I fried my brambles (blackberries) by keeping them in too bright of light this summer one is flaming orange now! I've been able to save one and it's started growing in the light-bleed of my terrarium shelves but I have recently bought a pile of various bramble cultivar root stocks. Now I have...
Hello everyone!
Here are two, different, mysteries for you. Well, no, more like two and a half, but anyway.
Number one:
This is a P. 'Florian' I got several years ago as a tiny little thing. Due to my lighting, it was green but healthy and in its summer phase for a while. Then, I...
So, setting up the photo albums on my Facebook, I go to include the link on Bob Z's photo finder to include it for my published cultivar Drosera 'Rhodesian Beauty' published December 18, 2003 on the ICPN and for the entry I read this:

I was googling the parentage of P. weser & P. sethos and stumbled across this in Wikipedia:

Drosera x obovata is a natural hybrid of D. anglica and D. rotundifolia. D. 'Ivan's Paddle' is a man-made cross of these two species. The cross was treated with colchicine and is fertile. Ivan gave me this pot of 'Paddle' at the last LACPS meeting.

(you will receive the larger of the 2 plants)
D. x "Watari" is a cross between D. anglica and D. spatulata, and is very similar to D. x nagamotoi.
This plant grows well in pretty much any medium- I've had great success with both peat: sand...
Hello Friends,
A few years back I made an interesting cross between Drosera filiformis "Florida red form" and Drosera tracyi"white flower, antho-free". Finally after a long wait, it has finally flowered and shows some interesting characteristics of both parents involved. Introducing; D...
This is an update to this thread:
http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120805
Basically the story is that I got a bunch of seed from Bob Ziemer last fall when I paid him a visit. I put it all into cultures and nearly all of it germinated. Some of the cultures got contaminated and...

I'm tentatively calling this one "Fairy Wings". It appears to be some kind of moorei - though how introgressed, I'm not too sure. It's provenance is Peter's nursery where I got it as a sibling plant. For the last two years, the plant has put out this kind of pitcher, so I believe the traits are...
I'll keep my fingers crossed on these but here's what I'd love to add to the collection:
S. 'Adrian Slack'
S. 'Copper Vase'
S. 'Black Widow'
S. 'Alucard'
S. 'Wilkerson's Red'
S. 'Royal Ruby'
Any other cultivar amongst those lines or on my wishlist. I only have a select few small pieces of some...

One adult division of the proposed "Godzuki" cultivar. It is a vigorous minor x oreophila clone with bright green leaves and strong red veining. Later in the season, the leaves acquire an orange hue and finally turn reddish with the onset of winter. During spring, it puts out a profuse show of...
When measuring the size of a cephalotus pitcher do you include the lid in the length? I have seen some claims of 3" hummer pitchers. If that doesn't include the lid that is impressive if not than it isn't that much bigger than a typical cultivar. I am debating whether to get a n. jamban or a...
I have today off and thought I would snap a few shots:
