New flower: Pinguicula emarginata x moctezumae, HC C!
Quite similar in appearance to A, which is the only other one to bloom so far, but with slightly larger, and slightly more veined petals.

First full true upper pitcher on Nepenthes platychila, famed for its funnel shaped traps and broad, perfectly smooth, stripey peristome. Last photos of the previous trap shows how much it will darken in the lip.

Dark red-purple trap of robcantleyi x lowii hanging over the pot edge

Lighter green and red robcantleyi x ephippiata trap with more ridged, striped peristome and broader wings

Nepenthes robcantleyi x lowii and x ephippiata; one is dark and slender, the other lighter and stripier but also tubby. Both should look amazing when mature

Tricolor flower with four petals shaped like deep upside down boats, framed by the serrated and hairy leaves.

Foliage of the nettle with rich green and clusters of flower buds at the tips of the stems.

Blumenbachia insignis, a tricolor flowering nettle from South America. Requires gloves to handle but has beautiful blooms and lush foliage.

Link sees the Thundra Plateau in the distance, a place with large vegetation that look like mushrooms and a localized thunderstorm blowing over it endlessly. Link: ... What in the fuck am I looking at here?

Staghorn fern showing the fronds beginning to branch to show where it gets its name.

The grasping sheet frond at the base of the fern, which helps them cling to tree branches and cliffs. These fronds have a veiny, netlike pattern across them.

A vanilla orchid twisted around a thrown-together pole of coco strands, chips, and moss

Planty post: Staghorn Fern got a much-needed move from the tiny pot it was swallowing to a mounted panel, and finally gave my vanilla orchid something to clamber properly on.

Close up look at hedgehog cucumber fruit, displaying the hundreds of soft bristles covering it.

Aniother bristly fruit hanging off the vine and just above the soil

If it wasn’t already obvious, I love growing weird things. And the latest weird thing to start fruiting: hedgehog cucumber (leaves more edible than the fruits are).

Full top of the flower scape of Amorphophallus konjac, fleshy maroon spathe flaring out around the tall, also maroon spear-shaped spadix.

Looking down inside the scape at the actual tiny flowers within the spathe, at the bottom of the spadix.

There’s a stench in the basement…because one of the corpse flowers is blooming again!
This is the most common, easiest species in cultivation, but still impressive…and impressively horrid when it warms up.
