Beautiful photographs and well grown plants! I always look forward to your posts! I hope you enjoy taking them as much as it seems. Your choice of angle, light and stage of growth in the well grown plants is very inspiring.
Are 23,24 and 25 pictures of the Dionaea flower scape (peduncle)?
Take care,
Steven Stewart

Dear List,
I suspect that this is how Nepenthes started down their path toward becoming pitcher plants. Of course, it would have to be caused by a mutation in the DNA, not just a cell division snafu which is what most strange VFT traps are caused by.

It's easy to guess at American pitcher plants phylogeny, but the pitchers on Nepenthes appear to have developed much later than the leaves, unless what appears to be a leaf is in fact a leaf blade - but it doesn't appear to be the case. |

You have a good eye for composition and those close ups are great.
I don't understand the draw of survivaly challenged variants though.
A trap on one of mine hasn't fully separated even though it seems to have stopped growing(it cant close). Should I cut it off?

It can still photosynthesize. |
