Anyone want a bunch of pygmy sundews???

This is kind of random, but recently I have run out of space due to tissue culture. I have a big tub of pygmies that has been neglected for the past year. They have not had a meal for this entire time. I've never had time to make gemmae, so I always leave my fixtures on a 16 hour photoperiod, which constantly triggers the flowering response, as you can see from the a few of the pictures :0o:. If you let them make gemmae this year, you will have tons of them, and can repot them up in smaller containers that won't take up as much space.

Here's a link to a few pictures of what pygmies are growing in the tub (they are not currently labeled, but I have a key and will label them before I give them to you.):
Here is a link to an album on photobucket: http://s451.photobucket.com/albums/qq232/sundewman/Pygmy Sundew Tub/Pygmy Sundew Tub/


The 12 (living) species that are in this tub include:
D. nitidula ssp. allanostigma
D. leucostigma
D. nitidula x pulchella
CAN look like this, but has not had this much light in a while:
nitidulaxpulchella_and_roseana.JPG

D. occidentalis var. microscapa
D. omissa x pulchella
D. omissa
D. pulchella 'Salmon flower'=deceased, so I will replace with D. pulchella (Coral Pink, Red center, from Karidale, WA)
D. roseana- behind the D. nitidula x pulchella in the picture above.
D. scorpioides "Pink Flower"
D. stelliflora
D. x 'Lake Carbarup'
D. x 'Lake Badgerup'


The only thing is that I've invested over $100 into gemmae, plants, media, and (and a ton of time) so I feel as though I'd have to get at least half of that back to make me feel like I'm not throwing my money away...so I don't know if I can get some sort of commitment beforehand, or else I suppose I'll bring it along anyway and maybe trade it off or give it away if it comes down to that....

Also, keep in mind that these can/should be grown in a partly sunny location outdoors so that they're able to catch food on their own. Since my summer plans have changed, I will no longer be able to do this. Just make sure they don't dry out, and that they aren't subjected to scorching heat for an extended period of time.

I just fourthed my previous post due to frustration : ) but you get the jist of it, see you guys there. Oh and if you are really joking about the clowns I will be dissapointed. I am hopeful.

I don't know about Sarr's, but I am bringing my wife! :-D

Oh, you mean for trading...
Well, I do hope to bring a bunch of crap and also some interesting / hard to find things to trade, but it is mostly non-plant items. :banana2:
I do have some Viking seedlings, and may bring those if I have some spares.

I am looking for some Colorful Sarrs, Neps and giants (VFTs, Dews).
I'd also like a Big Screen TV and another new car, if anyone is bringing one of those to trade! :-))

Looking forward to seeing you all! (Hope I make it!)

Well I really won't have any Sarrs to trade until this winter at the earliest. Is anybody bringing 'just for show' material? If so I could maybe bring a few...

Still hoping someone brings some to trade, I could always use more purps, especially with location info :drool:

Nathan,
the wife and I are gonna miss seeing your "cave", but we heard Chris has a body buried in his basement, and a plant that says "Feed Me"! all the time, so it should be interesting! :0o:

Look forward to seeing you! :banana2:

PS: what is the sand going for, near you? We are doing about $6 a bag here, but always looking for the BBD (Bigger Better Deal)!

Love to hear what you have been doing TC-wise.

And Chris, I will have to bring my clown outfit! Wait a minute, I always wear that! :jester::jester::jester:

Trade items!

Hi All,
I have some "non-living" items I hope to bring to the meeting to trade.
I am breaking up a large bale of coir, and have a few fish tanks, planting/potting sieves and lots of pots!

If anyone is interested in these, or looking for something special,
be sure to PM me and I will try to make sure I bring what you are wanting.

In addition to what you see here, I may also be able to pick up some turface and hydroton to bring too. If you are needing/wanting something in particular that you can't find back home, be sure to let me know and I can see if I can locate it.

Looking forward to seeing everyone. :banana2:

Paul :water:

Not sure if Mark emailed anyone, but in my last conversation with him, he mentioned that he won't be able to attend, due to graduations that day :(

Also, Vbkid mentioned he wants to attend, but he graduated this past weekend, and doesn't know if he will make it or not (I'm guessing he won't though).

I have plenty of dews that I've transplanted, and some are looking better than others, after frying in the sun outside with minimal water on Monday :blush:.
Looks like I'll have plenty of D. 'Ivan's Paddle's to bring, as well as several others.

Coming up ! We are getting things in order although not in the order I had planned. (I am married after all) Looks like the weather might cooperate as well. See you guys Sunday !
 
  • #57
I'm probably going to bring some of my better neps. I need to trade them for stuff I can export to Canada. If someone can bring heliamphora or cephs to trade, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks,

-Hermes.
