Hey guys. All my plants died in the awful summer I had in Illinois last year, but I moved to Oregon and now I'm in a great climate for sarrs and VFTs as well as... darlingtonias :) I REALLY want a darlingtonia, where on earth can I get one? Seems like they're pretty rare. Thanks.

My Darlingtonia House in May 2015. At least the top half of it anyway. Flowering on the older colonies hasn't been as good as last year even though I thinned out all three trays. There are new clones flowering though which all helps with the enjoyment. The three solar water pumps are all still...

Just to show I don't just grow Darlingtonia, here's a small selection of my other carnivorous plants.

Today I noticed that my Darlingtonia appears to be wilting. The mature pitchers as well as the developing ones appear to be drying up. The plant looked fine just a few days ago. It has been overcast the last few days and it rained a few days ago, so I haven't watered the plant in a few days...

The first of my flowers for this year which is along way in front of all the rest. This is the first ever flower from this clone. This youngster was taken from the parent plant last year after I accidentally damaged the parent's new pitchers. The parent has never flowered, this year's bud being...

Alrighty, let's get this thing started. I'm offered a signed copy of both my guide to growing carnivorous plants, Cultivating Carnivorous Plants, which was just published, and my book on Darlingtonia. Photos of the covers follow. This is your chance to get both and help NASC! Bidding starts at $5.

Has anyone thought of moving pitcher of the month to general discussions so that all 4 pitchers (5 if you count Darlingtonia) can be submitted?

This is the final version ( for now) I have decided to go with. The three pumps are now all on this MkIII version. All I need to do now is introduce my seedling Darlingtonia to the Sphagnum baskets. I'll be slipping in a few pots of Cephalotus too.

This is the second version of a solar water pump in a tray for Darlingtonia. The first version which I placed in an existing planted tray doesn't really allow for a large enough flow through. So this time I have cut off the bottoms of some slated trays (see photo) at 1" and inverted them to...

I gave into temptation and bought a small 9v water pump and solar panel from Amazon for the extravagant amount of £5.89 ($9.11). I made a holding frame from scrap wood and a couple of metal angle brackets for the panel so it's angled at 45°. This I've clamped to the ridge of the greenhouse. The...

I was rather successful with my four or five Darlingtonia last summer thanks to a water recirculation table (and luck). *knocks on wood* This year I plan on greatly expanding. After a couple awesome trades I am ready to bring on the grow season, and I feel like a photo thread would be...

I have a packet of 30 Darlingtonia seeds here in front of me. This packet of seeds will go to whomever can guess what my favorite species of snake is. Infinite guesses, one guess per post, I'll give you a hint - It is a pretty cool snake.

SO, I recently repotted this plant. Did i left too much of the plant outside? The part in question is where it's red. It wasn't red before and I think it might be sunburnt. Should I plant it deeper into the pot?

In about 1968, when I was living in Westminster, California. I was an avid organic gardener, In the back yard, I had an organic vegetable garden, not very large (about 10' x 40'), but it contained a large variety of plants. I had two bee hives atop a grape arbor. I also kept a rooster in one...

I figure there might be enough commonality of interest to give this a go. I raised a leopard gecko years ago and want to obtain one or two for my classroom. I have several nice (LARGE) Sarracenia, both species and hybrids, that I could trade. Additionally, I have something like 1600...

I deflask and grow darlingtonia in perlite and pure water. So far so good. There's no mold & bacteria and they seem happy. Next step will give them a very little fertilizer or amino acids. If they don't like it then move them to sphagnum moss. :banana2:

I had a few minutes spare I found a 7 x 5" photo frame. I have lots of Darlingtonia photos I have a photo edit program. So I quite like it
