Several months ago this plant flowered and ceased all new growth. It really is amazing how long these pitchers can last, which can certainly be a blessing and a curse! Second photo is from 10 weeks ago. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #plantphotography

This blue green iridescent beauty hails from the tepuis in the Guiana shield. One of the many heliamphora companion plants in the collection, Orectanthe sceptrum. 🌱 #heliamphora #carnivorousplants #pitcherplants #botany #horticulture #nature #plantscience #bromeliads #tillandsia #xyridaceae

Another day, another bunch of my babies flowering. Again, most of these are flowering for the first time. Plant breeding is possibly more addictive than chocolate! #plantbreeding #lilium #liliums #bulbs #gardening #gardeninglife #gardeningaustralia #gardenclubsofaustralia

For many years I thought Hydrangea were for old people’s gardens. I guess I became an old person at the age of 40. #gardening #plantbreeding #hydrangea

Nepenthes maxima x spectabilis has a beautifully coloured peristome. As it ages, it darkens and rolls back

The first four of this particular Lilium hybrid to flower. Are any worth keeping? #lilium #plantbreeding #gardening #bulbs

Sarracenia breeding can be very rewarding. The variation in a batch of seed is often surprising. This one is a keeper!

A Lilium hybrid from my own breeding. All the plants from this cross are reddish and have black spots. It’s going to be tough to decide which one/s are worth keeping. Many more flowers to come!
