I've recently acquired seeds of U.dunlopii, U.fistulosa and U.leptolectra. Has anyone ever germinated seeds of these species or even grown them for that matter ? Any advice would help.
Thanks.
Hey everyone:
I read through the lighting guide and Googled it, but it's been a few years since most of those have been updated so I thought it would be okay to ask for advice.
I recently bought several 4 tube T5 light fixtures which have the option of have two or four lights on. (For...
I appreciate the Australian Greenhood orchids with their late (Northern Hemisphere) flowering extending the growing season. My Pterostylis coccinea have been in flower for several weeks ( http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php/135227-Just-look-at-what-a-repot-can-do ) and now the...

Hi,
I am curious about whether anyone here has attempted to grow red Aldrovanda, Australian or Hungarian, and were you successful? They seem to be for the most part, unobtanium. Other attempts to find out and or obtain some have been unsuccessful or are stalled. While on the subject, does...
Harvesting of Heliamphora pollen is one of those things that was very simple once I learned how.
Much of the issue came in not knowing when to harvest.
When the flower first opens, the anthers are lower than the stigma and perpendicular to the pistil (see image).
As the flower matures the...

Here's some pics of a Giant Prickly Stick Insect, Extatosoma tiaratum. I think it's a female. She is not mine, she's on loan from somebody. I think she looks like something you would see in Mad Max or some post apocalyptic movie :D
Higher resolution versions can be found on my flickr page.

If you need 'specimen' data access you'll need to fork over $2000 - not sure if that's US or AU $ :-D:-D - otherwise it's FREE.
Plug the 'genus' into the search box and GO.

Just a couple of pitchers starting to open now that Spring is here. Still a few small ones probably opening next month which I will take photos of.

Hi guys, I've been searching for Pinguicula laueana (red flower form) for quite a while now - ideally I'd like to obtain a dark red flower colour. I have not had any luck sourcing this plant (or even seed) within Australia.
I have many different forms of VFT to trade (within Australia) and...
Up for auction is a basket of one each of the Australian 'Sisters':
- D. adelae - a mature plant divided from a clump that has been together for a few years
- D. prolifera - a mature plant growing semi-wild in the live LFS in the lower regions of one of my tanks
- D. schizandra - a small plant...
Any help to promote this expedition to photograph the world's most unusual plant would be most appreciated. For illustration see;
