Just a couple of things to share.

A very satisfying ping pic I just had to take yesterday
Posted Image


I was in Gordon Riggs garden centre the other week and saw this. I thought it weird to see such a large Nep with no pitchers.

The large Nep looks like a Miranda. These often come in with a large amount of pitchers on them but it seems quite a challenge to keep them looking as good. I suspect that they require more warmth than your average garden centre Nep. Nice Ping, is that xTina?


Regards Neil

I'm not good with neps, tried a few but it's just too cold here.

Ping is just a standard grandiflora as far as I'm aware, a blackbird beat it up quite badly last spring, I took 5 Gemmae off and hoped for the best, this spring I have this one and took about 100 Gemmae from it, the original plant is recovering too.

Of course it's grandiflora, my bad, I just saw the garden centre price tag and thought well it's not the fake weser so maybe it's xTina without even giving it a thought.

Definitely not x Tina as that's a mexican variety.  Your pic is a temperate and looks pretty much like grandiflora.  It could be vulgaris though as I've never seen it in the flesh to be able to tell the characteristics of vulgaris.
