VFT typical. MY FINGER!! *biggrin2* Attachment 5037 VFT 'Akai Ryu' Got a little bad news though....Casey I'm sorry but the 'Pink Venus' you sent me died during a very hot weather. It withered and the soil was bone dry....:crying: Cheers, Edward |

Re: Neps Of October
Thanks a lot! I recently discovered my digital camera had more abilities than what met my eye at first :tongue: hence, the better photography.

Re: Neps Of October
Yeah, my exams start tomorrow but the important and hard subjects are next week. :spinning:
Not all the highlanders fared well in the heat wave last month...my hamata x platychila suddenly grew smaller and had some slightly deformed pitchers. |
Re: Neps Of October
Your are so lucky to grow N. burb, it is one of my favorite. BTW, the orchid belong to genus Dendrobium. Happy growing!!!
|
Re: Neps Of October
I just finished my hard papers (add maths) :( Nice orchids too i got 2 flowering and 1 coming to flower..
|
Re: Neps Of October
Nice. Both your orchids are dendrobium hybrids. Difficult to get exact ID.

Re: Neps Of October
That's an interesting pink truncata. Highland form? Very nice plants all of them... :)
|
Re: Neps Of October
Now all you need is some stunning hybrids and other magnificent species to have a visual fireworks, Shawnchen :smile: is your place very hot and humid?
|
Re: Neps Of October
Edward,
Thanks for the compliments :) What I have are just that few humble plants :) I'm actually not interested in the other species(cos they seem rather difficult to grow, and I'm a cheapo) though I got couple of albos, a north, a gardentech, a dyeriana lowii x camp and clip x clip x eymae and that's about it! Hot and humid is an understatement!! The 'climate' at my garden gets me perspiring with half an hour! LiWen, I have no idea what form that truncata is, the real colour is more towards orange, and it matures to a dark reddish brown colour.. Got it from one of the ulu local nurseries chucked in one corner with a few other truncatas, and this was the only one with full colouration. |
Re: Neps Of October
This was the raff that got me started, got it from caseyhoo on 4/4/2011 when it was still rather small, then once I moved it outdoors......................
here's when it first came :) casey's packing is fantastic! the plant literally went through no shock at all and contrinued growing as though nothing happened. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...8_222724_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...40452277_n.jpg |
Re: Neps Of October
Edward, your N. lowii x campanulata is beautiful. How do you care for it and what conditions to you give it for it to grow so well?
Shawn! I am in love with your N. rafflesiana 'tricolor'. i can only see a little on the right of the picture, but are the leaves all red? Gorgeous looking form. |
Re: Neps Of October
Hi David, that's one of the favourites in my collection as well :P the underside of the leaves are all red :)

Re: Neps Of October
Gorgeous Raff! I have a pink raff now about the size when you first got it too. Hope mine grows as nice as yours :)

Re: Neps Of October
Don't worry shawnchen, once you have gotten the technique, you'll easily be able to grow most other lowland species that are supposedly hard to grow!
David, my house is located right behind a hill and further up, a forest. Thus, the humidity is quite constant though during a hot weather it can get really dry. I find this plant quite a hardy and tolerant hybrid though to get it to pitcher, it needs some humidity and sufficient water. The last time I hung the plant, it aborted 2 pitchers. I grow it in a mixture of burnt earth and peat moss which I really must say is a 'magic media' for almost all species and hybrids of neps. It gets lots of sunlight too, only a 50% shade cloth and a transparent plastic separates the burning direct sunlight from all my neps. Reminds me when I first got the plant, I almost killed it. :blush: then I returned it to Fauzi and he was very kind to offer another lowii x campa that was the same size but growing healthily. That was 9 months back. I glad to say that my former plant survived in Fauzi's nursery and my current lowii x campa thrives amazingly well! :smile: |

Just got these plants today from a very nice forumer! I won't reveal his name unless he agrees :smile:
Attachment 5058 N rafflesiana 'giant form' Attachment 5059 N veitchii 'Bario Red Striped' Attachment 5060 And N lowii x campanulata. The peristome gets a red tinge over time from pure green. I find the way the peristome colours up rather random, the red seems to be smeared on the peristome :1thumbup: Oh, I forgot to mention that the only downfall of burnt earth is that you have to water more frequently when the plant has established its root system well. |

Re: Neps Of October
If you can grow and get northiana to pitcher, you can grow most other lowland nepenthes species....:smile:
|
Re: Neps Of October
North is rather ok for me, although I must admit, the pitchers develop verrrryyyyyyy slowly...
