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. 🌱

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!

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?

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!
