Since it is a rainy night, most of the peat washed off of the VFTs in my mini-bog. As a result, I figured I would take some pictures since it appears that most of them are starting to come out of the initial shipping/repotting shock and are about to start growing vigorously.


This is the Big Jaws I just received from Matt, and it is starting to grow.


Angle #2 of the Big Jaws, showing a sweet flower stem emerging!


Cupped Trap #1


Another angle of the same plant.


Cupped Trap #2


Red Piranha


Original Dente I got from Steve_D which is also starting a flower stem.


Biggest Dente plantlet (didn't take pictures of the other two)


Fused Tooth #1 (from Steve_D)

Fused Tooth #3 not pictured (doh!)


Typical

Sure. I thought about that a bit after I posted the thread, but never got around to it. You are basically looking at a pan of the bog from right to left (minus a few smaller plants). I'll take a full shot and post up.

Also, it appears that my Dente, Big Jaws, and at least one Cupped Trap are growing flower stalks. Hopefully they will all flower at roughly the same time so I can try out some sweet crosses.

Here is the much anticipated full shot of the Mini-Bog. It normally doesn't look that wet, but it has been rainy off and on since last night.


From left to right:
Typical, Fused Tooth x3, Dente x4, tiny Red Piranha, Cupped Trap x2, Big Jaws

Very nice!!
That will look aamzing in the summer..
Be like a huge CP jungle..
You should just plant all the seeds you recieve in their..

Ronnie.

I was thinking about doing that, but instead I might have separate pots for each group of seeds since I am planning on doing crosses.

gotta love the mini peat bog's!

well done, thanks for sharing the pics

I figured since I was studying Microbiology and I am a habitual procrastinator that it was a good time to update the thread. New pics will be up shortly.

Sorry the pics are huge. Too lazy to resize.

Full arrangement:

Big Jaws and the two Cupped Traps

Close up of the Big Jaws' flower stalk

Cupped Trap 1 and flower stalk

Cupped Trap 2 and its flower stalk

Red Piranha fighting to stay alive (dormancy leaves dead, some new growth in center). I was worried that it wasn't getting as much water since its roots might not penetrate as far as the other plants' roots.

The two Dente plantlets left out of the last update

The original Dente I got from Steve_D with interesting flower stalk

Other Dente plantlet with flower stalk

Three Fused Tooths (teeth?) that are showing some new growth

Typical that looks basically the same, but there is some new growth that is blocked by the peat in the middle


Thanks for looking!
