Hello Just a quick greeting. I have been recently introduced to CP's through the UNCC gardens and Dr. Mellichamp. I just started this spring, picked up Savage Garden and constanltly refer to it. My collection is still small, but I grow outdoors see photos below. Love the sarracenias and...

I got this "variety" of N. maxima from a certain vendor out in Hawaii. They state that this variety is from the Atlanta Botanical Garden. Does anyone have any other information about this plant? So far it looks like a regular maxima...

I am going to UGA this fall to major in horticulture. I have visited the campus several times and I'm on good terms with the people that manage the botanical collection greenhouses. If I'm lucky, I may get personal grow space in one of the greenhouses on campus. If I get space in the UGA...

A few months ago I took a container bog class at the Atlanta Botanical Garden - namely because for a $30 class you get to around $60 worth of plants to take home. Anyway, I asked the instructor about fungicide treatment for container bogs - which mine tend to be prone too this time of year as...

I just got an internship at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, home to the USA's largest CP collection. The internship is through my high school's TAG program and I get school credit for the internship. My supervisors at the ABG told me my first assignment involved the Atlanta Botanical Gardens'...

I am located in metro Atlanta and have found D. rotundifolia impossible to grow. I got plants descended from a population in massachussets (assuming they were more heat-tolerant than the pacific northwest-derived plants). In fear of them growing during the fairly mild Georgia winter, I...

Today I was preening my patio bogs when I noticed several very odd things. First, I noticed that my S. leucophylla, which has never flowered in the 5 years I've had it, has a flower growing now - at the end of September! I also noticed that there are seedling sundews and VFTs growing all over...

I have all of this TC material and not enough space/time for all of it so here is what I would like to do (I have cleared this with Andrew so please no one go reporting me to him as violating the rules. This is not a sale.) As some of you know, I have contacts at Atlanta Botanical. Instead of a...

It had been so long since I had accessed at this site, I needed to re-register. I have just accepted a position as Lead Horticulturist and Quarry Garden Curator (3 acres of native plants) at the Atlanta History Center. I'll be eager to establish contact with CP people in that region. I will also...

Hi Everyone, Thought it's about time that I do the old introduce myself thing. I live in Cartersville, GA, which is about 50 miles northwest of Atlanta up I-75. I am a computer network engineer. I currently grow VFTs and Sarrs, and have just added a Nep and Ping for the fun of it. The VFT...

Hi all, Just got the new schedule of events from the ABG, and they have a lecture I'm going to try to get to. It's a freebie, which is even better. Peter D'Amato is going to be there Thursday September 20 at 7:30pm. It's free and don't need to make reservations for seating. This will also...

Hi, everyone. I'm Caleb from Atlanta, GA, a city planner with a secret passion for bug-eating plants :) I've been lurking on here for a while, but have not formally introduced myself, so I'm doing so now. I've been into CP since around the third grade, when I did a report on venus fly traps...

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, but I've looked through about 20 pages of the forum and haven't found an answer yet. It is spring and my pitcher plan container bogs are coming out of dormancy quite nicely, with one disturbing exception - my s. leucophylla. For some reason...

http://atlantabotanicalgarden.org/site/involvement/bbkp_overview I am planning a road trip this summer, perhaps early June, with my kids to go to Atlanta to visit my parents. IIRC, some of our members are in the Atlanta area, and I think at least one works at the Gardens? It would be great to...

Hey All, For anyone in the area, Atlanta Botanical is having an exhibit right now called "Big Bugs, Killer Plants" and as you can probably guess it is going to feature a bunch of CPs. The exhibit runs through October IIRC so you have time if you are from out of state but may be in the area...

I want to ask all of you who have Sarracenais it share your experiences with this. I noticed this a few years ago but I really was struck by it this year as the flowers began to come up. Is it me or do the flowers face south? now, not all of them do but a majority of mine do. I wonder if this is...
