CP terrarium thread, continued

[jbradt]

Tell me about it... it's driving me crazy. But I've always said that these plants are helping me learn patience. The terrarium is about 20" tall if I remember right... I'd have to measure again. But I think it's about done growing up, now it's just got to bloom! LOL

 

[jbradt]

And the main event!

 

[Inka4040]

Finarry! Wow, the anther structure looks crazy on those. Any fragrance?

 

[jbradt]

No fragrance that I noticed...

 

[jbradt]

Any one got a thought on what the "other structure" is? There's a debate among my friends as to whether it's a seed pod of some kind our a second flower bud...

 

[RazzleFish]

WOW! That is beatuiful! I think you have at least one more flower coming off of that, and based off of the second pic you may have two more! Any see packets would form at the base of the flower. As with all flowers the ovaries are located at the base of the flower. If pollinated, the seeds will develop there rather than in another part of the plant.

Im telling you it'll get taller. That looks like a second flower bud.

 

[jbradt]

Thanks, Razz... that makes sense.


Paul... uhoh... LOLOL

Don't why none of these are actually flowering, just sending up stalks.

Drosera binata babies
yup, just too the head of a binata and soaked it in water and forgot about it. Then I planted it.

Mixed Sarracenias
some from my bog, which I think wouldn't survive the winter.

Last but not least. Surprising how well this one is doing.
Nepenthes spectabilis x aristolochioides
