Myrmephytum selebicum, one of many Rubiaceous (belonging to the coffee/madder family) ant-hosting plants, produces icy blue flowers that develop into orange berries. The seeds are easy to germinate on long-fiber sphagnum, and ants are not necessary for successful growth.

I can hardly breathe! I won an auction for a Squamellaria kajewskii from Jay Vannini!! This is a species that has been at the top of my wants list for a long, looonnnnggg time. I paid a just *ridiculous* amount for it but, you know, that's why I work two jobs and share my living expenses with two other people.
