My bananas are sitting there like lumps and doing nothing at all. Transplant shock, I'm pretty sure, so they should be growing again soon. :P

Meanwhile I console myself with other plants! I just got these in the mail today:

They're cobra lilies, one of my all-time favorite carnivorous plants. Small yet, but I hope they'll grow! (They're about four inches tall.)

Also today I finally found some sundew seedlings! These have been a whole month germinating. I so lack the patience for growing these things, I swear. There are two in this photo. They're tiny.

And speaking tiny, my lithops seedlings are up! These guys took less than a week, which is much more to my liking! I circled them, so you can find them, they're even smaller than the sundews. That's not gravel they're planted on, it's sand. They are less than one mm wide just now. They grow slowly too, but if I'm lucky I'll get the first adult leaves, as opposed to the original seedling pair, in about two months. :P

Carnivorous plants are cool!
