attempted

I have attempted to create a list of all the known and currently recognised species of Nepenthes.  Of course this list is by no means complete or even exhaustive, but it does give a rough idea of the number of species known.  Please let me know if I have missed any species out, or if you have...

Last year I was given a packet of S. alata seeds and I was successful in sprouting them within a month. I have 4 sets of Sarr. seeds that stratified for 3 months and attempted germination, in moist media and covered. It has been several weeks now, and they neither mold nor germinate. Today, I...

Approx. 10 D. regia seeds that I purchased from Mr. Allen Lowrie a couple of months ago. Have never attempted this seed before so wouldn't know what to expect as to germination rate. Was going to give it a try but have many things going on at the moment and wouldn't have the time to give them...

my Sumatran red blood python showed up today. it hatched out a couple of months ago and can eat adult mice.....when i got my recently hatched spotted pythons i had a heck of a time finding pinky mice small enough for them to swallow. its a nice change. 4 year old spotteds and 3 month old blood...

Today was a sunny day, so i attempted to do a cloooose up pic of my VFT. I'm not sure what form this is, so identification would aslo be appreciated. Hope you like it Dave

Aside from the VFT's I successfully put through dormancy and other plants that only "slow down" during the winter, this is my first full year of attempted dormancy / slowing down. My ventricosa is bombproof and I was a bit spoiled, but I have received a few cuttings from a couple of friends...

So my ten gallon aquarium has a spider plant, Nep. alata, two Dro. capensis, and a Sar. flava ornata under two two-foot bulbs. I've got Darlingtonia sprouting soon (knock on wood,) some other seedlings coming by mail, and Cephalotus seeds to think about - and those are just my carnivores. So...

Hello all, I'd like to start by thanking all of those who provided me with information on how to properly grow Aldrovanda--you gave me personal suggestions and hints that I probably wouldn't have found on an online site. Now, for the background. I purchased some Aldrovanda 'Kimberly Red' ~6wks...

ok.. I know this is a bloody lame-o story, but its 131 am and I don't have anythhing better to do (besides tonights history homework which I'm putting off until two) my brother (a.ka. captaindrosera or alan) got suspended yesterday for fighting ... so heres the story 1. I have a friend named...

On Saturday we embarked on a vacation to New York State. My wife is from Western New York and I am from Long Island. We met and married in Buffalo. I took off work from my Saturday job at Home Depot. I needn't have. It took all day to do laundry, pack, and run errands. I just got back from my...

woah, i recently read this article and it kind of scares me.... Heterophobia Treat them as you want to be treated There is a new threat to the already volatile relationship between the GLBT community and greater society. A growing backlash against the straight population, is found in...

hi, I just wanted to know whether somebody has attempted to grow rajah and villosa as intermediates. I know that these are difficult to grow, but if i can only grow them in intermediate conditions, which of the two would you choose. would it survive intermediate conditions? anybody's point of...

Hi, I am very new to CP's, having killed all four of my VFT's in my youth (tapwater, lighting, air circulation, & flowering). I swore I'd never buy another one. Then I saw a batch of VFT's at Home Depot and did a spontaneous thing. That owas in June. The plant has doubled its leaf trap size...

Having run out of Nepenthes monographs to spend my hard earned money on, I've had to turn to other natural history books to cure my reading addiction. I just picked up an interesting looking book today. It's written by a pair of biologists (George and Roberta Poinar) who've spent some time...

HELP!!! My little experiment with grape seeds has gone hog wild. I have a couple of you on the list for bulbs and plants to be sent out in the fall and they will get some of these. (plants by then.) I attempted to cultivate 250 wild grape seeds, at least half have already germinated. Its only...

Admittedly, I'm very new to the CP world, be default. The proverbial friend handed down to me two gawd-awful plastic terrariums. Mind you, I've always held a profound interest in CP's, yet never felt I held within my power (muwhahahaha) the ability to provide the specific environments, etc. As...

i have just recieved Drosera multifida "Extrema" seeds from Pyro (Thanks man!! ) and i have attempted to search the carnivorous plant database for Drosera multifida "Extrema" and cannot seam to find information on dormancy. stratification... etc. etc. can anyone please take me threw the search...

Hey y'all, Does anyone have advice for shipping terrestrial utrics, specifically sandersonii? I got mine at a cp meeting, so it wasn't shipped to me. I attempted to get some from somebody, they were shipped with a bit of moist soil and wrapped in a paper towel, finally wrapped loosely with...

Hello all,   As I am more versed in other areas of CPs, I thought I'd run this idea by you all.  What I want to do, is create a little mini potted bog.  I have a window box that is about 1.5+ feet by .5+ feet. I was hoping to add a whole bunch of temperate CPs to it, and turn it into a...

I suppose most peoples Sarracenias are flowering about now. But not me! Since I grow mine outside in Missouri, they take a little while to finally get into gear for the year. My tallest stalks are only around 4" so far, and many are just breaking out of the rhizome. I was planning on doing a...
