Google> "Define: vesture" yielded...

vesture - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

I have only ever seen it used the way I spelled it but I'm not surprised. It was probably used once this way and then it stuck. Some of the Dischidia papers I've read use it spelled this way. Go figure.

It's funny that I never found that but I could have overlooked it. I can't half see without my glasses. Magic of Google. Here's where I found it as it pertains to biology

Vestiture - definition from Biology-Online.org

Here's what it has for the other spelling

Vesture - definition from Biology-Online.org

Looks like both can be used in this manner.

I just had never seen it either way so I was happy to have a new word!

Bertolonia marmorata - A very nice gift from a friend! Crappy picture though. I will need to get a better one.

What is that behind the pep, some type of aroid or another pep (not the pep crawling on the ground)? Then what type of Macodes is that behind it ? Need to get some sanderiana one of these days. My 4th cutting of Begonia lita ecuador melted on me, I think I am just destined not to have that plant.

theres a hoya in there, i think thats what your talking about.
I'll have to check tags on everything when i get home for names. I've had very good luck with the Begonia in high humidity (%100ish) and little to good lighting. I've tried moving it into less humid conditions but it just dies back.

When I got Begonia 'Lita Ecuador' from Chuck I place it in a 10 gallon with sphagnum on the bottom along with filmy ferns. It's completely sealed and has a 10 gallon aquarium florescent light on it. I never open it so I assume the humidity is about 100%. The Begonia has completely filled it up. I haven't tried it in any other terrariums but I will eventually. I wish I could find the species name for this Begonia but no one I ask has one.

After a trip to Angkor Wat i found a strangler fig stuck in the bottom of my tennis shoe. It was full of seeds so I threw some in the viv. Much to my surprise they sprouted.
There are two growing in the viv. They aren't growing diabolically fast, but they are sending roots everywhere.

I threw the rest of the seeds on some soil in a small glass jar. Here they are now. These are growing faster...

I had one once that was native to Florida. It made a nice houseplant since it was pretty tolerant of drying out when I forgot to water it. These seem to have bigger leaves however.
