    Tuberous Drosera Cuttings

    Hey all, Ran across this (below link) from the VCPS, wondering if anyone else has tried propagating tuberous species through cuttings. I have D. zigzagia flowering and waiting to strike from a leaf cutting at the moment. I'm curious about specifics on pollination, sowing, and cuttings for that...

    U. nelumbifolia stolon cuttings

    While extricating a division of U. nelumbifolia from a rather narrow necked glass vessel that I planted it in while it was much smaller, I accidentally ripped it into a bunch of pieces. One has some leaves and most of the stolon mass but there's also several 1.5'' or so pieces of stolon that...

    Damsels and Dragons

    Damselflies and Dragonflies (Darters) at Pleasley Pit Country Park. There were many more but the big Emperors and Hawkers just wouldn't settle. It was good to just sit and watch for a while as they gave us an aerial display.

    New from Missouri

    Hi, I just got a D. Capensis last months. It's my first-ever carnivorous plant. I bought it because it looks cool, nobody knows what they are (present company excluded) and it's a fantastic way to torture the hateful bugs my leopard gecko, Doc Connors, feeds upon. I have a deep abiding love of...

    What is your favorite ping?

    My favorite ping is agnata 'True Blue'. It has proven itself really hardy to me by being more vigorous than other species(or hybrids). Its flower is pretty cute too with a blue tinged blossom. It also likes to grow aerial roots everywhere(is that good or bad). So.... What's your favorite ping?

    A quick visit to Atlanta Botanic Gardens

    I went to ABG and met Ron Determann one of the heads of the gardens and an avid conservationist. He gave me a behind the scenes tour of their facilities and we had a great conversation about the CCPS and conservation. So without further ado here are what little pics I took with my iphone. I'll...

    U. humboldtii plant winner kulamauiman $35

    U. humboldtii plant This is a small plant from an aerial stolon from one of my larger plants. Plants from these original seedlings have been producing 'paddles' 4-7" high and about 1.5" wide. However, I do not know if this is truly their adult size. For whatever reason, this species is rarely...

    Utric blooms of spring

    It's been a very good spring for my plants as they've presented me with some flowers that I've never seen before (in person). I'll start with the flower of the month - U. longifolia ... .... and now my super surprise - U. nelumbifolia. I got some of these plants late last summer and never...

    Spider Mania

    I went to Storables and The Container Store today and picked up some great DIY Tarantula enclosures. 1.5 gallon Candy Jars for arboreal baby spiders through sub adults. Some mantids will probably live in a couple of them too. I can fit eight across the top of my CD and DVD shelves (gotta get...

    U. humboldtii assistance

    On Aug 10, I received 3 U. humboldtii plants growing together in a pot of live LFS. I separated them into their own pots - 2 into 100% live LFS and the other in a peat, live LFS, sand, aps mix. Since the repotting, all 3 plants have grown well - put up new leaves & 2 of the 3 have also put up...

    "It looks like a spider shamming dead . . ."

    While digging through some books the other day, I happened upon a very old illustrated collection of H.G. Wells stories I hadn't seen in years. Among The War of the Worlds, First Men in the Moon, When the Sleeper Wakes and The Country of the Blind, there were some odd rare short stories...

    Photo tour of my Andromischus collection

    Here's a photo tour of a strange succulent genus called Adromischus that I've been collecting. A botanist named Tolken (!) put them in with Crassula but I think the Adros are way cooler! Adromischus cristatus - you can't see it in the photo but there are aerial roots all up the stalk...

    Looking for Ficus

    Really strange I know... I am looking for specifically what is known as a Banyan Fig (Ficus benghalensis) but the main characteristic I am looking for is the mother plant's tendency to produce aerial roots. On that note if you have a picture of a mother Ficus that isn't benghalensis yet...

    Questions about unknown house plant...

    Hi everyone. I have had this houseplant for a couple of years now and it has gotten huge compared to when I first got it. Since then, it has grown two additional growth points and the mature points are now quite big and tall. First does anyone know the ID (sorry for the first blurry picture)? I...

    April Fools Day

    I know everybody has been waiting for my "joke" this year, but I've had a change of heart. Instead of spending my time on a way to fool everybody I spent it a way to entertain you for a few minutes. In other words I couldn't think of anything that everybody will believe. I am just going to post...
