I received 1000+ Darlingtonia seeds in a recent trade from a very generous grower.
Since there's more then what I know what to do with I'd like to trade some away for Sarr seeds. Known crosses only please.
PM or email me if you happen to be interested.
Thanks
Because TF has been lacking a game for a while.

Basically, it's Guess Who? except it's with carnivorous plants. Some rules are modified however, but this is how it goes:
I start off (or the person who guess correctly) and pick a plant, and you guys begin to guess...

Many thanks to all those who offered to help with my seed harvest!!

I've come to realize that I do not have enough spare time this year to harvest & package my Sarracenia seed. I'm looking for a detail-oriented...
Hello, I have a female N. thorelii x truncata in bloom and am in need of pollen for it. I would like to make multiple crosses, so anyone who has pollen is encouraged to donate. About half the flowers have just opened, so it is important to get the pollen sent out ASAP. Once seed has set, donors...

my nepenthes spectabilis x veitchii is in flower and its looking for a nice lady to cross it with this is a very nice clone! i would prefer plants such as other spectabilis crosses, veitchii would be nice and other things such as ventricosa, the first flowers are open and it is growing very fast...
I met with a professor at UNC-W today and they are planning a class on Sarr hybrids. They are going to try and trace the genitic link between sarrs. I think this will be a very good thing. The Professor asked me if I could get him some simple hybrids between S.flava, S.purpurea, S.rubra, S.minor...
Managed to accumulate a bunch of photos of one of my favorite crosses so thought I would just er.. post em all in one spot. It's really neat to see how a batch of seed grown plants turns out. I will see if I can get some photos of a few more. One plant is making a more upper looking pitcher...
After browsing through a certain nursery site, I ran across multiple plants one of which was S. x 'Judith Adrian' (AS x Judith hindle). The nursery then claimed to apply the name to ALL of the siblings of this cross. This came to be not just for this plant but for other hybrids advertised for...
Hello everyone. I need some help here. I know that there are 2 forms of Nepenthes spectabilis x aristolochioides. One from Geoff and Andrea Mansell and the Other from Robert Cantley. But what I am Curious to know besides there Vendor Origination, What's the "genetic" Difference? Is there a...
So I lucked out and my heavily speckled seed grown gracilis turned out to be female.
The bloom is pretty small, even for gracilis:
The pitcher:
I have 4 males flowering right now and I think the most interesting cross would be with fusca 'Sarawak'. Here is an old pic:
The only...
So one of the things I often daydream about is what hybrids I would make between nepenthes if I could. I'm probably not the only one here who does that. In fact, I know I'm not. There was a similar thread not too long ago. But not many people gave a lot of explanation for their crosses. So in...
Has anyone attempted these crosses?
B52 x 'red dragon'
B52 x dente
I am sure someone has. I just wanted to know if they were worth while to attempt.
Thanks!
An interesting thing I have found with Sarracenia flava rugelii plants is that some have their throat band only vertical, only horizontal, or a mixture of both. Is it possible ones with bands in both directions are crosses of the two, or just naturally occuring? Thought it would be an...
Crystal's request over here prompted me to visit my 'seed drawer' & see what seeds folks might be interested in as well as which ones I might be able to spare...
Up for auction are ~30 seeds (stored dry in refrigerator) harvested last fall from the following crosses (specifically ~30 seeds from...
Up for auction is one unrooted cutting of Thorelii x Trusmadiensis. If the auction goes high enough, I will include certain bonus(es). I don't have a picture of the main plant right now, however I will try to get one later today. This is not the 'Steve Duggins' clone that I have shown before...
Up for bid from PetFlyTrap.com is a mature, flowering division of Sarracenia 'Sunburst'. This cultivar was produced by Rob Sacilotto of Botanique, and is a S. x moorei (that's flava x leucophylla) hybrid. In our opinion, this is one of the finest moorei crosses available. The flowers are...
Hi guys,
Does anyone share my sadness in seeing how nepenthes cultivation is seemingly looming closer and closer towards orchid cultivation? What I mean is the fact on how increasing number of hybrids are being made and those are easier to grow + cheaper + greater availibility.
A perfect...
I thought the Nep nuts would find this interesting.
N. eymae x (thorelii x aristolochioides) seed germinating.
Ok now for the interesting part.
These seed were sitting in a kitchen utility drawer in a ziplock along with a bunch of others. The cross was made in May 2007 and harvested...
I have a complete and total newbie question.
I see all kinds of neato crosses between various Sundews, but, I am somewhat new to growing plants, so... I guess my question is, is there a limit as to how far you can cross one?
I am not talking about crossing 2 crosses, I know sundew hybrids are...
