A few days ago I was looking at some Utricularia australis I acquired in a recent trade and found that it was sprouting a new plantlet from a long stolon:
Here you can see the length of the stolons in relation to the plant:
I thought this was interesting because I have also seen this on...
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...
I have been asked for my growlist many times and I am really bad about keeping one so here goes (As of this posting this list is incomplete and only includes my Aldrovanda, Genliseas and Utricularias).

'Tis time to pay forward Paul's awesome giveaway from last week. To continue the generosity I am offering a starter "kit" of aquatic carnivores. I will include two or three strands of winter-hardy Aldrovanda, a sprig of Ultricularia inflata, and associated water plants to help level out the...
I have a tank full of Utricularia geminiscapa and I would like to trade some of it for other plants. It grows faster than Utricularia gibba for me and parts of it that break off from the stem readily turn into new plants. It also produces a lot of bladders, unlike my macrorhiza and inflata. I...
If you have any excess U. Inflata I am interested. I have several Sarrs to potentially trade, as well as other odds and ends: orchids, a bonsai tree, etc.
PM or email if interested.
I just wanted to share some photos of my Utricularia tank. The substrate is Flora-max mixed with a little peat moss at the bottom with RO water and no CO2 injection, so I don't grow Aldrovanda in here, although since it doesn't really have algae problems I'm considering adding CO2 and putting...
Has anyone had luck growing this plant? I've heard how difficult it is to keep alive. I used to have some but they just got smaller and smaller and faded away. When I received them, they hadn't broken up into pieces like they are said to do, but after several weeks in my tank they just all died...
Hi everyone,
I'm Howard. I've been getting back into carnivorous plants after a 3 year gap. I have a Nepenthes (not sure about the species) that I've had for almost 10 years.
Here's a list of plants I have acquired in the last few months:
Aldrovanda vesiculosa
Utricularia gibba
Utricularia...
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

For memorial day weekend the first CCPS meeting of the year was done in the coast near croatan and the wilmington area. The meeting was very nice and if you want to...
Over this coming summer I will be travelling all across NC in an attempt to photograph as many CP's in situ as possible, particularly Sarracenia. I am working on a book about the diversity of Sarracenia between the populations within NC as well as a field guide for even the most botanically...
All pictures are of my plants. Though some are a but dated and the plants much bigger now.
Sarracenia
S. leucophylla
S. leucophylla - Tarnok
S. leucophylla - Tarnok Hurricane Creek
S. leucophylla 'Schnell's ghost'
S. purpurea ssp. venosa
S. purpurea ssp. venosa #2

And if so could you post a picture or explain how to grow it. I would really like one (one day). I am trying to find information on them and not really having that much luck. Thanks in advance!
FT: Aldrovanda, Darlingtonia, Drosophyllum, Pinguicula
I have two six inch long Aldrovanda strands (plus a couple little 1-inchers), a six inch high coastal Darlingtonia, two 2 inch Pinguicula "weser", six 1/4 inch P. "sethos" and a dozen Drosophyllum seeds available for trade.
I will trade...
While trekking through through the wetlands surrounding the pond near my house I found large amounts of sphagnum moss. The area had very sandy soil, constant water, and lots of sun. It is a beautiful area, except it has been neglected greatly. There is trash everywhere, and people used the area...
Hi,
I just wanted to know how to make utricularia flower? This year with all the long strands of U. Inflata i have, none flower, in fact they didn't made those floating whorls that allows the, to float and release the flowestalk.
Is the same thing with terrestrial utrics such as U. Longifolia...
The proceeds from this year’s auction will be combined with last year’s to create maximum impact at the Boiling Spring Lakes Preserve, in cooperation with our friends at the Nature Conservancy. This site, on the outskirts of the town of Boiling Spring Lakes, NC, includes many lands immediately...
As the warm weather sets and summer coming within the next months, my plants already show good signs of growing well and they like how I''m keeping them! :)
Enjoy the pics! :)
(to see all the pictures, check out other forums, due to the limit that TF has, I was only able to post 60 pics of the...
Hello everyone,
before proceeding to look at the pics, I would like to share my experience and what I saw.... for being first time I was really pleased with what I saw and learned a lot. I have yet to see more areas in the souther NC counties. My future plan is to go somewhere around the Lake...
