    Help for a beginner having trouble?

    I got my first nepenthes, a reinwardtiana (highland red) around July 4th: I filled the pitchers with a few drops of distilled water. The brown spots and the small yellow leaf concerned me so I sent an email to the seller, but never got a reply. I also found a single scale on a fallen leaf...

    Drosera trouble shooting

    I just moved everything to a new set up by necessity, and I am having problems with a number of plants I have not had trouble with before. New set up is a wire shelf wrapped in panda film (4 sides), lit with 4 2' T5 lights. Air movement/cooling by small computer fan. Temps low to high 80's...

    Coquillage: all that it's cracked up to be?

    I have some extra money on hand and I thought of possibly getting a coquillage venus fly trap, but I have a few questions. First, how is coquillage pronounced? Second, do they grow those unique traps consistently? Thanks.

    N. Ventrata unrooted vine #2

    Hi, Since the other N. Ventrata vine lasted about 5 minutes I'm willing to trade a 12 node ventrata vine from my other plant. This form has a very pronounced peristome and larger pitchers (6 or so inches), it also has a growing point coming off of the side. I will be happy to trade for any...

    Goodyera pubescens

    I'm offering a single specimen of this eastern US native orchid. Plant is currently in a 4" round plastic nursery pot, but for shipping purposes it will be removed. I will send it bare root or with the loose media at the winner's discretion. Although it's flowers aren't very showy, the dark...

    Capensis varieties and locality list.

    These are all the varieties that I have seen or researched, this is a fully up to date list, and I hope many of you find it helpful. Nearly all varieties are unofficial, some not well described, and others hardly described at all. So far 'Albino' is the only variety with an official status...

    Shot in the dark ID

    One of my girlfriends clients gave her a leaf from a plant he has a while back. The guy grows some stuff with medicinal qualities like aloe, etc. and this is believed to be one of those. Anyway I stuck it in some water and have a few small plants months down the line that look like this: <a...

    Big, Bad D. capensis

    I'm going to use this thread to photodocument my breeding program of D. capensis. I have been working on this species for 5 years. My original goal was to mash all of the genetic diversity I could into a handful of plants, and then see what came out of it. I feel that D. capensis is a great...

    Today the Cutterpup has stopped running

    Being born with a heart murmur didn't stop Cutter from doing things most dogs could only dream of. He hiked, went rock climbing and backpacked, wearing his own pack. He passed his CGC at the age of four months, home schooled. In obedience class he was valedictorian. He was equally at home...

    nepenthes pitchers don't seem to match the tag

    I received this plant in trade a long time ago. I was told it's a sanguinea purple. Now it has finally made a pitcher and I'm wondering if it may have been mislabeled. The shape seems right, and it has a lid spur much like a typical sanguinea, but I thought the coloration would be more solid...

    Sarracenia ID?

    I got this plant 3 years ago from a grab bag of random rhizomes on eBay and I still have no clue as to what it exactly is. I cross-pollinated it with a S. x mooreana last year and I'd like to update the tag for my seedlings. Some observations: It doesn't grow phyllodia in the the fall...

    Could anyone help with these Sarracenia hybrids?

    I know that Sarracenia hybrids are among the most difficult to identify due to the possibility of nearly all members of the genus crossing with one another, but could anyone help me to try and identify my two hybrids? Both hybrids are frost tolerant and grow well in full sun. Hybrid #1: This...

    Elegant pitchers...

    Thought I'd drop by and share a photo or two of some beautiful pitchers to y'all. Yes, we all want a toothy peristome nep. Yes, we'd like a candy striped peristome too. Or maybe, a wine shaped pitcher with astonishing colouration. But, I sometimes find simplicity to be the most beautiful trait...

    Veitchii beginning to spread its wings

    I suppose instead of wings, i should have said peristome. That grand N. veitchii peristome, much like a ship's sail, needs enough to material to truly show its best potential. That is why i'm quite excited that a couple of my N. veitchii varieties have finally turned that corner and are...

    Tuberous Drosera Question-

    So- in the wild, tuberous drosera go dormant during the hot, dry Summers and then grow during the mild, wet Winters. In cultivation, a plant's climate is normally mimicked for them to grow propperly, but how neccessary is HEAT in tuberous drosera dormancy? Where I live, the average daily...

    Is this an Intermediate Pitcher?

    So this is a photo of the newest picture from a Miranda cutting I received from Kristoff maybe a year ago. It's substantially bigger than all of the previous ones, and the peristome, instead of being red like the others, now has clearly pronounced stripes on it. Is this what an intermediate...
