collection

I recently hacked up the leggier nepenthes in my collection and made around 50 cuttings. Those cuttings are rooted and have developed growing points and it's time to start figuring out how to get rid of them. The plants represented are: - ventrata - ventricosa x gymnamphora (Leilani) -...

For my birthday, someone was kind enough to send two pings: Pinguicula moranensis and Pinguicula esseriana Now I have a collection of four, inculding P. cyclosecta and P. koehres. I planted them in the same all mineral substrate as my first two pings (70% turface 30% sand 0.05% Fe203) and...

It was sunny today so I figured I should take some of the plants out for photos. N. maxima 'Wavy Leaf': The horizontal pitcher at 6:00 was one of the originals that came with the plant when I got it 5 months ago, as was the now-dead one at 3:00. Quite long-lived pitchers. N. glabrata: This...

Hey everyone! Im a relatively new CP grower, i got my first plant 2 years ago and have been slowly adding to the collection via this amazing website and some other sources. But im having an issue with my pitcher plants, specifically my leucophylla. I dont remember seeing this last year(when I...

OK here's Fred with another wort. I have a couple of quarter trays with this fern in and can see immediately that it is super easy to identify in the wild. That's once you've knelt down on mud and decided that the mass of green growth isn't grass or reed and your high power loupe hasn't steamed...

In a never-ending quest to make more room in my GH for my CP collection, I'm starting to pare down extras and less desirable (to me, at least) non-CP: 1. Gasteria fuscopunctata - a large plant with lots of babies. Originally from the University of South Florida Botanical Garden in Tampa...

Okay, I try, I really do, to keep my plants labeled. But somehow in moving some plants to the new bog last year I must have lost one. This little guy, not many pitchers and only one flower is among the rubra collection. The sarrs I know are there are jonesii, jonesii f. heterophylla...

Today, I noticed a great deal of ants swarming about my Sarracenia. I was very surprised when I peered into an old purpurea pitcher from last year, and found this! It appears that my collection has been colonized by a group of Tetramorium caespitum. (Any ant taxonomists out there to confirm...

I'm giving away a 1" plug of each of the following: - U. chrysantha - U. livida - U. sandersonii (blue flowers) - U. uniflora So, basically: a yellow flower, a white one, a blue one, and a purple one. Each species has a very different flower shape as well. All four grow easily for me. U...

So many changes happening in my little garden and i'm a bit concerned. thanks for the input. This Sarracenia has weird bumps on them I am assuming this are from the sun? But i just want to be sure And this is just from the digesting of the insects? What are this white powder-ish looking...

I lost my plant a couple years ago and want to have it back to my collection recently. Anyone have extra plant for trade. I am also looking for P. heterophylla. Thanks

Sad to say my collection of Sarracenia species, dionaea and drosera were wiped out by the cold this past winter here in Vermont. The previous year I only lost one plant, this past year I think only 2 plants out of about 25 pulled through. I kept them high on a shelf in my attached but unheated...

Hi, many of my plants are doing well and reproducing. Thus in the spirit of spring and the genorosity shown to me over the years in the boards I'm doing a giveaway! The winning member will receive at least one plant of the following genera. Nepenthes, Drosera, Pinguicula, Sarracrnia...

Sarracenia leucophylla S. alabamensis that I had crossed with S. leucophylla Hurricane Creek, AL Not sure, probably S. alabamensis open pollinated. Was knocked off (either by wind mostly likely by birds) and found on ground. The culprit found in the S. leucophylla flower - larva and pupa -...

from Southern California. You all might know me from my famous work, Colchicine Treatment on Sterile Hybrid Sundews. That’s why they call me “Franken-Snyder”. I am still at it, although my monstrosity collection is much more modest these days.

Up for auction is, oh, a dozen or more Drosera adelae plants. Do you dream of having a fulminating mound of plants that constantly threatens to overtake every pot in your collection? Then bid aggressively. D. adelae is amazingly prolific in my conditions. Plant it in pure LFS in...

You are bidding on 1 packet of Drosera burmannii seeds from plants with location data of Humpty Doo, NT, Australia. This is my favorite form of my favorite carnivorous plant. If you feed it regularly (and it has an enormous appetite) it will grow remarkably quickly after germination (and...

OK, this is a nice treat. I have a very large dew I am offering up for auction. You are welcome to guess the id with your bid, but I'll neither deny nor confirm. If you happened to get one of these from me before or know the id PLEASE don't post it. The only hints I'll give is like I said it's a...

Opening Bid: $25 This is not an auction for everyone. It is, however, perfect for the East Coast US CP grower who (a) has a greenhouse and (b) lives within a reasonable (leaving the definition of "reasonable" up to you) driving distance of the Washington DC metro area and (c) wants a mature...

Pinguicula debbertiana This Mexican Pinguicula under good lighting conditions will take on a translucent pink color. Somewhat reminiscent of pastel cream candies. This was the plant that got me hooked on Mexican Pinguicula. It doesn't seem to be any more difficult to grow than the majority of...
