A NEW FLOWER FORMING!
Because CP Club Thursday πŸͺ° #cpclubthursday
& πŸƒπŸŒ± Fresh Leaf Friday are coming up, I thought why not combine the two in one post?βž—οΈβ“οΈ
So here are my Fresh Leaf Friday and CP Club Thursday contestantsπŸ₯‡πŸ₯ˆπŸ₯‰πŸ€Όβ€β™‚οΈπŸ‹β€β™‚οΈβ›ΉοΈβ€β™€οΈπŸ„β€β™‚οΈπŸ€Ί
I am excited to have good news πŸ˜€
(and maybe a little bad news🫣)
The good news is one of my Nepenthes is actually flowering!!!! πŸ‘Œ πŸŒ±βš˜οΈπŸŒΏπŸ’
This is amazing as I have only had the plant for 6 months and they are very demanding before flowering (eg very high humidity sometimes 80-90%) πŸ”₯ πŸ₯΅
And the bad news is I only currently have ONE Nepenthes flowering.⚘️
Nepenthes are dioecious, so they come in male or female plants, making self-pollination impossible!🚫⚠️❌️
And I don't yet know if it is a little girl flower πŸ‘§or boy flower πŸ‘¦
so.... I need to start a dating service! πŸ‘©β€β€οΈβ€πŸ’‹β€πŸ‘¨πŸ‘©β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨πŸ’‹πŸ₯°πŸ«ΆπŸ‘©β€β€οΈβ€πŸ‘¨
Most Nepenthes are male (typical!) about 4 to 1! So I need to find a lovely mate in time πŸ€” πŸ‘€πŸ‘€βŒ›οΈπŸ˜πŸ₯°πŸ’˜πŸ«‚πŸ‘«πŸŒ±πŸŒ±πŸͺ·πŸŒΈbefore it's too lateβŒ›οΈπŸ˜£πŸ˜©πŸ˜₯
And a photo of a little pitcher plant growing that looks like an ostrich or bird head to me 🦩πŸͺΏπŸ¦€ and another that is twisting towards the light like a circus contortionist

It does look like a little bird head πŸ˜‚ that’s silly 🦩
@itsjordan yes, silly but kinda cute too πŸ€ͺπŸ‘Ά
Look at all those gorgeous little growths! πŸ₯ΊπŸ€©πŸ₯³ Congratulations on the flowering of your baby nepenthes, that’s incredibly impressive! 🀯 Just goes to show what a dedicated plant parent you are I think and how much you care for all your babies ☺️🌱🌸 I hope you’re able to find a suitable partner for it soon too so that they can thrive even more together! πŸͺ΄πŸͺ΄βœ¨
@signorebean Thanks so much Tristan, I actually saw a nice female on the internet but at that stage I didn't have a flowering plant and now I am kicking myself...plants are full of surprises...
@Seymour There’s got to be some app or service out there to help. Pitchr. Trap4Trap. Carny Love (oh wait, that’s circus dating).
@Seymour β€œCarnie Knowledge” LOVE this!!! Um … I won a what now? You’ll have to fill in the clues. My brain has taken a holiday and failed to notify me (aka I woke up with a cold. And a sick man means the world has to stop and take care of him because he could be moments from death at any time).
@Seymour You gave this dying man a great laugh for his final hours. And I’m sure last night was a contributing factor to the nail in my coffin.
@Seymour You meme me happy.
@Seymour There is absolutely no reason I should have laughed so hard at that. 🀣🀣
@Seymour Sweet dreams. And may they be filled with large boy or girl, horny Nepenthes.
@Seymour Naw. It’s okay. But thanks.
@Seymour Hug an aloe in bed. I’ve read they can help you sleep.
Since you point it out... definitely, I see a bird in the third photo. I'm leaning towards a baby gosling (of the feathered not Ryan variety) but possibly an ostrich or even a swan.

Perhaps nothing like Buddy, my Gull-friend, but I'm sneaking a pic of him in anyway.

BTW, pareidolia is when you see faces in clouds etc. it's not something I suffer with...I embrace and enjoy it. Hello, fellow traveller.
@Seymour Oh YESS!! Congrats Seymour!! x
@RootsnShoots Thanks for that Charlotte, have you seen Chompy yet? So 😎
@CorvidFan You are so onto this Elle, you are good at picking out the images...only wish it was Ryan Gosling...I lean more towards ostrich, could be the coloring...but maybe he will turn into a Swan
@signorebean Tristan, you might find these guys interesting, they have a sale on but they don't just have CPs
