Great photos, as always. That Hummer's Giant pitcher is so dark!

Speaking of Hartmeyorum seeds, none of the ones I got from DragonsEye on TF have germinated. I don't know if yours came from the same giveaway, but I believe SerMuncherIV got some from there as well. I was hesitant to blame it on the viability of the seeds originally, thinking I had done something wrong, but if they are indeed from the same batch, perhaps it isn't my own inexperience.

Apologies in advance for derailing the thread.

The seeds that chevyguy has indeed came from the same lot from that giveaway. Much earlier in the year I also received D. hartmeyerorum seeds from DragonsEye, of which almost all germinated successfully. In fact, the oldest plant from that batch is putting out an inflorescence right now. I didn't notice any difficulty in germinating the seeds - in actuality they germinated more quickly than most forms of capensis I grow! I only put down seeds from that batch yesterday, so I can't make any calls on viability yet.

If all else fails and my existing specimen manages to set seed, I'd be more than happy to spread some around.

Ah, I see. Thank you, that answers my question, so...

Back to original topic!

amazing pictures good lord. Dreamsicle is awesome, and the backdrop of your yard makes it fascinating! wonderful job

SerMuncherIV and katya_dog1, it is not a problem at all, the information was useful to me as well . Plus, there is not much of a consistent conversation throughout the thread anyway, which is just fine for a photo thread.

Thank you! D. 'dreamsicle' is one of my favorites! It is easy to grow, vigorous, and the coloration is amazing in my opinion. It is certainly a nice addition for any collection.

This plant had quite a pitcher size increase while I was away The last pitcher it grew is directly behind it. I'm curious to see what the next pitcher will be like.

This was one of the original plants I started out with, but surprisingly I have not taken the time to key out the plant see if it is what it was sold as.

This seedling is from a small batch of seedlings, but is nothing like the others. The others are far more vigorous and have much larger pitchers. It is turning out to be very nice though.

Great coloration on everything! That N. attenboroughii especially promises to be a real beauty once it's older

Thanks! I am certainly hoping so, but it will be a while before that point. Good thing I'm in this hobby for the long haul

Very nice !! Keep posting your pictures

Newly opened N. truncata (d) pitcher. Also followed by a newer photo of the same pitcher, the exposure is off a bit.

The plant in the corner is Stylidium debile, which got there from another pot. The roots grew out of the bottom of one of the pots I planted it in and then grew up through this pot.

Agreed! Can't get my eyes off the N. jamban or the N. hamata! Such cute seedlings, all of them!

Pretty images!

I found a nice surprise on one of my Cephalotus last week, a flower! This is the first time I have had one of these flower, but I am hoping that one of the other clones I have will follow suit.

This new Heliamphora pitcher took over as the current tallest pitcher out of that plants that I have at approximately 7" tall.

I picked up this N. x briggsiana "Atlanta giant" last year and it finally adapted to my conditions and put out some pitchers. It was well worth the wait to see these .

Nice toothy peristome.

This was another one I was waiting to get new pitchers on since getting it from Exotica Plants.

Chevy, your plants and moss has some of the best color I've ever seen!! Is it also because you have a kick ass camera?

I love your photos and always appreciate you sharing the collection with us.
