The clone from keehns carnivores is finally picking up again:

Bromeliads:

B. reducta "France strain"

Two random broms I have in my setup:

Thanks for looking!

[Gekon]

Very nice photos and plants! :)

[Gaz]

your plants are all looking good, thanks for sharing these with us.

[TheInactiveMoth]

All so impressive! Thanks for sharing!

[bananaman]

Wow!

The peristome on the veitchii is incredible for such a tiny pitcher!

What potting medium do you use for the reniformis and humboldtii?

[Peatmoss]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

@Bananaman, yeah, the veitchii is of the lowland form I think (elongated leaves and skinny pitchers) but it has a very nice peristome.

The humboldtii and reniformis are both growing in pure low quality Sphagnum with a top dressing of live Sphagnum. I believe that the humboldtii has Chilean sphag as the topdressing, and the reniformis has misc. Canadian species.

The two clones I possess originated from another grower here in Canada, but I know that the humboldtii is the generic clone from Best Carnivorous Plants. I have a much larger container full of it that I'll try to grab pictures of later. The clone in question is very easy to grow, as is the reniformis.

Thanks again,

Gabriel

[bananaman]

Cool thanks a ton!

I'm growing both species...

[Tuuagso]

Very nice plants, great looking Droseras!

[Peatmoss]

Thanks Tuuagso!

@Bananaguy, no problem. Good luck with the Utrics!

Anyways, I took a few more pics today...

N. 'Lady Pauline' made a nicely coloured pitcher:

N. veitchii popped a new one:

U. reniformis has quite the root system:

N. miranda making a slow recovery after a fungal infection, had to cut it and try rooting, luckily it seems to have struck:

D. regia seedlings:

P. 'John Rizzi'

A project I've been working on for a while, it's a Tepui theme jar, with an assortment of mosses and some D. intermedia "Gran Sabana"

U. pubescens:

D. adelae:

D. schizandra:

D. graomogolensis:

H. tatei x sarracenoides is making it's third pitcher:

There's a bit of a debate going on with this hybrid, here it is, and it's parents. D. capensis "Albino" x aliciae:

Thanks for looking!

[Peatmoss]

A couple more things:

D. ultramafica x spatulata is flowering...

U. blanchetii "WF, chapada diamantia" IIRC:

D. capillaris "Long arm, Belem"

D. venusta lookin decent...

D. spatulata "Gold coast, Queensland"

D. ultramafica x spatulata plantlet...

D. rorimae from leaf cuttings actually look half decent. Nothing like on the Tepuis. But restarting from leaves certainly made better looking plants:

Thanks for looking!

Growing impressive Gabriel , worthy of dedicated hobbyist . I really enjoyed the photos of Nepenthes and Drosera regia . The latter is rare in the country where I live , so that pleases me greatly when I see pictures of it in private collections .

Sincerely,

Rodrigo

[Peatmoss]

Thanks Rodrigo!

My Nepenthes are a bit of a side project, they tend to take a back seat to my dear Drosera which I am so fond of. But I enjoy their hardiness and variability. Fantastic genus!

Here's one that I'm very proud of, after six months of stabilizing, my AW inermis finally feels good enough to make a pitcher:

It's a shame regia is rare in your country, it's a fun plant, and rather easy. I have good success with it, but it does not like my warm summer temperatures.

Thanks again,

Gabriel
