One of true holy grails of Heliamphora cultivation. One adult division; likely rooted, but I won't be taking the division until a day or two prior to shipment. Here is a pic from the mother plant taken moments ago: I cannot make any promises since the division is yet to be taken, but I...

Opening Bid: $15 Up for bid are the three current Sarracenia cultivars in my Artist Series: 1. S. 'Chagall' 2. S. 'Seurat' 3. S. 'Gorey' Links to the cultivar descriptions are below: http://www.carnivorousplants.org/cpn/Species/v35n3p68_69.html#chagall...

I can see that my N. ventricosa is about to flower (my first Nep flower!). The leaf concealing the flower stalk has not opened up yet, but I can easily see that it is a flower structure inside by shining light through the unopened leaf (there was an atypical bulge in the unopened leaf that...

anyone know if the frappe thing will work on the sundews like the nepenthes? I don't have the space to setup test atm. my logic says maybe so if they are in cultivation without access to constant prey.

Hey everyone! This is an account that will be accessed by the board of the newly formed Carolina Carnivorous Plant Society. Any of them will be able to post on this account. We will have a single thread to give updates about what we are doing as an organization and possibly a few picture...

Hi Folks: Join us for a symposium on the ecology and cultivation of the waterwheel plant, Aldrovanda vesiculosa, at Bowling Green Town Hall in Caroline County, Virginia on Saturday June 29, 2013. The waterwheel plant is a globally rare carnivorous plant and our keynote speaker, Adam Cross...

We apologize for the misunderstanding regarding a recent giveaway thread. There was a simple miscommunication between individuals, and that giveaway will not be occurring. Plants collected from the wild are entered into the NASC propagation program, and only members in good standing on the...

Figured I would point out this CPUK thread here, people with graminifolia should look at their plants to check IDs. It seems that the true graminifolia is very rare in cultivation. http://www.cpukforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=48154

I have heard about a mystery disease, presumed to be a virus, that infects a lot of the Pinguicula 'Titan' material in cultivation. Its symptoms are twisted, deformed, and "rolled up" leaves, stunted growth, and inability to fully break dormancy (plants get "stuck" between dormant and active...

In a few months, I will be moving to upstate New York (Ithaca/Finger Lakes area, USDA zone 4b/5a). I've never lived in a cold climate before, and I am excited to try out some new temperate varieties that I was previously unable to grow. One group of plants I am interested in is...

I'm becoming enamored with the Corybas genus (helmet orchids). Supposedly it's often found growing alongside Nepenthes, but I don't know which Corybas species in particular. Some species in colder climates require dormancy, however some like Corybas pictus (below) are tropical. I'm...

Is this Scrophulariaceae species practicing carnivory? Is this Linderniaceae species practicing carnivory? Allen Lowrie and I have been working on breeding a large selection plant species, many of which do not always relate directly to this CP forum but if you grow carnivorous plants the...

Hi, after having a great day around the Gifberg we traveled back South to Tulbagh. On this way we wanted to take the opportunity to take a look on a location close to Nieuwoudtville we discovered in 2009. The day was almost as nice as the day before on Gifberg! So, we were full of hope to...

hey guys now my miranda has never grown well for me for some reason but it had many growth points so i think it didnt get enough nutrients because it never pitchered. So now my miranda has put out ten new growth points at the same time but its pitchering for the first time. I have started...

Here are a few photos from the Hyogo Prefectural Flower Center, Kasai City Japan. The CP collection is managed by Hirofumi Doi. They grow mostly lowland plants. They probably have the largest N. clipeata and N. pervillei in cultivation...

So back before my college classes (and moving 3 times in a year, life is fun!) started kicking my bottom, there was a new sundew discovery announced, I think on this forum. I don't recall much of it and can't find the original thread, but I thought it was being called "Sundew 'A'" or somesuch...

Hello folks! It’s that time again where we want you to whip out your cameras and take the opportunity to strut your CP growing and photography skills! Rules, rules, rules, rules…. As with the previous calendar contests, all rules must fulfill the minimal requirements for submission. If your...

hey guys, can this plant grow as a highlander? Does anyone have pics of a large specimen?

Anyone here growing it? I'm interested in cultivation experience(s)- I've read the info from Ed Read and Fernando Rivadavia on Eric Partrat's site. I grow a significant number of mexican pings and understand their seasonal requirements. Just looking for personal experiences and do and don'ts...
