Hello All, Well in my opinion I must say that there's something suspicious about Mr. Lowrie's recent Byblis photos. The link to his publicly posted Forum photos can be found here; http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=31873&pid=245236&st=0&#entry245236 Firstly, any Byblis I've...

Here are a few shots from this morning of some of my outdoor highland Nepenthes (with an odd Australian neighbor tagging along for the ride) -- two of which looked like they were on their last legs as recently as 15 June. Some odd ailment struck both my Nepenthes jamban (picked up in the Spring...

Hi guys, Just wondering if any of you have had any experience ordering plants into Australia? I know from experience how strict our customs can be, but have never had plants brought in before and am looking to find out if it is worth the hassle, or wether other growers experience is that it...

This is Cephalotus follicularis “Typical” -- if , by typical, you mean, a small rare, attractive Australian plant which lures insects to their ghastly untimely deaths, and is a “contented little clam” with that whole arrangement, then yes. What’s it going to take to put you with this sexy...

Anyone around here live in WA? I need to get in contact with some other growers from my local area. I keep stuffing up, or doing something wrong and to be frank, I'm sick and tired of failing. I can grow just about anything else apart from Nepenthes. They defeat me completely. So, who lives...

Hello. I have some seeds of New Zealand sundews and one Australian sundew that I'd like to trade. I can only trade for other CP seeds, and only certain ones, as my country has restrictions on this sort of thing. I have limited numbers, so first in first served. The Drosera Arcturi was harvested...

The Australian species go into a summer dormancy. But in cultivation people can skip it for the pygmy and wooly sundews. So, my question is, if you let these species go dormant will they be more vigorous than if didn't?

Hi everyone, Finally, I have time in front of the computer to give you some updates. I have been at Suntec City after work doing little odd jobs like clearing the display area of things, setting up tables for the sales booth and ferrying things down to Level 4 from Level 6. The display is...

I got this plant a year ago from Chuck Lyon. At the time I was told that it is either a German giant or an Australian giant. It only had one pitcher on it that was mature and this pitcher had a distinct hump on the back. Since then, plant has finally grown and matured and I wanted to ask for...

.... which other Petiolaris Complex will tolerate temps as low as the 80's and 90's? I have a fishtank and a submercible heater, and a fluorescent light set up with lowland Neps, B. liniflora, and a D. lanata. I just got hold of a piece of styrofoam that I will cut to size and contour of plastic...

My dad and I went to the museum today to see the famed Lucy. Unfortunately I couldn't take any pics in the entire exhibit, which was just a bunch of Ethiopian stuff, and her bones. It was good to see the bones and the full scale model recreation. Apparently...she just looked like an upright mini...

I was reading about the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis because I've got far too much free time on my hands, and I was thinking. Before you say 'Uh oh, there was his first mistake" answer me. What does English sound like to someone who can't speak it? When I hear German or French or Spanish or an Asian...

Hello, this is my first time here, but I have been CPing and reading about CPs for more than a year now. My setup is pretty simple. I have a 20 gallon with a glass top and one corner of the glass is cut out for ventillation. The humidity is usually over 90% and temperature is usually around...
