I got some tubers last winter from a guy in Australia. This plant was still on the southern hemisphere time clock. The pictures were taken during the summer here. I kept them in my basement where it was cool. It produced nice healthy tubers for me, and is starting to grow again for me now. I...

Looking for highland neps. If anyone has any spares or cuttings and feel like trading please contact me by PM. Can trade with all countries exept the US and Australia. Because those countries needs paper work to export.

Hi all. I'm looking for some seeds of any D. burmanni types other than the all green form, so basically any with some red in it, such as Drosera burmannii from Evans Head, NSW, Australia. I'm not going with the ICPS because I don't know if I'll get a red D. burmannii. D. sessifolia works too...

Firstly, an apology to those using dial-up. The following fieldtrip occurred over the past weekend and of the 400+ photos that were taken, I was only able to knock the total down to around 80. It may take awhile to get through these if you have a slow connection. This is by far the longest post...

This has got to be the number one most misspelled piece of location form data. The plant comes (correct me if I'm wrong) from Fraser Island, off the coast of Australia. I think there are about 4 different spellings in circulation, even on dedicated websites. I think it's important to carry...

Have you guys heard what's been going on in Australia? Ever since Steve Irwin passed away, they have found 10 stingrays dead, 2 with their tails cut off. Looks like some people are taking out their anger on the stingrays Did they ever stop to think that Steve Irwin would probably be really...

Just wanted to share a few photo's of these flowers since they are my latest attempt at cross-pollination within the Petiolaris Complex. I hope I get viable seed. Here's the Drosera ordensis "Type Area, Mirama Neal, Australia". Usually its only 1 bloom per day. The Drosera lanata x broomensis...

Hi all, I have been here awhile *since 02*.  I have lived in Michigan since 1989.  I was born in Sacramento, CA.  I have always enjoyed growing plants. When I lived in California I collected cactus. I believe I had about 50 or so.  They were very easy to take care of because all I had to do was...

This is the article I wrote for the inaugral edition of the Ontario Carnivorous Plant Society, reprinted here with permission from myself.  This is old hat for many of you already enlisted in Tamlin's Army, but with all the new faces and names coming in, I wanted to see if I can get to YOU...

I'm sure that you have already heard. I thought I would post this, it'll put her age in perspective. Harriet the tortoise, one of the world's oldest living creatures with links to famed naturalist Charles Darwin, has died in Australia at age 175. The giant Galapagos tortoise died of an acute...

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Step right up and see the worlds most unappreciated D. binata dichotoma!! A gift from Judith Finn from UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens, and very rare in collections. This form was collected long ago in Australia and placed into cultivation in the Berkeley Greenhouse. Unlike...

got this on AOL news "NEW YORK (June 2) - As the soaring price of zinc going into pennies pushes the cost of production above the coin's value, one congressman is rekindling plans to eliminate it. Representative Jim Kolbe, R-Arizona, told CNNMoney.com he plans to reintroduce legislation to...

Hi all, I will be taking a gap year from around June 2006 - August 2007 before entering my university in LA, california. So, since you guys are the best ppl I know who can throw random ideas besides being a huge international knowledge base, I need to consult you for ideas on what I can do to...

Yeah, this crazy, neglected, TC culture, aphid-infested Lowes rescue from last summer is flowering. There is another stalk emerging as well. Is this supposed to be the time of year or does it think it's still in Australia?

Based on what I've read in the forums, omnisterra listserver, etc, I believe that restrictions on sending seed between countries are significantly more relaxed than sending plant material. However, I do seem to recall that some countries have some strict limitations on any plant material -...

There is a plant I've wanted for a long time that is very hard to find in the US. It is Drosera erythrorhiza ssp. squamosa. I have located some tubulars of this plant, but it would be coming from Australia. I looked around on the U.S. Customs & Border Protection site and it looks like I have to...

Ok. Before I go on to Turi, let me say something. Remember how Australia thwarted that terrorist attack a month or two ago in Sydney and Melbourne. Now, this attack was predicted to happen on a tape released by terrorist group al Qaeda . They said on the tape-...

Penn State has an excellent library, I found both volumes 1 and 2 of carnivorous plants of australia. I already own volume 3... Anyone want anything looked up from the first two volumes?

I have a friend who is a botanist at one of the universities nearby. Today he left for Sydney, Australia to work on his PhD at Sydney U. He knows I'm a CPer and he knows a fair few other botanists. As a going away present he left me these on my doorstep while I was out today: A new Flower...
