crosses

I am hoping to assess the levels of obsession with Sarracenia out there. Feel free to guesstimate, but I would be intrigued to know: -How many crosses do you make each year? -How many seedlings do you produce and grow each year? -How many plants do you cull? -How many plants/seedlots/seedlings...

I am interested in getting a N. spathulata and some spathulata hybrids from a local nursery, but I am not sure I have the proper growing conditions. 9-10 months a year, I have intermediate-highland temps, with daytime highs of 80f and nights at 60f, in mid-summer, though, I get lowland temps...

I have all the info from A World of Pinguicula site. I grow many, many different species and crosses. I have never grown this one before. Anyone have any cultural experience?

Since lots of people like to make crosses with plants from other people on this site, I thought it would be useful for people to list out which plants they have which regularly flower and what gender they are, to make future propagation endeavors easier. Also a place to post which ones you...

Well the title says it all. Over the weekend, now that school is out, there have been a lot of restless individuals in the neighborhood where a friend of mine lives. This friend of mine permits me to keep a small garden of temperate CPs on his back porch knowing that I am in between...

Last year when some of my Mexi-pings were flowering I took the time to cross pollinate a few of those flowers. One of the plants in flower was this seed grown P. agnata. And its flower It was crossed with this P. colimensis. And its flower These were the resulting P. colimensis x...

In my ongoing effort to clean up as well as free up some space, I realized that I have two utric hybrids that have not been adequately shared. - U. nephrophylla x U. nelumbifolia - U. nephrophylla x U. reniformis f. courte These are crosses I've made in the past 2 years. The flowers for both...

Prompted once again by the generosity of some members of the CP community, I have decided to do another giveaway; two hybrid Nepenthes seedlings, approximately 2.5 years old, from crosses I made. I will pay for shipping myself, so this is a total freebie. How to qualify? 1) Post in this thread...

I've had a couple "shots in the arm" with pygmy sundew gemmae and other assorted things, but what was once a thriving collection of butterworts is down to just a few. I am also missing a few basic sundews, like D. adelae, anglica, and aliciae. Here's my current grow list. Those with asterisks I...

Hi all! I am looking into trying to breed Sarracenia a la Mike Wang/Rob Co/Brooks Garcia/Jerry Addington and wanted to take a survey of the ways you all label your collections. I'm still in the early stages of building a Sarr collection, but I imagine sooner or later I could get in over my head...

I just finished pollenating a few flowers today. I have many many more flowers to pollenate that are not open yet. Mostly rubras. So far here is the list of crosses I am waiting to produce seeds. This is my first attempt so I am just a little excited and hope they turn out!!!! 4/23/2014 Crosses...

Hi everyone, We have a male N. truncate blooming in our greenhouse right now and will be collecting pollen for cold storage. We are interested in seeing what prospects there are for a suitable mate. If you are interested in making a truncata hybrid or pure species and have a female Nepenthes...

You are bidding on a 4 inch pot of Sarracenia rosea x purpurea venosa. A Bunch of seedlings now about three years old growing in a 4 inch nursery pot. Plants are still sort of dormant. This is one of my crosses and so far can see some are behaving just like the rosea parent in terms of flower...

I have several hundred excess Sarracenia seedlings left over from my 2013 crosses that I am interested in giving away. I will choose an assortment of crosses and send a selection of at least 3 or 4 hybrids (probably more). Parents will include "Alatamin" (alata X minor), 'Judith Hindle', S...

Mystery N. merrilliana hybrids (sold as N.'Hopeful Monsters' by a certain Nepenthes nursery in Hawaii) have been around for several years now. I am a huge fan of N. merrilliana crosses, so if anyone has pics, I would be very curious to see how they are turning out! From talking with the nursery...

My little guy is finally settled in enough to make it's first pitcher for me, and I wanted to share. I was talking to some professionals, and they seemed to think that this hybrid is destined to be lack-luster. Sure, it's parent, 'Caesar' was enormous in the pitcher department, but was...

Hi, I have a medium sized division of S. Excellens with Purple Hood and a medium-large sized division of S. Oreophila x Willisii that I would like to trade. I am looking for colorful, interesting sarracenia (species or hybrids) that I do not have. I am willing to trade for seedlings if they are...

Following the teachings of the great jedi master,Butchie, I am now enjoying my first heli flower, or rather my first two. :boogie: These will make for some interesting crosses.

So I am trying to understand how to read hybrid crosses. Let's pretend we have a... N. Maxima x Rajah Which one would be the female and which male? And from my understanding, the plant will look a tad more like one of the parent's form? Thank you.

So recently my significant other got into raising Poison Dart Frogs as pets. In that hobby, it is extremely taboo to keep frogs of different "morphs" together. Morphs are from different regions, and when they breed, the resulting progeny is "unpure." They worry about these getting back into the...
