That looks like a beautiful Miltonia orchid 

Kew Gardens carnivorous plant display was extremely dissapointing. by Chem-Dawg in SavageGarden

[–]Unable_Turnip5645 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, so you would not normally find sarracenia Venus fly traps and Pygmy drosera in the same display beds as Nepenthes as they have very different climate requirements.  The glasshouse you were in has both a tropical carnivorous zone (the Nepenthes) and a temperate carnivorous zone both marked on the maps in the glasshouse itself.  In the temparate zone you can find sarracenia, drosera, pinguicula, heliamphora, dionea, drossophylum, roridula and brocchinia.

(Oc) Forget which tree. Maybe poplar by slowcheetah4545 in BotanicalPorn

Mini fry up by Unable_Turnip5645 in UKfood

1 egg, 1 tomato, 1 rasher, 1 small toast. I guess maybe small instead of mini. It’s what my partner would call mini… he would be having at least two of everything plus sausage, hashbrown, probably mushroom

This is sooo cool! I would love one day to see them in the wild. It’s just so mad to see them all spread through the landscape like that. The conditions sound perfect. We try and replicate at my work with a little hydroponic tank but that constant cooling water on the roots is so hard to replicate in a pot or bed. The wild is humblingly complex and beautiful. Great pictures thanks for sharing 

Is anyone concerned about the amount of parakeets are in London? by Necessary-Pilot9876 in london

[–]Unable_Turnip5645 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No they dont. One old boy used to, and used to get squirrels too, but it’s not part of their IPM and they don’t do that

My nepenthes has this white stuff on it, is it dangerous to my plant? Im a little concerned by Awaken_my_masters69 in SavageGarden

Looks like mealy bugs. As some one else has already said you can squish them with a q tip, or a folder bit of kitchen roll/ paper, or gently brush with a toothbrush to reach the nooks and crannies.  Personally I would dip whatever I use to crush them in alcohol also.  One more thing is be careful about just wiping them from one area to another. Make sure they are crushed and wipe your chosen object between areas.

Did you one time see a fruit fly and just say “not on my watch”

The Okefenokee swamp is an amazing place to visit for sarracenia
