And on it grows...

Beautiful indoor plants and setup.

So I got a little bit lazy with this and my excel spreadsheet and may honestly just have to go through one day and do a full inventory again. I've had several drosera spawn off divisions anyway that I need to actually go through and count (and potentially repot). That said, I know I've got a few things to update with here, but there may be more I've just completely forgotten about. With that said...

1x P. laueana
1x P. gigantea
1x P. "Marciano"

Carnivorous Greenhouse 4-6-2022
1x D. "Dreamsicle"
1x D. neocaledonica
1x D. capillaris "Long Arm"
1x Byblis filifolia
1x U. reniformis
1x U. calycifida + enough coming out the bottom of the pot that I took another division

Seeds and Gemmae
~10x D. scorpioides
3x D. platystigma
~3x D. x Hybrida "Butterfly Valley, CA"
~10x D. intermedia "Roraima, Brazil"
~25x D. spatulata "Beenak Vic, Aus"

Had a few accomplishments in the last few months as well: first flowering of a plant I grew from seed (spatulata "Tamlin"), first flowering Pings (planifolia (which got frosted :( ), laueana, Marciano), and I have 3 sarrs with flowers forming at the moment (leuco, rubra gulfensis, minor Okee Giant Ware Co).

Also, likely look for a sales post from me probably sometime next month. I have a LOT of stuff I need the space back from - lots of seed grown, a few divisions, mostly Drosera and a little later some Utrics. Before that though, I'll probably do a quick giveaway to test shipping to make sure there's no problems.

And speaking of space issues, here's a teaser of my latest project...

How did you legally get those endangered species from Mike?

I described the process in another post, but I have a friend who is currently traveling through California (where Mike is located) who agreed to purchase and pick up the shipment there before mailing it a second time to me. Hence why I went a little overboard, since who knows when or if I'd ever get another chance at it. I also discussed the whole thing with Mike beforehand to make sure and he was fine with it, and the feedback I got here unanimously sounded like I should be in the clear legally. Obviously very few people will have the same opportunity, but as long as nothing catastrophic happens I should have at least 2 of them flowering next year that I'll try to pollinate to get some seed to donate.

Awesome! That would be so cool to see in the seed bank in the next year and 1/2!

New month, new update:

The Heli Drop (eBay) 7-22-2022
1x H. exappendiculata AW (Apacapa Tepui, Venezuela)
1x H. parva AW 13/3 (Red Clone)
1x H. sarracenioides 02SG AW (Ptari Tepui, Venezuela)

Carnivero 8-4-2022
1x N. bellii
1x N. bicalcarata Red Flush (BE-3031)
1x N. maxima x ramispina (BE-3740)
1x N. spectabilis x platychila (BE-3760)

Florae 8-6-2022
1x N. gracilis
1x N. (veitchii x burbidgeae) x platychila (Seed Grown)
1x D. roraimae (summit of Mt. Roraima)
1x H. heterodoxa x minor (BCP-3246)

Finally got the red N. bicalcarata, H. exappendiculata, and D. roraimae I've been trying to get my hands on for the last year or more, and crossed maxima x ramispina and spectabilis x platychila off my wish list. Still want to get a couple more locations of exappendiculata though, namely Araopan and Aprada. I'm sure I overpaid for the D. roraimae, but it was worth it just to get the top location data of one of my top wishlist items crossed off the list. Wish the plant itself looked a little healthier, but I knew what I was getting when I bought it and the growth point looks solid and it also has a small plantlet coming off the base so I'm sure I'll manage. Final note: the (veitchii x burbidgeae) x platychila was a bonus and I'm actually VERY happy with it. It was by far the biggest and healthiest plant they sent me, and the pitchers and especially peristomes have made it nearly an instant favorite of mine. The plant itself also looks almost exactly like a pure veitchii but with smaller, redder leaves which I really like as well. Very excited to see how it looks once it gets bigger, as it's apparently a unique cross and seed-grown to boot.

EDIT: also nearly forgot but some D. affinis, finlaysonia, and capillaris (Cuba) from the seed bank have germinated, and my cuttings of D. admirabilis 'floating' and D. coccicaulis/venusta 'alba' from last update have budded.

Good to hear the cuttings budded!

Several additions, couple losses. Figured I need to update now before any potential black friday sale pickups. Hopefully I'm not forgetting anything.

B. filifolia (snipped off by a bird, probably)

Nice stuff you got there! Sorry the gracilis didn't make it. I would send you another but my plant died when the adhesive on my light melted and fell, burning the plant to a crisp. I have one struggling cutting that has small, deformed leaves and isn't really growing. We'll see what happens to him
