Spring...?!

Monday, March 24, 2008.
Spring started 4 days ago. And now this:




0° C, snow. Funny, we didn’t have that much snow throughout all winter...

Spring is coming!

Yes, finally spring is coming! Despite all prophicy of doom we didn't get any snow at the beginning of March - last year we got about 70cm at this time of year. Now we're looking at some 10° C (50° F for our American friends) and more or less dry weather. Even my Nepenthes has some spring fever: Three new, tiny weeny cans are growing, although Nepenthes are known to be rather demanding plants and not easy to handle.

In fact I did have some trouble with this plant: In the first 6 months all well-grown cans withered and died, so that i had doubts about my abilities of growing plants. But now I'm really satisfied with me and my 'baby'.

Here are two of the new cans. I couldn't take a picture of the third one, because it's hidden behind a ton of leafs.
