I don't know if this has already been posted, but apparently a new species was discovered in Cape York by Charles Clark "and a colleague" (Chien C Lee?). Anyway, here is a link to the article. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/01/22/2143809.htm EDIT: New Species not discovered! PSYCHE...

I'll make a confession that I'm not a CP nut although my latest research may say otherwise. I've been thinking about using terrestrial utrics as a groundcover plant in my aquarium. An aquarium plants company has done this with U. graminifolia successfully. If you haven't seen the photo: and...

For the past two years, I've been growing Aldrovanda in my planted aquariums; I started with 5 strands, now I have more than 100 (and I've traded or given away about that much also). The Aldrovanda I grow is from Darwin, Australia, it is tropical and does not require dormancy. I received it as...

Ever wanted to try growing Aldrovanda? Here's your chance. I have handfuls of the stuff, I grow it in my planted aquariums. It is a tropical form from Darwin, Australia, which I received from a reputable source (a plant biologist from UConn). I've been growing this for about 3 years now, it...

I got this plant for free from my trip to endo-doc's house yesterday, he said "if they die, they die, don't worry about it". But I won't let them die without a FIGHT! D. falconeri is a really cool plant, I was going to bid for it in the NASC auction (and lose other plants I wanted :() but I...

I'm so silly and crazy... I got this plant for free from my trip to endo-doc's house yesterday, he said "if they die, they die, don't worry about it". But I won't let them die without a FIGHT! D. falconeri is a really cool plant, I was going to bid for it in the NASC auction (and lose other...

I have up for auction two cephalotus plants. The one on the left is a division of the Hummers Giant, and the one on the right is a plant I grew from seed acquired from Phill Mann in Australia a few years back. It is anybody's guess as to what the seed grown plant will turn out to be when it gets...

I made a huge growing error in 2 plants that took me a long time to track down. I had them brought in from Australia, and I killed them both. :crap: I had them over a year and a half and was very careful how I watered them because I had them in undrained pots. Well as you can guess from that...

Junk Science: Light Bulb Lunacy Sunday, April 29, 2007 By Steven Milloy How much money does it take to screw in a compact fluorescent lightbulb? About $4.28 for the bulb and labor — unless you break the bulb. Then you, like Brandy Bridges of Ellsworth, Maine, could be looking at a cost of...

Does anyone watch vlogs? One of my things I like to do is watch vlogs on youtube. Like from Arabic people or Irish people or Australian people. It's REALLY cool to learn about other cultures. I have to look up words like haraam and halaal and.. dowry and jummah. It's pretty cool though. Right...

Alright so I think this cutting is N. fusca, but I dont have an ID yet. Here are some pics. Let me know if you agree with me. I took this cutting a few months back from a wholesale nursery. They're the big commercial CP supplier in Eastern Australia and used to have an impressive nepenthes...

This plant I started from seed that I got from Phill Mann in Australia. Out of the hundreds of seedlings that I started a few years ago only a few have shown this funny hook in the side ribs on the pitcher. As the plant grows, it seems to show better with each new pitcher. I do have another...
