darlingtonia

Dear fellow plant addicts, I happen to have some monstrously overgrown plants in need of a haircut. Looking to see if anybody would want the pieces. I have: N. maxima () N. x dyeriana () Stapeliads, such as S. gigantea () Ceropegia stapeliiformis () Amorphophallus konjac corms One A. titanum...

A short video update on the small Darlingtonia House I erected this year. Growth has been pretty good, I've already overflowed back to the greenhouses I hoped I was making room in.

Jeremiah Harris and I decided to check out the Harvard Museum of Natural History yesterday. There is a vast mineral collection on display as well as an array of stunning fossils, skeletons and Victorian era taxidermy specimens from around the world. In this diverse collection of natural wonders...

Hi Everyone, I decided to take the plunge and create my own picture thread :-D I have been growing CP's for three years and to say it has become an addiction would be an understatement.... I have always enjoyed everyone's pictures so I figured I would add to them. Enjoy! Three short years ago...

I have been asked for my growlist many times and I am really bad about keeping one so here goes (As of this posting this list is incomplete and only includes my Aldrovanda, Genliseas and Utricularias). My Interests in the Carnivorous plant world Primary Interests - Utricularias - Genliseas -...

A while back on another forum I read a thread about a person "doing everything wrong with Darlingtonia." Essentially, he obtained a death cube cobra from Lowe's, and, not knowing what to do with it, placed it in a sealed glass jar terrarium in Miracle Grow potting mix. He watered by spraying tap...

Wish I had actual plants to offer, but this'll have to do for now. I have two packets of Darlingtonia californica Gasquet, CA One packet of Darlingtonia with no designation of whether it's a coastal or mountain variety. And one packet of S. Leucophylla Hurricane Creek, AL First come, first...

Carnivorous means that something is a "meat eater". It doesn't mean that something kills the animal, or else pure scavengers would not be considered carnivorous. A vulture is a carnivore simply because it eats meat, not because it may on some occasions kill things. Does that make everything a...

The average humidity during the day is around 50-60% and 70%-80% at night. I've also attached weather forecast for the next two weeks. I use a soil thermometer and it reads around 85degrees under direct sun with no shade. I'll have to remeasure once the temperature hits the 70's is that okay? I...

School is fast approaching, ushering in my typical forum absence. I don't often post pictures of my outdoor collection, but taking pictures is a good way to pay some attention to them. Most of these plants are thanks to the generosity of fellow TFers. :hail: Darlingtonia One of my Sarracenia...

Boom! Who doesn't love pictures? We all love pictures, and this thread is where you'll find a lot of mine! Here's an overview of the current collection. From back to front: 1. S. x readei 2. Darlingtonia californica 3. S. flava v. rugelii x flava v. maxima / D. binata 4. S. minor v...

Hello! In April 2010 I was walking to the top of campus at SFSU and passed by the University green house. They were having a plant sale and I decided to check it out. I ended up purchasing a Sarracenia x readii and had no idea what I was getting myself into or how I  would get swept up with the...

In June, my friend Scott (Jawn) and I went camping in Southern Oregon to explore the "mountain" populations of Darlingtonia. These photos are posted in reverse chronological order, starting towards the Kalmiopsis Wilderness where we went before we left, Northern California, and then back up to a...

Hi everyone. I've only been growing CP's for about 1.5 years now. I signed up for this forum a while ago, and wasn't really active until I heard someone had a thread about hybridizing sundews here. Right now I've got a decent collection of Cp's including a tub of VFT cultivars, sundews(of...

Spider or Darlingtonia?

I have limited space for carnivorous plants, but for those who are interested, this is my list. I kind of like my plants bloody, red, and dangerous looking. I also have regular house plants, but I'm definitely not listing those as there are too many. Pink is quantity for trade/sell. Green is...

Now I have all my plants together I get to sit, look at them and compare. I am noticing that the textures can vary quite a bit. One of my clones , a Mike Brooks' seedling has domed windows which gives the plant a warty reptilian appearance. I've checked with the friend whom I received it from...
