More Portland Presence!

[Cactusdan]

Hey all,

I noticed there's a few of you in here from around the Portland, OR area, so I'll be one more to the party!

Scatterpants and I are good friends and have been feeding each others plant addictions the last few months, particularly in the CP/orchid area.

While he tends to focus more on sub-tropical Pings I'm much more interested in temperate carnivores!

Here's my current list!

-American Pitcher Plants-
Sarracenia 'Dana's Delight'
Sarracenia flava x alata
Sarracenia flava x purpurea
Sarracenia leucophylla 'Tarnok'
Sarracenia 'Scarlet Belle'
Sarracenia 'Yellow Jacket'

-Nepenthes Pitchers-
Nepenthes spathulata x petiolata

-Australian Pitchers-
Cephalotus follicularis 'Typical'

-Bladderworts-
Utricularia bisquamata

-Bog Orchids (planted in bog garden)-
Calopogon tuberosus

-Butterworts-
Pinguicula 'Gina'
Pinguicula moranensis

-Cobra Lily-
Darlingtonia californica

-Sundews-
Drosera anglica x tracyi 'Southern Cross'
Drosera intermedia
Drosera tokaiensis x rotundifolia

-Venus Fly Traps-
Dionaea muscipula 'Akai Ryu'
Dionaea muscipula 'Dente'

Anyhow, looking forward to getting more involved on these boards. Seems like a great resource!

Cheers

Welcome fellow Oregonian! Looks like you have a good start on your collection too.

Hey its one of my favorite people! Don't be fooled by his lack of pictures folks, Cactusdan is a bonafide plant wizard.

 

[nimbulan]

Pretty sure I need photographic evidence of wizardry.

Welcome, New person of terraforums
So you know, the more proper term for Asian pitchers would be nepenthes since two species live in Madagascar and many species live in the islands around asia and I've heard of at least one nepenthes from Australia, but I'm a stickler.

Anyway, here's one more welcome

Welcome to TF, Cactusdan! That is quite a grow list. I'm guessing you have heard about our monthly Portland area meetings?

Ah, you are entirely correct! I had changed it elsewhere, but the list I copied from must still have it as "Asian". Updated!

Some photo evidence!

Drosera intermedia 'temperate'

Darlingtonia californica

Cephalotus follicularis (This guy took a big hit after shipping and doesn't look so glamorous ATM)

D. m 'Dente' with a spidery snack
