Embron’s back in the greenhouse again, showing off our Nepenthes ramispina x truncata! This plant is a relatively recent addition (about a year ago), so it doesn’t need much of a repot presently, but there’s a bit of yuck on the surface that we’re going to change out.
Of the large slender dark plants I have this is probably making the tallest pitchers, close to competing with izumiae x truncata though.

Nepenthes bellii x robcantleyi, bouncing back rapidly after the repot it needed. It’s yet to flower, but once settled it makes a lot of big, chunky traps. Didn’t inherit the dark color of rob sadly, but the contrast of lime green peristome (which blushes bronze sometimes) and purple inside is attractive.

Pinguicula emarginata x sp. Tonala “ANPA A” HC A
Still propagating this one but a couple of its siblings are available in the Shop.

New video out!
This week's midweek plant highlight is one of the few tuberous sundews that I would fully call beginner-friendly: Drosera menziesii! A climber with spectacularly large flowers, and way more tolerant of grower slipups than most of this group is!

Which do you prefer, lighter and multicolor stripes, or dark and chocolate-red?
Both are sibling Nepenthes (veitchii x burbidgeae) x stenophylla I got as freebies a while back, that just got a much-needed pot upgrade.

The fattest Nepenthes rafflesiana that ever did live…or possibly just introgressed with ampullaria. Its siblings are all more or less normal raff though, with similar coloring…

Comparison of pitchers on Nepenthes ventricosa x sibuyanensis clone B, and A. While the differences have become more slight for some reason, clone B tends to produce more hourglass pitchers and darker peristomes (once fully aged) contrasting a lighter body while A has more fat cylindrical traps and red color. Both have vined immensely before but still can’t quite seem to convince them to bloom…
Clone A is currently still available in the Shop, though as soon as they’re repotted both are likely to have vines chopped and propagated as they have multiples

This week's midweek plant highlight is one of my favorite, and IMO easiest to grow, Mexican butterworts: Pinguicula emarginata! Not a species plagued by the need for dry winter seasons or particularly susceptible it seems to rot problems (even when accidentally flooded), so it make for a much more tolerant variety to work with!

Much in need of repot like most other things in the greenhouse, this little Nepenthes nigra has been behaving like a dwarf for some time now but still making notably toothy dark pitchers. Once it’s lifted up in better soil and not shaded out by vines soon to be chopped I expect it will get far darker again too.

Drosera anglica “British Columbia” is flowering again!
For some reason the temperate versions have been a bit more reluctant to bloom for me (the tropicals are still recovering from soil issues so also not blooming yet…) but this form seems a bit more willing.
