them for about 2 weeks.. then I finally did. When I opened the packet, the seeds didn't look good to me, even though I've never seen nep seeds before. So I planted them anyway, and to surprise, they sprouted! 
   
     They are N. Maxima, but the funny thing is, is that the seeds I ordered were not N. maxima, they were different seeds... I froget what though. But the ones that I ordered didn't sprout at all, but the N. maxima seeds were extras and they sprouted. haha.. I just thaought that was kinda random. Here are a few pics of the seedlings! taken about 2 weeks ago, many more have sprouted now. :D

Hello everyone again, I'd like to share some photos of my heliamphora minor 'red form' with you today, and talk a little about it. This is my only heli, and I love it. I'll be getting more heli's over time, but right now it's just this little guy with me. :) This is a heliamphora minor Auyantepui, or red form. It is more of a lowland species of heliamphora so it tolerates warmer conditions. It get's red really easily, wich is what I love about it. This heli also divides often, mine hasn't divided yet, but it will eventually. Here are some pics of the two pitchers that grew under my care:

Hello everyone, I'd like to talk about one of my dews. It's called D. burmannii 'giant red'. Burmannii is a small species of sundew, it get's less then an inch wide, but like it's name says, it get's larger then the typical burmannii and has a beautiful red colour. Burmannii is also a faster sundew then usual, it's tentacles fold over it's prey fairly quickly, but nothing like a VFT. There is a sundew that does go as fast as a VFT though, it's called Drosera glanduligera. Also known as the snap trapping sundew. Here are some photos of my D. burmannii 'giant red'

This pic is my fav pic of it, but it's when it didn't have that red colour to it:


this pic it does have that red colours in it, but the pic isn't as good as the other:


thanks for looking!

A few days ago, I "saved" a venus fly trap from The Home Depot. It is a dente venus fly trap. Here is a picture below:

I did a division with it while repotting, the division seems small and might not survive. here is a picture: The VFT's  don't seem to be in shock because the bigger one looks like it's growing and digesting very well so far. But I'm still not sure if it's in shock, it's only been a few days. The pot it is in is a lego pot my brother made for me...The bigget flytrap is under a 23 watt f. light on my computer desk. It seems to like it there. Thanks for reading my blog.
