Nice shots Nick! Did you get a new camera? I like the Macodes petola and the Nepenthes rafflesiana the best.

I got it about a month ago. I like it because I can manually adjust it, and I can also take pics on auto. I wanted a Rebel XTi, but it was too much, so I got a Canon S5is, which is somewhat comperable to a Rebel XT.

I really like the 0mm super macro mode! It really works!

:thumbsup:I like them all! :thumbsup:Any chance for a whole plant picture of the fern?

Sure!
This was about 2-3 weeks ago.

If you notice, some of her fronds come out all variegated, I consider it more of an aureum color.

Thanks Nick! It look like it's in the 'boston' family, a little too big for me, but love the variegation!

Yes, it pretty much is a varigated boston fern.
I got it for 10.99 at a store that has a GH in back. I got it last winter.
