Picture of the day!

Drosera hercules.

Tangentially related to carnivorous plants, but here's a video from a drone flying into the Mer Bleue bog:

I wasn't able to fly very far into the bog since all the water in the air was attenuating the radio signal, but here are some stills:

There was a heavy fog in the morning and it all crystallized into long needles on exposed surfaces.

What make and model of drone is it?

What make and model of drone is it?

DJI Neo 2, flying in first person view with the Goggles N3 and RC motion 3. It's a neat little thing and super beginner friendly. I'll get the FPV controller and learn to fly it manually at some point but the motion controller makes everything incredibly simple.

Supposedly the range should be up to 10 km but with the fog, and having to fly in from behind trees and buildings from 1.5 km away, I was losing signal after barely flying 50 m over the bog.

Utricularia livida in full bloom.
Simple, small flowers but I like the look.
Also, it's filled that small pot extremely fast!

2 more P. laueana 'CP3' flower on the way.

Got a new plant? Growing something new? Is a plant flowering? Want to share an awesome picture or just want to brag!

Share your pictures here, let’s see what your up to.

Some seed grown Darlingtonia I've been growing for a few years. They are incredibly slow growing if you don't regularly use maxsea fertiliser. I decided to put them on eBay sadly, to make room for my purp seedlings. I don't have room/ the correct orientation for Darlingtonia in my garden and keep losing adult plants. So I've decided to give up, for now. They sure are pretty.

Nepenthes flowers!

I call this my 'plant dumpster' that I keep in my grow tent and throw in any left over soil mix, broken leaves, etc. Turns out that when my plants go to seed, they also make a home here. These plants grow better than anything I've intentionally grown lol

 

[WillyCKH]

It's always nice to see a nice Ping flower

Some fern spores must have been in my medium, so somehow made it into the bottom of my tray and germinated.

My sis was at Robert Plant nursery in Ottawa today and grabbed this little Drosera graomogolensis for me.
I'll have to find a tall planter for the crazy long roots it's going to have.

Great to see

 

[Kaitstrick]

I swear I can only grow things accidentally! This is cat nip that I had next to a sundew. So much for them not liking potting soil lol

 

[Muckydoo]

Interesting anomaly.
This flower stem is fused to the leaf!
I thought it was just twisted and I went to move it and it's completely stuck to the leaf!?

Hard to photograph, but that dark line is where the stem is fused to the leaf.
