As some of you know, I have been doing community service at the Brooklyn botanical garden, this fall I have been mainly working with kids in the Discovery Garden. Today we had our "Ghouls and Ghourds" Halloween festival and we were working the "spooky plants" booth so I decided to bring some of...

When I was - oh - about six or seven my father brought me to a carnivorous plant exhibit at a botanical gardens in St. Louis (I'm from Nebraska but have relatives who live there). I had read about carnivorous plants but had never actually seen any. My imagination was really kicking when we...

Hello all! Just this past week I visited my alma mater, UNC Charlotte, and the North Carolina Botanical Gardens in Chapel Hill. Both of these are home to several cultivars registered by Larry Mellichamp (in Charlotte) and Robert Gardner (in Chapel Hill). I have already posted the best photos...

Hi There, Just up the street from me, a half mile or so is a place called What's Brewing. They moved in perhaps a decade ago and have been in operation ever since. I like to get coffee from them as it was usually roasted that day or within the last two to three. Hearing that it is possible...

Today I visited a couple of locations with my grandfather. First we did some canoeing through the pine barrens. We discovered a small opening in the dense forest, it was mainly a field of cranberrys with small pools of water lilies. There were a couple drosera intermedia scattered on the...

Hi, new grower here(no surprise) from the gulf coast of Texas, where its either hot or raining. Not much In between, weather wise. Like most when I was young I owned a small typical VFT. Recently I've gotten back Into the hobby when I officially declared wwr on the flying insect invaders that...

Went to the USF Summer Botanical Show/Sale. Purchased a Sarracenia purpurea but also took pictures: Stuff for sale: Also some stuff on display in the gardens:

Some of you people may remember this thread: http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php?128918-A-bog-of-S-purpurea&highlight=s.+purpurea Anyways, I went back there. The boardwalk is under renovation. So I could not get really close. And I was hampered by my lack of a telephoto. So no...

Earlier today, i was immersed in a plant wonderland at the United States National Botanical Gardens!:laaa: orchids, palms, cycads, nepenthes, bromeliads, succulents, cacti, the list goes on and on!!! :-O i went because my mom had heard that they had a new carnivore exhibit, and once she told me...

Hello guys! (Any lady here by the way??) Yesterday i was at the Montreal's botanical garden looking for some cps, but they only has a couple of d.aliciae, some d.spatulata and a dionea box. Then i saw these littles babys cryin"take me with you!" <a...

The United States Botanical Gardens (located in Washington DC a stone's throw from the Capitol Building) is having a major carnivorous plant show from now until September. Tons of CPs on display, along with the following:

I'm looking at expanding my collection of plants. I currently own two types of VFT, two Sundews, and a Bonzai tree. I visited the Chicago Botanical Gardens a few weeks back and saw some pitcher plants and decided I'd like to get in on that action. I'm still pretty new to this whole thing as...

I was at the Montreal Botanical Gardens for a plant show yesterday, and I took a few pics, no photos of the vendors, but some stuff from around the gardens. Flowaahhhs! :-O Alpine gardens: Japanese gardens: BONSAI!!! More pics to come...

As some of you know, I am doing internship at the brooklyn botanical garden. Anyway, today we were given a tour of the botanical gardens private collection, it is supposedly one of the biggest in the world. Many of these plants are over 300 years old!

CPs have occasionally been the subject matter of painters, with varying degrees of whimsy and artistic license being employed on the part of the illustrator. (often botanical accuracy takes a back seat to flights of fancy) However, I have had a friend point out one work by Madelaine Von Foerster...

Come and get 'em! It is difficult to do this, but I will be moving soon, and I don't want the headache of trying to take my plants with me. I have been growing nepenthes for almost 30 years and have many healthy and vigorous plants left in my collection, so here is an opportunity to get some...

So I know the whole Death Cubes/Lowes/HD plants have been discussed to death, but what I could not find was an ID on what the Botanical Wonders Nepenthes labelled ventricosa actually turned out to be. Does anyone have one they purchased from the big clear plastic boxes they ship in now that...
