As some of you know, I am currently in Charlotte, and will be visiting many plant places. Some include: UNCC NCBG David Crump's Boiling Springs Lake and Atlanta Botanical Gardens. Let's start with David Crumps! Bog Witch Yellow Jacket Gulfensis Green Leuco x Oreo Waxy Rosea...

So I'm thinking about going up to Northern California/ Southern Oregon the week of the 20th of June and poking around to find some Darlingtonia sites. The following Saturday is the BACPS Summer Show and Sale, which would be perfect timing to hit that up before returning back home to San Diego...

I just dropped by the gardens yesterday - it was a bit cloudy/rainy so some aren't the best, but it was still beautiful. Enjoy!! (oh, and the sarr and vft pots are in a special back room for propagating wild plants to return back to their original habitats once they get going) The outdoor...

I have a well rooted cutting of the "Atlanta Giant" for trade. It is rare clone of Briggsiana that only a dozen cuttings/ plants have been circulated in the CP world. I am looking for a good size plant or a rooted cutting of N. hurrelliana. Please PM me for trade. Thanks, Jeff

Hello! I'm brand new to carnivorous plants and rapidly becoming obsessed with Nepenthes. I've already ordered a copy of Savage Garden, expected to arrive sometime next week, and have been reading online all week. Anyway, I'm working on researching some intial Nepenthes plants to start my...

Let's start with some unusual hybrids. N. eyvelospama (N. (eymae x veitchii) x (lowii x (spathulata x maxima)). The peristome starts out a little stripey but quickly gets this solid bronze color. The next leaf and tendril are MUCH bigger so I'm looking forward to a big next pitcher. Here's...

I suspect that a significant percentage of the 'Hummer's Giant' Cephs being grown are typicals. Why? 1 - similar to non-mutation VFTs, there is no way to differentiate one Cephalotus clone from another with absolute certainty 2 - HG Cephs command a higher premium than typicals (sometimes...

Having seen somewhere that Pyro had kept a U. reniformis outside during an Atlanta summer, I figured it would be worth a shot here in central NJ. I knew I would need to watch it closely & just hoped that it wouldn't collapse without warning (like D. schizandra sometimes does in the heat). Last...

Dave Barry Year in Review: Bailing out of 2008 BY DAVE BARRY How weird a year was it? Here's how weird: • O.J. actually got convicted of something. • Gasoline hit $4 a gallon -- and those were the good times. • On several occasions, Saturday Night Live was funny. • There were a few days...

Okay, I have 21 packs of unknown parentage Sarr seed. I just took all the blooms in my bog that I had not personally pollenated and mixed all the seed together then packaged them out. Lots of fun potential in these. Check my growlist to see all my Sarrs or search the Sarr forum for some of my...
