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...
Current official weather conditions:
Temperature: 101 deg F (actual temperature is probably lower because of trees and grass and shade)
Relative Humidity: 13% (actual humidity is probably higher)
Nepenthes receive approximately 2 hours of direct sunlight in the afternoon. I mainly water...
I've had a lot of boxelder bugs on my sarracenia the past couple weeks. I see some of them eating the nectar at the mouths of the pitchers but others are poking their proboscises around other places on the plants. I thought it was rather odd since I understand they mostly chew on maple trees...

Hey Guys! I don't post very often, but have enjoyed reading what everyone has learned about cps through the forums.
As Dragoness has just demonstrated...sarracenia can be pretty tough. Many other forum members here have also shown off their bogs in areas normally too cold for most cps (which I'd...

This has been a tough year for my outdoor plants. First of all, I ordered this batch of plants from Mike Wang, who grows them in CA outdoors where they experienced a short, mild Winter and an early Spring. When I got the plants in February, most of them had begun Spring growth already and many...
I have a healthy clump of flava that I am looking to trade. There is enough for easily three divisions. I am interested in vfts, dews and pings for a temperate bog, zone 7.
I just picked this plant up at a local nursery, labeled as Sarracenia "Stephensii". A bit of Googling tuned up nothing on it, but I have figured out it was likely supposed to be Sarracenia "Stevensii". Which it is not! Stevensii is a flava x purp, and the main reason I bought this one was...

Over the past few months, I've been getting back into Sarracenias. I haven't kept them for a while and now it seems I've gone a little overboard and ignoring my Nepenthes. :nono: Since I was cleaning up my greenhouse and moving them out to a kiddie pool in full sun, I thought I would share...
I've had a couple "shots in the arm" with pygmy sundew gemmae and other assorted things, but what was once a thriving collection of butterworts is down to just a few. I am also missing a few basic sundews, like D. adelae, anglica, and aliciae. Here's my current grow list. Those with asterisks I...
Hello all.
As some of you may know from my other recent thread, I have recently completed my second tour of duty in the Army and I am now home after eight years away. Now that I am back, I am once again managing my grandmother's acreage for her, acreage that is prime habitat for CPs. The...
