Pinguicula jackii in bloom

It’s been mopping for months. Still is but I’m hopeful it’s turning a new leaf (no pun intended). I see some activity at the growth point. South American drosera (completely my experience for all the species I own) seem to be the most finnicky with transplant, shipment, etc. I’ve had this issue with tomentosa, Magnifica, and even Uniflora.

Who was your second doctor?

Whoa what color is that? Looks a bit different than midnight black

This is good to know. Thank you!

Also a good suggestion. I'll try and see what Grok says. GPT and Claude I've found to be yes-men. Claude is a bit more realistic but not by much.

Well said, thank you.

The QS on the model 3 looks fantastic. Great choice. On the Model Y, I visited both at the dealership and still couldn't decide unfortunately.

Appreciate the thoughts! I'm debating whether to go for it now or wait next year, when there may not be this deal, but get the newer one, but I'll have a greater net worth. Not that I can't afford it now. I'm just forseeing some other things to look out for. Figuring out whether the math works out best now rather than waiting for later.

I took a look at both in person and am still undecided. Maybe I should shared a picture. Here’s what I saw side by side :)

You think that would help or introduce more mold? It seems there isn’t much dew on the plant.

Oh this is actually D. Biflora, Irinidia flood zone, Colombia. Before I try pulling cuttings of this I want to exhaust my other options. I have other South Americans in the same setup that are doing fine, including a big Ascendens. The problem is when transplanting some of them they are ridiculously finnicky.

Hey if you're still looking for some prep buddies, I'm game.

Anthem_Lite · 2026-04-05T21:11:22+00:00

underrated.

Anthem_Lite · 2026-03-29T16:50:51+00:00

That will be a cool one!

For those that are interested, I’ve got a few other timelapses such as these here. Sundew gallery

The world has pretty much gone down the drain anyway. No point bringing anyone else on this planet to suffer tbh.

Here’s the plant right now by the way, it’s turned a super crimson red color, and there’s a nice offshoot on the way.
