Hey,

I was in a photo taking mood yesterday, here are some of the ones that came out better.

auriculata01.jpg

D. auriculata, still growing strong despite day time temps in the mid 80s! First year from seed.

auriculata02.jpg

An unusually thick, bushy D. auriculata.

Gotta love this species! One of my favorite Sarracenia!

nventricosa01.jpg

N. ventricosa with its unique figure.

Ants, its whats for dinner.

rdentata05.jpg

R. dentata - Heuningvlei, South Africa. Now if only I had a couple caspid(?) bugs! ::)

This plant literally drools! The nectar is extremely thick too, not watery at all. Makes me wonder how it can attract any insect without having them stuck at the pitcher opening! S. rubra ssp. gulfensis - Yellow River FL.

Ok, now for a couple questions:

cephalotus01.jpg

Heres one of my baby seed grown cephs, are the little red dots just nectar glands?

nxventrata01.jpg

How long does N. x ventrata have to climb before it flowers?

I've heard Nepenthes flowers stink but I can't wait to regret smelling them!

wow! nice plants! have any roridula for trade? :wink:

as for your questions...

Yes, i believe the little red spots on your ceph are nectar spots, and if not they are nothing to worry about, i see them on cephs alot.

I think ventrata have to be 6ft+ to flower
