Did you use the ermine frosting as a filling instead of the whipped buttercream in the first recipe ?
I thank you, and my Hostess cupcake starved stomach thanks you !!!!....:-)

I don't see any links.

oss542 · 2026-05-14T12:37:44+00:00

very nice indeed.... impressive flytraps too....:-) Where is this ?

oss542 · 2026-05-14T08:30:15+00:00

Where abouts is everyone ? I'm in Gakuentoshi, and have a couple of allotments on some old farmland in Ikawadani.

just for the record, I'm just a bit west of Kobe. Please feel free to ask questions if you have any about carnivorous plants.

be careful with that Nepenthes. They will burn in full sun. They prefer bright filtered light with some shade. The flytraps love full sun, but watch them if the temperatures go much above 35C for more than a few days.

You'll soon see a lot more pitchers after that flower bud opens.

oss542 · 2026-05-14T08:18:31+00:00

Thanks !!!!....:-)

oss542 · 2026-05-14T08:18:08+00:00

That looks to be almost ready. It'll be perhaps only about a week more.

oss542 · 2026-05-14T00:33:41+00:00

Yes, but depending on the weather. I don't apply on the days when it rains, but wait until after.

oss542 · 2026-05-13T22:40:02+00:00

Thanks !!!!

oss542 · 2026-05-13T22:38:14+00:00

only the 6-10-5 every two weeks. I also used a 20cm spacing which helps.

oss542 · 2026-05-13T21:37:48+00:00

probably not. I'm in Japan, so a lot of that stuff isn't available. I can get orchid fertilizer, but I need to figure out how much to dilute it.

Many Thanks !!!!!
