I've already posted the first picture awhile ago, but thought it interesting enough to post again. The first photo is a poaceae sp. (grass lol) that takes on a nice pink tone in higher light. I commented on how the photo didn't really show the undulations of the leaf. I've been experimenting and have noticed in lower light this species loses it's pink color, but becomes even more wavy in it's leaf form. I like it both ways and hopefully it proves to be a nice, easily managed, useful plant for the frog tank. I don't have any extras right now, but hopefully in the near future.

beautiful plant chuck

Thanks Nate.

Since I had my camera out, I decided to photograph this one too. I've been growing it for about 1 year and I've gone from 1 plantlet to about 6. This is it's full height and after it matures, it sends out a thread-thin lead and a new plant starts. I've had 3 other really nice ones that grew like this over the years and just when I get confident I can grow it, I lose it all. Usually it is some mistake I made. This time, one of our cats knocked over the container and everything spilled out. (lol, still my fault I guess for putting it where the cats could get it.). I figured I better at least photograph it and share the image just in case it dies.

Sorry, forgot to mention that the tiny plant in the above post is a fern. I'm sure most of you knew that already.

LOL! But it's all I've got! I have to try and keep up with you somehow.

I'm thinking either I'm ahead of the curve or I'm nuts! haha Only time will tell. Until then, leave me alone! : )

Did that Drymonia cutting ever survive? Not the smaller one but the other one from the last meeting.

The one with the white/silver veining, D. chiribogana? That first picture is the exact same cutting that you gave me, first it dropped all it's leaves and turned brown, then it rapidly turned into a big beautiful plant!

The other smaller species is in the same pot and hasn't done much, but its starting to grow now.
