The 13th Annual NECPS Show at the Tower Hill Botanical Gardens in MA is only days away! Last year's show was amazing - there were hundreds of plants for display and sale and well over 2000 people attended. This is the largest annual gathering of CP growers on the East Coast. If you're in the...
The NECPS finally decided to take some action on our very overgrown bog at the Roger Williams Botanical Center in Providence RI.
Here is the bog before the demo. It was extremely overgrown with grasses, sedges, ferns, oxalis and many other various weeds. Plants had just been stuck in there...

The NECPS and Tower Hill Botanic Garden are jointly planning to promote our 13th Annual Carnivorous Plant Show on September 10 & 11 next year. We are searching for a high resolution cp image that will be used for our huge posters, plentiful post cards and other media promoting the show.
We are...
Hello fellow NECPS members,
Unfortunately, I was out of town and unable to attend today's meeting, so beyond what was sent in the August newsletter and what's on the NECPS proboards, I have no idea how the September 5/6 show is going to run. Despite the fact that my collection is small and...
I spent this weekend visiting different CP sites throughout New England. The first stop was a failed attempt to see Pinguicula vulgaris in New Hampshire with Natch. The site is at the top of a large talus slope. We were able to get about 3/4 of the way up but then got stuck at a thick treeline...
I cross pollinated these 2 distinct clones of P.laueana last night. I'm 100% unsure of the lineage of either plant. I will post updates here as to the progress of the seed pods and any resulting seedlings that (hopefully) occur from the crossing.
This clone was purchased from an East Coast...

After speaking with several members here among other growers, I have realized that there are more misconceptions about successfully growing these plants than I had thought. I wrote the care sheet below last year for the NECPS members to use as a guide for their cultivation and I hope that it can...
That time of year is upon us again ! Time for the Annual NECPS Fall Carnivorous Plant Show ! Bring plants for show, bring plants for trade, bring yourself and have a great time at this weekend long bash !

I cannot take credit for the photos, my camera defaulted, a friend was kind enough to share photos with me in order to share with the community here... This place was so amazing! We had to Kayak out to see the floating stands of Sarracenia, Drosera and Utricularia. All this on top of the NECPS...
The New England Carnivorous Plant Society will be hosting our 1st annual pre show to our huge annual fall extravaganza on August 9th and 10th at Lake Street Garden Center in Salem New Hampshire ! All are invited to attend and encouraged to bring plants for public display ! Come if you can, it's...
Today the NECPS got together in western Massachusetts to visit a few of the local bogs. We toured 3 different sites in the region and saw some amazing plants.
Site #1. While the CP's we saw at this site were impressive, the orchids stole the show today.
The general habitat where all the...
Today a few of the NECPS members took a trip to a few bogs on the Cape. We visited 3 different locations, all somewhat close to each other yet all ecologically different.
Site # 1
The entrance road and habitats where we found the plants . A fairly dry site, very unique among New England bog...
Hello all,
The New England Carnivorous Plant Society has begun planning the annual fall show, Oct. 4-5 in Providence Rhode Island. We are in need of speakers and presenters for any and all carnivorous plant related topics from beginner to expert level material. If you've got an idea that you'd...
This past Saturday we had one of our most interesting meetings to date. Mat Opel was kind enough to host our June meeting at the UCONN greenhouses which he oversees and maintains. Here are some pitiful pics of a small part of their collection.
Greeting you right at the door of the Life Sciences...
Edit: This offer is closed. After selling a couple Rokko cuttings to pay for housing, I decided to donate the rest of these extras to friends who didn't have such luck with rooting cuttings, the NECPS, UNH, and a few others.
Hey Everyone:
I am offering, on behalf of the NECPS, a large flat rate box's worth of Nepenthes x ventrata and Nepenthes 'Miranda' cuttings. I cut these yesterday (Friday, April 12, 2014) afternoon at UNH's greenhouse for the NECPS. Dave S., our President, elected to share the wealth and have...
Hey Everyone:
I somehow missed the flower on the stalk, but my Genlisea hispidula bloomed. I've taken a couple shots of the flower on the floor of the terrarium:
I'm not entirely sure how I missed the bloom; it must be very short lived. I've been checking every morning and evening and...
I bought a few N. villosa seedlings from a vendor at our 2013 Annual NECPS Show last year. I have them growing in live LFS with temperatures around 50F at night under T5 and LED lights. All of the yellow N. villosa seedlings are pictured below were labeled to be from Mt. Kinabalu...
