Thank you and I will see if they mature off the plant. Has anyone seed a Devil Claw fruit like this before:

It grew on one of my plants.

Any luck with the Ibicella, guys? My Ibicella are barely popping up after a direct sow in the ground. I swear, they're so touchy... none of them germinated in seedling pots.

Very pretty flower. On one of my Devil Claw plants I can see the tips of the claws sticking out of the bottom of the fruit. Should I go in for the Harvest or wait a little longer? Just wondering.

Wait till it dries and splits open... it will take a while and will get big so be patient ;).

Cool claws,everyone. Is there a good online source for seed?
 
  • #152
You can try the Carnivorous Plant Trading Post to find Devil Claw seeds.

Good luck to those who are have seeds on the horizon! This extreme hot weather wiped out this years crop :(.

Aw, you guys are lucky. I decided to grow mine in a patch that was supposed to be half tomatoes and half devil's claws. Big mistake... the roots of the tomatoes overtook everything. They basically outgrew the devil's claws above and below ground. Both the Proboscidea and Ibicella were destroyed. Nothing made it this year. A full season wasted. :cry:

are they carnivorous or proto carnivorous

Neither, as far as research can find. THey have sticky leaf surfaces, but past that, there's no hard evidence they even use other insects to process nutrients, like Darlingtonia and Roridula do.

I got some seed from Ebay. I was inspired by this thread and figured I would get the thread going for 2013.



The game is afoot
