The carnivorous plant and orchid collection is rapidly improving. More here as plants become photoworthy.

Some orchid photos

This lovely Mexican Butterwort is waiting for some summer gnats to alight on its sticky leaves.

Another view of the same Mexican Butterwort

This Judith Finn Nepenthes (a cultivated variety of tropical pitcher plant) already has a large pitcherlike trap.

Looking down into the same terrrium containing the carnivores, we see an orchid is blooming.

I wasn't able to get this orchid to bloom again until I used the terrarium. Here it is a few weeks later when, in full bloom, it was removed from the terrarium.

Visible on this P. Moctezuma are some of the sand gnats it has captured..

This almost black lady-slipper orchid is a South American variety which somewhat resembles the woodland orchids seen in the United States. I was fortunate to obtain it a few weeks before it bloomed.
