cultivars

The first sizable Summer traps on my Dionaea have begun to appear in the last couple of weeks; and it is the more obscure Dirk Ventham's Giant (G14) which is taking the current lead at 4.9 cm (1.95"). Other cultivars reach their largest by the Fall . . . Dionaea muscipula cv. "Dirk Ventham's...

I was googling the parentage of P. weser & P. sethos and stumbled across this in Wikipedia: Hybrid cultivars involving Pinguicula moranensis cultivar name parentage description Pinguicula 'George Sargent' Hort. Slack P. moranensis × gypsicola Lilac flowers, strap-shaped leaves, large winter...

Is anyone growing these in the states? If so, I'm super interested in snagging both cultivars. If you're growing either one, please let me know. If you don't have plants available now, but may in the future, I'd still be interested in setting up a trade for fall or next spring. My growlist...

Here are a couple of other large cultivars, which have been circulating for many years before the "B52" -- including the "Southwest Giant" (aka "Slack's Giant" and "G16"), attributed to Adrian Slack and his Marston Exotics nursery back in the 1980s, and "Dirk Ventham's Giant," (aka "G14") also...

What we have here -- and soon to be in your hot little hands -- is Carnivorous Plants by Adrian Slack. It is the predecessor of Insect-Eating Plants and How To Grow Them and a true classic of the field. It is a first American, oversize hardback edition -- 22 cm x 27 cm (8.5” x 10.75”) -- in...

Can somebody PLEASE help me get one? They look so cool. Red, Black, or Marbled would be great! If not, could you guys just throw me pictures of yours to remind me why I have this fixation on them?

About to rebuild my collection, gave my plants away during move from Seattle to Utah My Plants Drosera Drosera Aliciae Drosera brevifolia (seed sown) Drosera capensis 'Albino' Drosera capensis - red leaf Drosera finlaysoniana - pink flower Drosera spathulata Ivan's 3-way Drosera 'Tamlin'...

The time has finally arrived for re-potting a slough of Dionaea -- something I now do annually, just as they emerge from dormancy; and it has certainly encouraged far more vigorous growth and increased size of my B52s and other cultivars over the years. Several of the plants are now in larger 15...

I have a large N. (veitchii x X Tiveyi) x veitchii for trade. It's been in my care for a little while now but has just refused to pitcher for me for some reason. The only pitcher it's put out was a small little thing that just basically said 'Hey look what I could do if I wanted to'... As much...

I was wondering if anyone had any spare divisions of Sarracenia purpurea varieties/cultivars available this dividing season. I have a very small collection and was hoping to expand this year a bit. PM me, or e-mail me at ryangrisso@msn.com if you have anything available. Thanks, Ryan Pinole, CA

I'm fairly new to cp's but have always had the odd fly trap or Nepenthes kicking around. After accidentally discovering that the more southerly races of sarracenia and VFT's could easily withstand a brutal New England winter I got hooked. I put several bog gardens in a little over a year ago and...

A few of you out there grow orchids and Nepenthes. I decided to shoot a couple of Phragmipedium cultivars that were in bloom as well as a N. talangensis pitcher that had just opened this week. Just wondering how the Nep would hold up against the Phrags beauty-wise... The two orchid flowers...

Because TF has been lacking a game for a while. *PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST* 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...

I was at Lowes today to get some LFS Orchid Moss (Lowe's has better stuff than my aunts plant nursery job now since they've switched brands) and I saw a plastic cube with 3 CPs in it. A D. adlae, a VFT and a S. purpurea. So nice to see them all growing together, the two temperates must be some...

Hello Tf, i had a question regarding drosera i guess cultivars/clones? So as far as i know you can get seeds from various drosera, but what do you call the seed that a specific cultivar/clone makes? example: drosera capensis, (typical, alba, red, broadleaf) i think i read somewhere that all...

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...
