Don't just collect material out of a river, you don't know what contaminants are in it. Stick with known clean sources like pool filter sand, washed blasting abrasives, etc.
Though D. linearis naturally grows in alkaline habitats basically across the board, it is not at all a requirement for their survival in cultivation; it's just an adaptation to avoid competition....
It should be what I named them; Lucy and Desi were a pair in real life and the names were suggestions from my mother, didn't need to match the show perfectly. Matters not in the end since all the...
I know of an FB auction going on for khasi right now, and a female too...but unfortunately it's already gone way over any price range I could manage right now, so my wait continues. And I seem to...
The derpiest thing with glowing eyes you'll ever see...

Derpier, but without glowing eyes...
Finally after so many generations...another green ghost has appeared:

When the corpse flowers fall asleep, this is the monstrosity left behind in the pots:

Perhaps I should have waited and entered this pitcher in the POTM...

I don't have anything (labeled at least) as Beerwah, but the plant has long since been killed by frost so neither here nor there at this point. They'll probably show up again next year somewhere...
Not particularly scarlet at the moment...

My P. parviflora seeds seem to have all failed on me recently, I would love to get it going again here.
So gloriously black...

And the ghost of pattern here near her tail are all that's left...
This plant is starting to sprout aerial and basal rosettes all over the place...I was hoping the overhead lights would trigger flowers especially since it triggered a couple intermediate pitchers...
Look at that, almost exactly one year...and the nutans is in bloom again. Probably won't get any seeds this round either... but still gonna try....

Haven't had seeds on hand any time recently, but after failure several years ago with my last seedling batch, we're trying again with something a little more established:...
After a grand failure 4 years ago...time to start again. This time, via seeds

I think a trip that far just to nab pollen would be a bit much...though I have gone and stored what "ANPA A" has produced. Should gigantea or laueana bloom here, there will be a hybrid. And I'll have...
We tip hats to bluemax for these...

This is probably most likely to end up in failure...but since I seem to be succeeding grandly with now all 3 of the perennial Byblis, I might as well try tackling the other touchy Mediterranean...
