After a brief hiatus, I have started taking pictures of my plants again.

I am getting some nice highland Nepenthes in the next week and participating in an order from BCP. My terrarium will definitely be getting a trial by fire when it comes to growing highlanders. I did get fans installed so it is way cooler now.

Not a carnivore but, I got some tubers for Sauromatum venosum. A plant with some rather suggestive looking blooms. It is sending up flowers and will post photos in another thread:

D. burmanii "Beerwah" flower:
Image

P. cyclosecta;
Image

D. burmanii "typical":
Image

My D. aliciae died back in November and now it is finally returning:
Image

Same goes for madagascariensis:
Image

P. rotundiflora x moctezumae
Image

D. filliformis "florida red":
Image

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the new pics. They are looking good :)

I especially like the burmannii macro.

And I am back!

I almost quit this hobby today, had a bit of an issue with my home made trays leaking water, some kind of condensation issue. But it appears to have been resolved.

U. whatever, anyone know what this is?:

Finally! An Update! :D

Awesome pictures but I don't know which Utric it is as I've never grown them before! :lol: Sorry!

Amazing plants and pics as usual!
can I bother you with some details on said homemade trays? please

Thanks!

The trays are a thick tarp, in a square container (which was not waterproof.) There was condesation developing between the tarp and the container, which was leaking down onto my nice hardwood floors!

I had to make my trays myself, because I could not find any to fit my shelf.

The Utric is bisquamata, BTW.
