Default Re: NePortraits for Oct.

The Vikings have been out in full sun for a while now and the colors are really starting to get strong. K. Nong of Neofarm has explained that Vikings really develop their best colors when the leaves are in full sun but the pitchers are 'hidden' between the pots or under the pots, mimicking the way it would happen naturally with pitchers hidden in the grass. He also says he's yet to see a cultured nep produce the deep colors of the naturally occurring ones. Casey - that is just one 'weird' plant out of about a hundred that did that! But I like the bright yellow peristome, though the picture didn't really capture that aspect very well.
