Photos of my plants August 20th, 2009

So my wife and I finally made the move to Ashland, Oregon. Since we've settled in, I've got my new greenhouse set up! I'm very excited about that. It gives me plenty of room to expand my collection.
Unfortunately I kept most of my collection inside under fluorescent lights this spring in order to try to keep them cleaner so I could gather tissue for tissue culture. When we arrived here in Ashland, I planned to just put them out in the greenhouse and let them acclimate. I had no idea that the temperatures would be over 100°F the week we got here. Between the heat and the intense sun that they weren't used to, most of them burned to a crisp!

The plants in these photos were either outside when we were living in Boulder, have recovered or, for one reason or another, weren't affected as badly by making the move from fluorescent lights to direct sunlight.

A bit of nice color:

There should be a lot more color on the plants in about a month.
Hope you enjoyed the tour of the new greenhouse!

Wah!! The VFT expert and his extremely beautiful greenhouse. I envy you. It's hard to find VFT cultivars here in Malaysia.

Thanks guys! As you noticed, there's plenty of room to expand in the back yard. If I need more room, I can always get another greenhouse. The climate here is pretty mild, so I might be able to get away with growing some plants outside year round too.

You decide to post more!!So matt....You built the greenhouse yourself????Your flytraps are very NICE!!!!

Well, I assembled the greenhouse myself. It came in a kit with numbered parts. It was actually quite a job by myself, but I got it done! The extreme heat while I was trying to set it up didn't help any.

Thanks! Unfortunately I don't think Cudo can be grown from seed. I've asked others that have had the plant longer if it even flowers and they said that they believe it does, but theirs hasn't yet.
