fern

Hey all! I have heard a lot of great things about this forum so I decided to come pop in and say hello. My name is Matt and I live in Buffalo, NY. Along with my girlfriend, I run our local carnivorous plant club. I am getting my masters in botany and also run my own plant blog on the side. I...

I was testing a new flash set-up in my garden the other day and found a few of these tiny flies (Meiosimyza sp.) wandering around on a bracken fern. They were tiny (4-5mm long; about 1/10 inch), colourful and mobile: the perfect test subjects for the flash! I shot the fly at F16, so the...

I assume this snotty looking stuff on the surface is algae or maybe an early stage in the life of a fern? Many of my Nep seedlings have this and a dark brown to black version beginning to cover the surface, it begins as a single bubble here and there and then slowly covers the surface. I am also...

I am trying to clean up my collection after a couple of years of neglect and I have too many plants so I am giving away some stuff for the most part. I have about 15 large divisions of S. flava (common form) and 11 of S. leucophylla. The thing with the S. leucophylla is that they may be either...

I've become fascinated with epiphytic Utrics in the short period of time I've been here. Coming from an orchid background, I find them to be quite similar: big flowers, epiphytic in nature, etc. I've been through many threads where they've been tried on TF, cork with moss, or net pots in LFS...

I go to the NC State Fair every year to eat tasty but terrible fair food and to see the plant displays. This year was pretty cool, nothing particularly special but I figured I would share it with you guys. A venus flytrap-esque salad grabber! IMG_3425 by mcmcnair The ferns that were on display...

I used to use these for backgrounds in my dart frog tanks. They are perfect for epiphytic plants and some of the pickier Utrics like U.quelchii and U.campbelliana would do very well on them. They hold moisture far better than tree fern panels without remaining too wet. They stopped making them a...

I got bored so I hollowed out a light bulb? Any ideas of plant to grow that isn't a cactus,moss,carnivorous,or a fern?

Hey guys. I'm still alive. I've just been taking a break from the forum for a little while. I thought I would share my latest project. I've been working on getting a new aquarium up and going. I used to have several aquariums a few years ago, but lost interest in the hobby and sold all my...

This fair was AWESOME!! The most plants i've seen in one place ever. LOL. Anyone in the PNW, it is worth the drive to go! It apparently happens every year, and is bigger each year.. There was a pretty big variety of plants available, pots, planters, yard art, etc.. And so many native plants and...
