: here's some more cool stuff! orchids mostly...
Reb- Turkey-birds! they've been making a real comeback around my area... LOL!- Workin' up O'l Splitty like that! stone cold, man... LMAO!! I can imagine his crushing disappointment when he finds no Honey's are talking him up, just some poser!
Si} I know what you're angling for in your pics, mate! It's very difficult to capture what your eyes see for that kind of optical shot... Rainbows need special lens' and skills,... It does certainly look like a lovely, interesting days/eve!
DooBage} thanks bro',... your new toy takes great pics, and from the porn shots, you're getting it dialed in!
Swampy} Yup, mon amie, tre' bon....! Did you scope out CA Carnivores? Indeed, some of the trick varietals can be spendy, but I'd stick with the basics, like a V. Flytrap, which you can pick up at many places, OSH, local nurseries/garden centers... I see cape sundews, hybrid pitcher plants (different from Sarracenia l.), even
Nepenthe hybrids... if they're happy, they can build up quickly! test drive a couple of these first, then go for the special ones,...!
<- Schoenorchis juncifolia, growing on cork bark... wisteria-like flowers, very lovely...
<--
: super-freak alert! Catasetum atratum-fimbriatum cross; smells like oranges and ginger,...these are one of the few sexually dimorphic orchids (separate male and female flowers), these are male, and have a trigger hair inside the flower that fires off the pollen packet like it's spring-loaded, right onto the bugs backside! ... can shoot it about 8' if you aim right! LOL! pervy!
<--$$$$ rare$$$; sent to me as something else by accident by a dickhead collecter, who's now lamenting his ripoff ways! LMAO!! Cirrhaea longiracemosa :Stones slap: -that's Latin for ya! Another 'mobile' flower spike... I've looked for this orchid for years,.. all I got were laughs and head-shakes!
<--Ah! not an orchid-LOL! This is a Cephalotus, an Aussie Pitcher Plant...rare also; a plant this size is worth about $400+ (from last year, it's bigger now)
<-- Stanhopea martiana
<- Dendrobium canaliculatum, Aussie native..
