Drymonia mortoniana and Other Cool Plants!

Here's something you don't get to see every day! This is a Drymonia mortoniana brought for show and tell at our monthly Gesneriad Society club meeting by Clay A.

It's got multiple blooms open at the same time, and look at the size of them!

The flowers are quite large and bright white. I'm always curious about what pollinator is attracted by the brightly colored throat markings.

It's unusual to have so many flowers open at the same time on this plant and they are only open for a couple of days before fading so it was a great coinincedence that it happened for a meeting so everyone could enjoy it!

Tom R. brought in this carnivorous Pitcher Plant that, if you'll notice, is in bloom. I'm a fan of all things interesting and weird in the plant world and this is really quite stunning!

Just look at the flowers! It looks a little like the flower from "A Little Shop of Horrors"! What a spectacular thing to have blooming. 

The Twin Cities hosts a relatively new Carnivorous Plant Society too for those interested!

We also had some lovely orchids brought in for show and tell! Members bring in what's blooming in their collections for the enjoyment of the club. These are putting on quite the show!

The photography this time was generously shared by Mike B. and please remember to give him a shout-out and thank him!
