Hi folks - It has been... probably at least 6 years since I last was active here. I am finally at a place where I feel like I can pick up the hobby again, so pretty excited. I am starting off with some of my favorite Sarracenia and will have a handful of windowsill plants. Anyway, I've...

Life has settled down a bit and I divided plants today. I have about 7 medium to large Sarracenia alata from Stone County, MS which can get a nice red in the fall. I also have a massive Sarracenia catesbai with about 4 mature growthpoints. I am looking for mature Venus fly traps and temperate...

Hello all - Life is getting busy and I no longer have time to care for my indoor plants. I have lots of adult Pinguicula and several other plants such as cephalotus and Heliamphora. At this point I want to give most of them away... just need someone, hopefully local to San Antonio, that is...

I am looking for 5-10 Drosera filiformis var. tracyii or a combination of tracyii and the "florida all red" variety. PM me and we'll see what we can work out... I have Sarracenia to trade and Pinguicula. Phil

I am dealing with what I suppose is a good problem to have... my pings are out of control. Every species has 2-4 full grown specimens, and they flower 24/7. Upkeep is getting too much and I prefer a single, mature plant anyway. Is there a way to discourage division?

Hi everyone - It has been ages since I did algebra and I am having a hard time solving for this. Can you please assist? I figured this should be easy since there are so many smarties that use the board. Formula: =ROE(b)/[1-ROE(b)] ROE = 0.18135 (I am solving for b) If you wouldn't mind...

I was able to get a couple of plant excursions while on vacation with my wife... she is a good sport! Long Island: <a href="http://s294.photobucket.com/albums/mm112/Baylorguy81/?action=view&current=P1000734.jpg" target="_blank"><img...

I'm currently on vacation and in my spare time managed to find several populations of Drosera intermedia and Drosera rotundifolia on Long Island, New York. Also one of Sarracenia purpurea and Drosera filiformis. The next leg of our trip is Martha's Vineyard and I can't seem to find any...

I need some help troubleshooting something. I have an RO system... and when water goes through it, it comes out at about 10 ppm. I have been using it in the trays outside for my giant mini bogs. I took the reading this morning and all 3 ranged from 50 ppm to 75 ppm. Any ideas what could have...

Well, I just lost my favorite flava ornata clone from Prince George Co, VA. I dug it up because I noticed the phyllodia were turning brown along with the main growth point. Sure enough, the entire rhizome was mush. My excellens giant is not looking good either (see attached pictures). Is it...

Ok, random question regarding Sarracenia and phyllodia. Does everyone here just keep them until they turn brown? At what point (if any) should I clip them? All of my bogs are sending up their first flush of pitchers and also flowers, but look very crowded due to phyllodia everywhere. Just...

I figure this is a long shot but was wondering if anyone has Sarracenia 'Alucard'? If you do please PM me and maybe we can work something out. Phil

Updated with pictures. Let's see some others. I know I am not the only one with flowers... x2 Sarracenia alata Stone Co, MS x1 Sarracenia 'Leah Wilkerson' (If you look you can also see pitchers coming up with the flowers) x1 Sarracenia flava var. ornata Bay County, FL x1 Sarracenia...

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried feeding this to CPs. I have been using the freeze dried bloodworms but I always have a bad allergic reaction. I read the back of each container and they both have roughly the same breakdown of nutrients. I crushed some and fed it to my Drosera and...

Hi everyone - I got some shots of a mantis last year and wanted to see what type it is. I actually had 3 hang out around my Sarracenia for a few weeks. One was green and the other two were this dark brown. They are so cool! What do you think?

I recently got a new camera and played with it a bit today. Here are some random pics <a href="http://s294.photobucket.com/albums/mm112/Baylorguy81/?action=view&current=P1000056.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm112/Baylorguy81/P1000056.jpg" border="0"...

My wife and I are planning a trip to Italy in about a year and we want a solid camera that is very good all around quality. In terms of my use... I want to be able to get very detailed and high quality close ups of my plants. We also want one that will take solid video with sound. My...

I am going to be flying out to San Francisco the first week of March for business and figured I would make a small vacation of it. I am interested in seeing some native California carnivorous plants and was wondering if anyone knows of state parks or protected sites that I could visit? Of...
