I'm concerned about nepenthes in particular, but I guess this question applies to all of horticulture. When I write about hybrids I'm never confident that I'm obeying the rules. Here are some of the variations I've seen.
N. x ventrata
The "x" indicates that this is a hybrid. I assume that this...
I have 1 packet of at least 100 (probably many more) Dionaea muscipula seeds to giveaway. I believe these are from the 'Gremlin' cultivar. The plants are on the larger side of average but are super cold hardy and clump vigorously. They don't get very much red in the traps but more than make up...
I know that B52 is supposed to grow much faster than red dragon and tends not to divide as much, but how much faster?
What is the fastest growing Venus Fly Trap Cultivar?
Are my Venus fly traps and Sundews going to grow on these magic Chinese growing crystals or will they kill them...
Hello,
They've been a bit shocked from me moving, but it appears that my Drosera Regia are flowering. Here are a few photos. I took them a while back so they are much closer to flowering now:

So I joined this forum over a year ago and never really participated much. However, I've learned alot from the great community here and am hoping to share the little knowledge I have and gain some more! I'm currently in college (Penn State) and spending the summer at my parents farm before...

Drosera nidiformis x natalensis
Up for sale is one young plant of this cross, selected from my parent pot of plants. Many of these are from seeds or cuttings of a plant received as D. 'Tom Turpin', an intended cultivar, and can reach around 3" across, with sturdy, elongate tapered leaves. Color...
Drosera sp. Lantau Island x capensis "typical"
Up for sale is one young plant of this cross, approximately 2" across and produced from my own parent plants. This is a personal hybrid, and one of several I intend to choose a cultivar from. Plants can reach nearly 4" across, with elongate...
Drosera spatulata 'Tamlin' x sp. Lantau Island
Up for sale is one mature plant of this cross, selected from my parent pot of plants. This is a personal hybrid, and one of several I intend to choose a cultivar from. Plants can reach at least 2.5" across, with semi-erect, tapering spoon leaves...
I have a few odds and ends left over from planting a small aquarium and am offering them here for only $6 postage to cover a small Priority box. Plants are several stems of a red Ludwigia species (I believe), a nice piece of a small leaf cultivar of Java Fern, a small Crypt. ciliata, a stem of...
I have one rooted cutting of N. tiveyi 'Red' [Nepenthes tiveyi is not an accepted name - see CP Database, and N. 'Red' is not a valid, registered cultivar name, as the single quotes would indicate.] available to give away (recipient must pay shipping, within the US only). I believe this is an EP...
Jpappy's porch growing photo thread
Got a bunch of new plants in today and ready to start my outdoor collection. All US natives and hybrids at the moment. Apologies if Sarracenia names are a bit incorrect, my taxonomic knowledge of the genus is a bit rough so this is how they were labeled from...
Okay -- enough is enough! :-(
I've been deeply involved with CP, since I was about twelve or thirteen years old, I'm now fifty-eight, so that's ~45 years. Even before then, I was involved with orchids, the American Orchid Society and my local AOS chapters. Orchid people were very nomenclature...
On the topic of oddball Sarrs, I've got this fellow. He's an F1 plant from Baldwin Co., AL. I call him "Bubba Slack-Jaw"
This is the first year I've seen this pitcher shape, so I'm not certain it's genetic or conditional. If I can prove the former, I'm hoping I can list Bubba as a cultivar.
Hello all,
I am considering attempting to naturalize a population of VFTs in my front yard here in the swamp in NE Florida. I already have pings and sundews growing in that part of the yard and I have several sarrs growing elsewhere as well. There are also bladderworts in the swamp at the...
