Picture of the day!

This truncata x ramispina opened this weekend, will darken over the next week or 2 and become nearly black.

happy that it’s growing well but I’m never home when the flowers are open

I've seen mine, not that special. Also I've never been able to pollinate them.

I was trying out a new Raynox DCR-250 clip-on macro lens attachment for my camera and thought I'd share a couple of the resulting photos. I'm fascinated by flower morphology and this P. laueana stigma and trichomes seemed like a good first test.

With the Raynox

Without the Raynox (only the 60mm macro lens)

10 days between the left and right photos, N. truncata x ramispina.

With the Raynox

Seeing it at this magnification is quite elucidating because if I were a hummingbird (or moth? or whatever animal that typically pollinates pings) I would find it irresistibly lickable

I kinda like its look. Are the flowers on this plant always like this, or is it a freak one-off?

One of a kind anomaly. All the other flowers look normal.

Mystery sundew looking seedlings on some sphagnum moss (S. rubellum?) I bought from BGH recently - the kind of hitchhikers that I welcome

Thought this looked nice today, agnata huahuapan x el lobo

The absolute fuzziest nepenthes growth tip in my collection. It's only gotten fuzzier with each iteration as the plant continues to grow.

N. (veitchii x mira) x klossii. It just keeps on surprising me with its weird characteristics.

I love the fuzzy ones - that's a great one!

Lots of gnats in my isopod bins...annoying... But my pings love the food.
