attempted

So I have never attempted to grow anything from seed before; but, thanks to one of Tropics NOID nep giveaways I was lucky enough to receive "a few." I've heard it sometimes takes a while for seeds to germinate and start to grow, but what do they actually look like when they first start? The...

I'm sure most of you have heard by now about Lisa Nowack, the austronaut who was arrested for "thinking" about murdering her lovers' girlfriend, or whoever that other woman was. Well over the weekend, a restaurant close to the space center in FL decided to raise money for Lisa Nowack and saying...

More computer bad news, though. My pc was making these odd noises a few days ago, like it had a bad connection and it sounded as if it was shutting down / starting up. A day later, while typing up an Email, it froze and had to be shutdown with the power button. But when I restarted, it went into...

hello, recently I've attempted a HTML tutorial and "it was Greek to me". So I've decided to ask around the forums to see if any of you could help to somewhat clarify it for me. the reason that I'm trying to do this is so I can make the NFCPS or the North Florida Carnivorous Plant Society...

Today, I was just happily riding my bike to the nearest Rite-Aid, and was coming up to the parking lot where cars come out. I saw a car coming out of there, trying to turn onto the road. I assumed he saw me, because he was not moving for at least 20 seconds for him to see me. I began to bike...

I was going through my plants today, just checking up on them then I saw what appeared to be 1 trap eating another so I attempted to pull them apart and to my freakish surpise, and a little horrific, I saw this: It even caught a fly which is even cooler. I've never seen this kind of...

Well last night I went into rapid detox due to attempting to log on to the forums and getting a 404 page. A 404 page! Cold sweat, shakes, desperate web searches. This is not acceptable. I need my fix. So .......... what brilliant idea was attempted that brought down the forums for hours on...

our July and August is usually a pretty solid 2 months of over 90 degrees 6 days a week. anyone attempted to cook tricolor into flowering? bake at 100 for 4 weeks and *DING* flowering? im going to flower this SOB if its the last thing i do

I received a bunch of VFT's, recently. One plant's leaves came apart during unpacking, so I placed the leaves in my tray of live LFS, in the hopes of springing up new plants. A couple weeks have gone by and I saw that the leaves are still green and one of the traps is still open. For the lark of...

My wife's laptop recently died. Specifically, the screen ceased funtioning. My oldest son also has a laptop with that problem. In the meantime, when we moved, in December, our old desktop Gateway, along with monitor and keyboard got stored in the attic. So I brought them down and hooked them up...

OK, so this thread is going to double as two things. First of all, it's to say that I'm going to be gone for the next couple of days (I'll come home late monday probably,) so if I don't reply to PMs, then know that this's why and that I'll get replies sent out ASAP when I get back. On to the...

A few months ago a renegade Drosophyllum seed from Elgecko's collection appeared in one of my pots. At first I wasn't sure what it was or how it got there, but eventually it was determined that it was in fact a Drosphyllum seedling that basically dropped in my lap, so to speak. A shortwhile...

Hey everyone, This is my first topic as a new member. I just got into growing CP's and I would very much like to grow cobra lillies outside in Lakeland, Florida if at all possible. The humidity is always high here, however the temperatures are usually very hot. Average Summers: High - 95F...

.These are seeds of the Western Snowberry shrub, Symphoricarpos occidentalis. Western Snowberry is a thicket forming, root-sprouting shrub 1 to 3+ feet tall with upright or slightly spreading branches. If left to its own devices, it will choose to become a dense thicket. Clusters of pinkish...

I hate blogs but this is pretty cool! Nick Busey is attempting to switch to a Uberman sleep schedule (Wikipedia - "...a sleep pattern specification intended to compress sleep time to 2-5 hours daily. This is achieved by spreading out sleep into short (around 20-45 minute) naps throughout the...

Edit *** Plant has found a new home - thanks to all who offered trades **** Ron I need to free up some space as some of my other leaf cuttings have sprouted new growth (and I have no plans to add additional grow-out tanks). Up for trade is a small (but vigorous) clone of a Cephalotus...

I've had 2 D. paradoxa plants flowering for the past 2 weeks or so. Rather than flower every day, they seem to almost alternate with maybe both flowering together every 2 or 3 out of 5 days. My question: is there any harm (or benefit) to removing the flowers that do not get fertilized? Since...

Just wanted to share a picture of the first flower that my P. gypsicola has given me. I have attempted to pollinate the flower by hand so I will have to wait and see if I get seed. and a picture of the actual plant
