I absolutely LOVE how FAT the pitchers are on this one! An extremely rare and highly unusual Leilani Nepenthes hybrid, I am looking forward to watching this one grow!

From Sam Estes of Leilani Nepenthes, June 2013 on the Leilani Nepenthes Forum: "Inspired by the recent appearance of N. 'Princess Bubblegum', I give you N. 'Princess Mashed Potatoes'. Walking down the street ..... She's a thing of beauty! I think she and Quazimoto would make a nice couple. ;D"

Well, I am definitely in trouble now! I am now THAT person that dresses up their plants in tiny hats and enters them into photo contests! Certainly did not expect to be doing this in my 30s (although I am sure 13 year old me would have wholeheartedly approved).
The Southern California Carnivorous Plant Enthusiasts are such a fun group to be a part of! Much thanks to them for hosting this online event. Check out the other entries to the "Holiday Nepenthes" Photo Contest in this photo album (hint: you may recognize all the Neps wearing hats LOL). PetFlyTrap.com hosted the contest and I purchased Pinguicula 'Hanka'. Can't wait for more photo contests! |
