New designs, fresh and hot off the printer! @ecken and @dingod have done it again with these awesome new prints.
Dingo keeps the video game theme going with an epic Bob-omb, shown here sporting a Marston Dragon.
Next up is @ecken with the mayan head theme, shown sporting a Chinese Juniper.
The next prints will try to use the biodegradable PLA!

Lots of first time growers are often scared to find they might have killed their carnivorous plants, when in fact it’s simply gone into dormancy.
Drosera often die back, leaving behind a terrifying dead leafed corpse.
Not to worry! It will most likely regenerate new sprouts through a couple of the roots it has laid out.
So don’t throw away that planter full of plants playing possum, they be back up next season!
These ever propagating sundew species like to clone themselves as mush as weeds do. They seem to flower just as often too. Featuring sticky traps that effectively capture plenty of mosquitos, flies, ants and moths. Mucus like in texture, these traps suffocate and digest small insects throughout the growing season before going dormant in the cooler temperatures.
Purchased from Cook’s this species is incredibly hardy!
The red tentacle tips of Filiformis var. filiformis is another easy growing Drosera.
The first year it continually flowered – many of those seedling are now starting to flower again! Recommended if you like the easy way it spreads it’s self throughout your collection.
Purchased from Cooks Carnivorous Plants, this is a great bug catching plant. It does go dormant during the winter – in my experience, this sundew is pretty resistant to pests.
The rains have been refilling the barrels and keeping the plants watered, it’s great to have nature do all the work. Here is a shot of the purple colored flowers from this clear colored Thread-leaved sundew.
