Hey all I am currently working in Darwin in the north of Australia and spend most of my weekends messing around in the sandy swamps around a place called Howard Springs. Allen Lowrie did a trip up here way back in 1991 when he discovered Byblis aquatica and there are several species of Drosera...

Allen Lowrie's Carnivorous Plants of Australia: Magnum Opus (2013) lists some 241 species of carnivorous plants at the time of publication. 163 of those are Drosera. Of these 29 are newly named. Some are new species formally described for the first time. Some were renamed as the "true" species...

Australian Drosera in Cultivation Allen Lowrie's Carnivorous Plants of Australia Magnum Opus at time of publication Dec. 16, 2013 listed some 241 species. Many of these were new species or reassignment of ranks (subspecies or varieties). A few had been in cultivation before even having been...

I've been anxiously awaiting the release of this 3 volume set of books since I heard they were coming out. Last week I broke down and ordered the set. When I got home today, the books were here waiting for me. I knew these were going to be good but, I had no idea they would be THIS good ! I've...

There are old threads addressing results from orders placed with Allen Lowrie but they are mixed in opinion and over 5 years old. I'm guessing that some here have more recent experiences and if so I would very much appreciate hearing what you think. His catalog is a beguiling list of rare and...

So.. the time has come that I need to trim down my collection.. And the finicky indoor growing stuff needs to be cut back... I've decided to focus down to just some specific groups and tuberous just doesnt fit in with my plans. As these are still actively growing, i'm not shipping them.. And I...

I wanted to gauge if there was any interest in placing an order from Allen Lowrie. I am interested in some seeds from him, however, his flat rate shipping is a bit outrageous for my small order. I have his latest catalog if one would like to peruse it.

Is this Scrophulariaceae species practicing carnivory? Is this Linderniaceae species practicing carnivory? Allen Lowrie and I have been working on breeding a large selection plant species, many of which do not always relate directly to this CP forum but if you grow carnivorous plants the...

Cultivation of pygmy Drosera Jan Flísek and Kamil Pásek Pygmy Drosera comprise up a peculiar group that include the smallest sundews - small growth is a typical characteristic of this group. Most pygmy Drosera are found in southwestern areas of Western Australia. Only D. pygmaea is found in...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone out there has Allen Lowrie's current CP pricelist. If so, I'm wondering if it would be possible to get a copy.... Many thanks!

Hello All, Well in my opinion I must say that there's something suspicious about Mr. Lowrie's recent Byblis photos. The link to his publicly posted Forum photos can be found here; http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=31873&pid=245236&st=0&#entry245236 Firstly, any Byblis I've...

Hey guys, First off, THANKS JEFF! Anyway haha, I was wondering how the sundews and assorted stuff Jeff imported from Australia is coming along for you guys. So far, my tuberous 'dews are just starting to peak through the sand. The following are "visable": D. gigantea D. aff. tubastylis (ill...

Hello, I am fairly new to growing plants from seed, and am trying to do a lot more of it. Please tell me, can you still buy seed from Allen Lowrie? All the ref.'s I see to doing so are from pre-2000. I have scoured the forums for references but... Please clue me in! Can someone post the contact...
