Potting of revolutionary D. paradoxa flowerstalk plantlet

Remember this little fella? Propably the first known success with flowerstalk cuttings of D. paradoxa(?).

This little plantlet sprouted from D. paradoxa flowerstalk has now been potted. I hope it will soon grow in to a one bautiful plant. The mother plant was originally bought from CZ plants. Has anyone else succeeded with flowerstalk cuttings of D. paradoxa?

I wish my flytraps would colour up as fast as D. alieae.

Unknown Sarracenia purpurea including hybrid (maybe S. x 'Catesbaei') getting some nice colour.

And after South African's and North American's some native beauty. D. rotundifolia making flowerstalk.

Some Finnish summer hotness. Black beauty with a beautiful name. C. anuum var. Bolivian Rainbow. This chili is it's own as a decoration but fruits are usual super market chili kind of low in taste, bitter hot fruits.

And after chilis and carnivorous plants some orchid news! This plant cost only 2€ (about 2,9 USD or 1,8 GBP) since last fall this plant has done nothing untill now. At the moment this little plant is growing a new leaf and hopefully someday starts to flower again. When I bought this plant it had light orange flowers with purple veins on petals and sepals.

Happy growing and enjoy summer!

Happy little Aussie

I'm happy to announce my newest weapon against the bugs in this bug filled world. The Lance-Leaf Sundew, Drosera adelae!

Many thanks to Amperon for good sized and and numerous plants and of course for excellent packing.
