Recent & Not-So-Recent Acquisitions

Despite a more mild than usual Autumn season, things are starting to slow down here in Zone 5.  Like many of us in cold climates I have acquired several new additions over the past few months before the cold sets in and shipping is too risky.  I’ve also been busy sowing seed & propagating several plants in my collection.  While tending to my plants this morning I noticed several new & old additions were looking good, and I’d like to share them with you.

Heliamphora heterodoxa x minor

Dionaea muscipula (baby flytraps!)

The following 2 pics are of my Drosera capensis x spatulata.  The first is grown under T8 bulbs, and the other is grown under T5-HO bulbs.  Interesting differences.
