I would also like to take a moment to thank everyone who has contributed to the below growlist. Whether it be through generous...

It's definitely the season for flowers! Looking at my outside bogs I have 6 Dionaea flowers coming up. I know that cultivars such as B-52 can only be maintained through division and cannot be propagated through seeds. But what about cultivars such as the Akai Ryu and the cup shape traps? Can...
Up for auction is a mature division of my recently registered hybrid 'Reptilian Rose'. Thanks Pyro!!
Please see the March 2009 issue of the ICPS Bulletin for pics and description.
What makes this plant so special aside from it's huge size, deep rose/pink pitchers, huge flaring hood and...
Up for bid from PetFlyTrap.com is a mature, flowering division of Sarracenia 'Red Bug'. This cultivar is one of the bug series, which originated at UNCC. But unlike most of the bug series cultivars, this one produces slender, upright pitchers. Flowers are similar to S. rubra...petite and deep...
This is a spanking-new copy of Adrian Slack’s Insect Eaters: How to Grow and Feed Extraordinary Plants, a recent reissue of his long-out-of-print 1986 classic, Insect-Eating Plants and How to Grow Them, a title which still fetches over a hundred clams or more among collectors -- and has...
I'm interested in trading divisions from the following Sarras for other Sarras I'm not currently growing (see growlist). I'm particularly interested in Wilkerson cultivars that were crossed with UNCC Hybrids or any others Sarra hybrids/cultivars. Please pm if interested.
I'm offering the...

Since I know a lot of people are going to be starting to divide their Sarracenia soon I want to post the plants I have available for trade. Since I don't have heat packs and I'm trading mostly tropicals I will have to arrange the trades and wait until there's decent weather between me and the...
So, an odd question here. There was a thread about the biggest traps not too terribly long ago (the answer of which seems to be a B52 or B52-hybrid)... but are there any VFT cultivars that have really SMALL traps?
I had a weird dream a while back of a Carnivorous Plant Bonsai or Saikei setup...

I had several cultivars of Venus flytrap for trade. I have about eight to nine of each, and I am looking for carnivorous plants in general for the trade. I prefer seed material, and I would prefer to stay away from sarracenia if possible because I've had bad experiences with them, but if you...
One illustration which always me struck as a kid, searching through my father's old collection of scientific books, was a Rube Goldberg-style "mouse-trap" analogy of the very complex nature of a Utricularia trap, which appeared, complete with legend, in 1942's The Carnivorous Plants by Francis...

Hello everyone,
So, I have been trying to put together a comprehensive Dionaea website. I have a pretty good start with content that I wrote myself and photos of most of the cultivated varieties that I either took myself or got from Robert Ziemer (BobZ on this forum) with his permission to...
