The title says it all. Any other informal amateur fiction writers out there? Here's something related to plants that I wrote for Creative Writing. I was kind of hyper when I wrote it. Monologue of a Mistreated Tropical Houseplant -- Why Plants Became Carnivorous It’s so dry in here… haven’t...

This year I have to do a science fair project - I'm still disappointed that I broke my track record by not participating last year. So I am asking you, my esteemed colleagues, to present possible ideas for an extremely scientific and quantitative project. I have a few ideas in mind - ranging...

Making a come back after my 10 day vacation in July when the battery operated sprinkler timer failed. I wish I had taken some pics before I left! I trimmed off a bucket full of dried out pitchers....:0o: This is my 6' x 8' outdoor shaded grow area. It faces E-SE with the brick wall on the N-NW...

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...

Are there any other drosera species in Borneo apart from burmannii and spathulata? Thanks TT

Hi everyone, bad news: I've gone astray and flirted with the neighbors' wives. Apart from Nepenthes, I now have a whole stable of sundews as well as two cephalotus. Why? Last week I came home with my newly purchased 105 mm macro lens, all gung-ho to take some real close close-ups of my D...

Has anyone here ever done mini speeches or talks or speeches on CPs? I did once last year for a project, I believe I did it on the ICPS, the conservation part about the ICPS, since the theme was for animal rights/protection and habitat destruction (and we all know CPs are suffering huge amounts...

Before they get too sunburned....I moved my neps back outside and have removed some of their shade cloth for spring sun. Last year they were fully protected with cloth, this year I plan to only cover overhead and experiment with which need and can take more sun - hot sticky Louisiana sun...

It has been in the 80's here for more than a few weeks(with nights in the 70s), so I moved all my neps out from their winter resting on a cramped set of grow racks in the garage to their outdoor shaded area. Now I see that it will dip into the low 40's and maybe even to 38 by Sunday night...

I had purchased a copy of Nepenthes of Borneo, I figured I would recieve a new copy of the recent reprint Well I was wrong, it arrived today... not only is it a "new" 1997 first edition it is also autographed by Mr. Clarke and personally numbered by him 676 of 750 now I have to admit, this is...

I received a N. Spectabilis a few months ago (probably a borneo exotics plant, I got it from a retailer that also sells poisonous frogs?), and had read that it was a fairly vigorous grower. It is FINALLY, very SLOWLY developing its first pitcher that I have seen, (it came pitcher-less.) My...

I have just recently received the book Nepenthes of Borneo and I've read a couple of things that just have my mind tied into a knot. It classifies 0-1000 m as lowland and 1001-3000m as highland and surprisingly I found that some 'highland Nepenthes' according to the Author could be grown as...

I am a lowland nepenthes enthusiast with limited growing room. By far, my favorite nepenthes is N. belli. I love the plant's small stature and tubby pitchers. However, I(along with many others) have noticed a suspicious amount of variabillity among N. belli clones. I am not a taxonomist, nor...
