cobra

So I came to work at the Depot on Saturday. My head cashier comes up to me and says, "Guess what came in!" I had no idea. Then she shows me a display of VFT's, 1/3 were gone already. All season long they don't get any and now that it's at the end of the growing season, they bring them in. Today...

Well, as a few of you know, some painter got paint spray all over my minibogs Thursday afternoon, so I spent the most part of yesterday and today unpotting, repotting, and shipping off all sorts of plants. I don't think the plants are the worse for it other than spending 2 days in a tub of...

Hello friends, I've recently become interested in the Cobra Lilly. I'm wondering about the two varieties out there. I live in San Diego, on top of a hill with constant breeze. It doesn't get too hot here, the low 80s are the normal highs for summer. So what variety, the mountain or the...

Just took some pictures outside after feeding the plants some crickets...if the pitchers are wet it's because they get a good spray afterwards to make sure their food went down OK. (Anyone ever force-feed a pervillei a small cricket? It slides right into the pitcher, like with a ceph...)...

So lately I've been on TF chat talking about this big Miranda I had that I just needed to get rid of. I threw it outside just to get rid of it and I didn't really have any concern if it'd live or not. It's been there for a week, I went on a trip to LA for the weekend and left it out there with...

I'm getting really annoyed by all the spiders out this season. I don't know why this season is turning out to be so bad- the mites were new, the black buggies were new, the lackluster sundews, dead cobra lily. A few of my many Sarrs are dying out- rotting, I guess? There wasn't a problem with...

So I've had my cobra plant for two or three years now. It's done well so far. I'm proud that I've kept it alive. Anyway, I've noticed a few of their "heads" have become pruny. Like someone stuck a straw in them and sucked the life from them. I've never ever seen this before. Could this be too...

Just an assortment of pics from my trip. The Sarrs and some misc. CP's were all taken at a place in Snohomish, WA. The Nepenthes was taken at the Victoria Butterfly Gardens. The sundews and cobra-lily were taken at the Shorepine Bog Trail in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, near Tofino...

I'm currently in Tofino, BC, on day 9 of an 11-day excursion to British Columbia. Managed to see a lot more CP's than I thought I would. Day 1 of the trip was in Seattle and I visited a certain place that grows and sells carnivorous plants. Saw a lot of cool plants there and bought a few. I...

I just started collecting CP's last summer. This spring I am having a real problem with the Birds. I lost a Cobra Plant that I got from Lowes. By the time I got home it was dried up on the ground.:censor::censor: Any tips on keeping the Birds away. They seem to like the LF Sphagnum Moss. I have...

So, I've never had this problem before. I grow outside. 50/50 peat and perlite. I've had the same bag of Canadian peat for probably 3 years. It's been kept in a shed and sealed up. Anyway, this year is my first year with seeds. First immediate question- what to Sarracenia look like when they're...

They're still babies, but I'm proud of the the fact that they're still alive: when I bought it last december: now: I mist my heli every morning before I go to work. It gets the most attention of any of the plants. I'm waiting on a heteroXionasii from Europe too which will hopefully be as...

I was wondering how everybody's plants are coming along and I wanted to say howdy to all the forum members as a new member. I took some pictures after class today so maybe we all can compare how our plants are doing? I grow them outside literally right next to my tomato patch. So far it's been...

well i got some Nepenthes that I want to get rid of and would like to swap them for some various Sarracenias not on my list. PM me if interested, they are decent size, nothing spectacular, ill get pictures if needed. US only please, it would be nice to do it all in one go to keep down on costs...

I have been looking for a Cobra Lilly plant for a while and have not found one in plant form. I do not really mind what size it is as long as at least one trap is fully developed and open. I would prefer to have the D. californica species. Best case would be a SASE with me sending out a...

What is the best way to water cobra lily plants? Should I sit them in water or water them *** needed like Neps?

My mom is awesome. :> she went to Lowes to get some garden plants, and she said she had a surprise for me. She came back with a very healthy Darlingtonia. I was very astonished because I never thought I'd have one in my collection for a long time. I asked her if there were any other types and...

Well, I guess it is time to introduce myself since I’ve been lurking for some time now. My name is Hotrod30; after my hotrod that I drive. To tell you how old I am; tenth grade math class we spent a week on learning how to use and master the Slide Rule. I grow my carnivorous plants...
