The purps grow much faster in a natural seep, and look better with their shape and color. I'll have to post a photo of my hand next to the newest truncata pitcher. It's at least 12" tall. They can stay in a surprisingly small pot until they start vining. Then they get a bit top heavy.

Wow those are definitely healthy looking purps!

 

[Death Pony]

Oh yeah, and they continue to grow. The hydrology is perfect for them.

We found an odd hybrid in the field today. I say odd because it definitely had leucophylla and either rubra or alabamensis in it, in Virginia..... It's mine now. I really like the looks of it.

The swamp shots are really incredible. Gorgeous scenery!

 

[Death Pony]

It was an incredible site. The photos don't portray the heat, bugs, ticks, and thorns. Scenery like that always comes with a price.

 

[jpappy789]

Awesome shots! Any chance you could get shots of the entire hydroponic setup with the intermedia?

 

[myswtsins]

Beautiful pictures!

 

[Death Pony]

Oh yeah, I can get shots of the whole hydroponic setup. It's pretty simple, but it works very well.
