    Genlisea aurea and margaretae for Research

    I am working with a researcher at the University of Arizona who is studying carnivorous plant genomes. He is particularly interested in plants with the smallest genomes and Genlisea aurea and margaretae are at the top of his list. It is difficult to obtain much test material because these plants...

    Highland CP companions: Disa orchids (pics)

    Disa uniflora comes from south africa, and is commonly seen growing with Drosera capensis and other sundews in its natural habitat. They prefer purified water, but can tolerate a low dose of fertilizer. In the wild, they are found growing in pure sphagnum, and in cultivation, a 60%...

    P. kondoi/reticulata

    I received this Pinguicula species from CZ Plants, back in June, 2008 labeled as P. kondoi. But it seems that the real P. kondoi, according to some experts, is not really in cultivation, and what is labeled as such is actually P. reticulata. Either way, this is still a very nice mexi-ping...

    Flowering N. burkei

    My N. burkei just revealed its first flower spike. This is the true Borneo Exotics burkei from Halcon (BE-3254), and I'm hoping some other folks have mature ones in cultivation at or near the flowering stage. If not, I'm thinking this plant could also make some killer hybrids. I only have...

    Why does Drosophyllum often die after flowering?

    I've been reading a while that in cultivation, many dewy pines die after flowering. Why is this? Is monocarpy common in this species in the wild as well? The two main reasons I've heard of is that the plant simply exhausts itself while flowering and setting seed, or that watering it after it has...

    N. ventricosa rediscovered

    Not that it was ever lost in the wild or cultivation, but N. ventricosa because of its common status in cultivation is oftentimes overlooked by CP hobbyists. It is a great beginner's plant, but once the next great Nepenthes species or hybrid is added to the collection, N. ventricosa can end...

    I know there is a purple nepenthes reinwardtiana out there somewhere; just as there are black truncata's and dark purple N. sanguinea's. But I'm not sure it's in cultivation :grin: The question is, has anyone ever seen a purple reinwardtiana? Has anyone ever had a deep purple reinwardtiana...

    Sphagnum moss photo page?

    Hey everyone! I thought it would be interesting to add a "Sphagnum moss photo page" to my website. Mainly just sphagnum in cultivation. I was originally going to only post photos of my sphagnum moss, but it's not the best example of how it can really be grown in cultivation. Here's what I...

    Mystery Drosera

    Three years ago, I picked up a sundew at Lowes on impulse. I ended up growing it in a terrarium with fir bark in the bottom (I know better now, don't worry.). Earlier this year, I decided to make a much more informed attempt at growing carnivorous plants, and transferred them into plastic pots...
