By cons, good news for N. campanulata x (x veitchii lowii), which produces the flower primere me and it could be that it is a female :)

Hello everyone !

Small update, I bought a LED kit to put inside the "greenhouse in the greenhouse". The first goal is being to be able to cultivate 2 or 3 lowland species.
No heating inside yet , and anyway the temperature at the moment does not allow me to buy lowland plants by having them delivered with that kind of weather.
So, space is used by my seedlings and cuttings ...;)

32042957583_17dcb8292d.jpg32704219462_15e13345ab.jpg

A little heating will soon take place and I will wait until spring to be able to try the culture of a N. mirabilis var echinostoma and N. bicalcarata ...;)

Meanwhile, 2 pictures of some nice current nepenthes...

and N. 'Predator'

Hi everybody !

The beautiful days come back and it is felt in the greenhouse, in the temperatures also ... :: e21
It was time to discover the banana trees and palm trees outside.
The problem, a lot of grass and bad have settled all around the greenhouse, and it's not very aesthetic. I am also lazy in terms of weeding so I opted for a solution of lazy: cartons and a mulching over. ;

So putting up cartons around the greenhouse and around the banana trees / palm tree.
33470683995_78b910d825_z.jpg

This autumn, I made an enormous cut on the only tree in the garden, an Acer negundo. I crushed as many branches as possible, which gave me a big pile of barks.
This allowed me to put everything around the greenhouse, over the cartons to give a more natural effect. Normally the cardboard should degrade itself and "kill" the weeds that were underneath originally.
 32656231873_5445b27f70_z.jpg33342180181_445a135cf6_z.jpg
Well this is not the most beautiful effect, but I find it cleaner now;)
I do not know, but I hope it will benefit bananas and palm as a mulch.

Anyway, I could not post only that, so here is a small series of nice plants right now ... :)
Enjoy '

N. ventricosa x ephippiata
33470683775_4c725778b7_z.jpg

N. maxima 'Dark' x veitchii EP
 33470683885_ee4c499e8f_z.jpg

My very old N. inermis who has not moved for months or even years finally gave me thanks for his first pitchers, moreover, uppers !
A nice basal popped up, I have the joy to discover my first lower at the same time ^^
33470684205_97d7f41fbe_z.jpg

Similarly for N. talangensis, no growth for months, obviously no pitchers either for years but here, first pitcher, and an upper one. Well I hope the following ones will be a little bigger and attractive anyway;) 32656231953_4c83a0c2f1_z.jpg

A promising little one, N. truncata 'Giant' x ovata EP 33342180521_8060d82570_z.jpg

A hurdy-gurdy, slowly growing, I still wait for the upper for years, but it does not decide: p
N. (lowii x veitchii) x boschiana
32656232173_e689b7a583_z.jpg

Another that leaves me very impatient: N. truncata 'Giant' x trusmadiensis
33342180521_8060d82570_z.jpg

N. burbidgeae x platychila who had only vegetated for a year, finally decides also to redo pitchers..33429763736_afffcac267_z.jpg
If she could be a female .... :p

A plant that I bought years ago as seedling which makes its way quietly, I named N. talangensis x platychila!
So here, if some of you have had the opportunity to buy it too, I will be very curious to see what happens to you, because I can hardly tell myself that there is talangensis in it ... lol

33141283711_6344c30efb_z.jpg
Well, that's all for this time ...
See you soon ! :)

(click on the picture to see the video)

 

This tuesday was supposed to be the most important day in my life. I did my oral tests in foreign city, from the end of my studies that I'm passionate about and are the catalyst to my professional future. 
Unfortunatly, it was also my WORST day ever. 8 years of passion, investment dropped off the map in 20 minutes.
The fire may come from "waterproof" LED lights which have been tripped during my oral tests and caused the loss of everything important to my heart.
Nepenthes were my reason to wake up in the morning, the goal in my life, my passion.
I don't even know what my feelings are currently, I'm just chocked as f*** about what just happened.
There is absolutely nothing left. Nothing to save, nothing to recover, nothing to get back or give out to my passionated friends while I start something new again...

I don't know what to say, don't know what to do anymore.
I'm just freaking disgusted...

 

--- 

 

I still think i'll restart the activity, an insurance expert visits me on Tuesday.
Normally the greenhouse is not insurable, on the other hand what it contained yes.
So I will try to do my best to find the least invoice regarding plants and equipment to try to recover a few euros that will be necessary if I intend to start all over again.

One thing is certain, I can not give up this dream ...

Here...

So there will not be too much news about me for the coming months, unless ...


An advice, pay attention to the electrical connections and the reliability of the products you buy ...

I was looking over your topic thinking how beautiful your plants are and came to your last picture. My heart stopped and my stomach hit the ground. I had the very same thing happen to me on my allotment. One night my potting shed was burnt to the ground in an arson attack. Although I didn't have any plants of value in it, I did lose £1500 approx, cost of shed, tools etc. That day I could have cried as I had put everything into it. It was the heart of my allotment and everything centered on it. So losing everything that you have done and are proud of I understand. I feel for you. These plants are not like tomato plants that can be grown in a season, these take years of love and dedication, they are your pets, they are your family, they are your life.

I have only been keeping carnivorous plants for about a year and don't have any of quality yet that I could send. I wish I could. 

With my allotment I did continue and I have not two greenhouses and a new shed in the process of being built. I didn't give up and you shouldn't either. Restart again, but you will have learnt by the mistakes you made earlier, you will now be better and wiser.

All I can say is good luck for the future, but don't turn your back and such a wonderful hobby.

God bless

Andrew

Thank you so much for you compassion...
No I won't give up at all, I just can't. As you said, this is my life.

What awful news, I'm new to carnivorous plants and can only imagine how you are feeling :shock:

I know that you know your stuff but have a really good search through the embers, you never know you may just find a glimpse of green somewhere :roll:
