I am in the process of creating itineraries for different trips to see carnivorous plants in the wild here in the US. I'm designing the trips based on the wants of others as I likely will be leading groups of people to see these plants. They won't be able to collect seed, cuttings, or any plant...

So I spent a little over half of June and all of July of this year in Borneo and Australia. I flew quite literally, around the world and it was absolutely incredible. I flew from RDU to JFK where I spent eight hours sitting around on the airport floor. Then I flew directly to Frankfurt, Germany...

So late last year and into early this year I gave away hundreds if not thousands of hybrid Nepenthes seeds from hybrids that I was able to make because of pollen donated from both this community and a few others. The "donated by" refers to who gave me the pollen that made the crosses possible...

For those of you that couldn't make it to the conference this summer here is a pdf of my presentation. Sorry there is no audio attached and the file size is so enormous. Any questions, feel free to email me at the address given at the end of the pdf. Also keep in mind that this is my opinion...

One of the most exciting things to come out of the ICPS conference was the announcement of the CPSG (Carnivorous Plant Specialist Group). Currently the group is really in its infancy. To be precise the website was launched about two days before the conference. Rob Cantley's lecture at the...

I will be giving a lecture at the upcoming ICPS conference on Sarracenia and part of my lecture is discussing the definition of a species and how much variation is allowed within a species before a plant needs to be split into a new species. Too often people get the idea that a species...

Hey everyone, I'm working at Camellia Forest Nursery in Chapel Hill, NC and we are getting ready to release our new 2014 catalog which I did all the layout and design work for. If you or anyone you know would like help developing some sort of catalog I charge very reasonable rates and I...

Hey guys, so it is that time of year when the NCSU greenhouses need to be cleaned up some and I will be taking home dozens and dozens of cuttings of the confirmed FEMALE Nepenthes 'Rokko' they have had since the 1980s. This is one of the original plants from Japan when the original cross was...

For those of you that may be interested, one of my other hobbies is homebrewing. I'm still relatively new to it but last week I decided to embark on a pretty cool adventure... making Chicha de Jora! So the other night I stumbled upon the Chicha episode of Brewmasters via Netflix and seeing that...

Since this year's TF calendar contest only allows one entry I had a tough time choosing. Just so you all don't miss out on the other photos I was considering on entering here are my other entries. All these photos were taken in situ VFT Long Red Cilia, red banded outer by mcmcnair, on Flickr...

Howdy all! This thread is where I will be hosting a bunch of giveaways of freshly harvested hybrid Nepenthes seeds from the female Unknown hybrid living at the NCSU greenhouses which we have affectionately named Nepenthes "Wolfplant" our best guess for what the parents of The Wolfplant are...

Who all is going? I am and I'll be giving a lecture Sunday morning at 10am so be sure to be there!

So for those of you that I have not told already... This past Friday I was invited by a professor at UNC-Charlotte to come work on some research projects with him as a graduate school student. The goals of the project are 1) understanding natural genetic variation (including hybridization and...

Hey guys, So the CCPS recently received a ton of seedlings of Sarracenia minor with location data from Francis Marion National Forest from Dr. Larry Mellichamp, the creator of the Bug Series Sarracenia. We have so many that we're going to give a few away. If you want a chance to grow some of...

So I recently received a cutting of a beautiful N. x Briggsiana from Huntington Gardens and I don't know what clone it is. They told me the plant originally came from Leo Song. Excuse the no lids. All the pitchers didn't have them because kids tore them all off. Does anyone know what clone it is...

I recently received seeds of a very special hybrid of N. rajah x N. "rigidifolia". The N. rigidifolia is the Leilani rigidifolia which is known to not be the true species. Nonetheless this hybrid is sure to be a knockout. Here are pictures of the two parent plants. I do not claim rights to...
