This plant just surprised the hell out of me by blooming all wrong! When I found it I assumed it was a Pickerel Rush, genus Pontederia. I found it growing in the root mass of either a lotus or tropical water lily that came out of a FL nursery. Obviously from the three petal flower it isn't what...
Thought it was time to post recent pics of my outdoor CPs.
The renovated bog is looking good and everything seems to be happy in their new digs.

24 July 2015 : Byblis Liniflora Flower Bloom update 2
The new Byblis Liniflora which I just bought, the flower did not bloom for me on the first day. Perhaps it was a little stress after a quick repot. But on the second day it did!! It was sunday and I had the opportunity to take good photos...
My Fuchsia boliviana Alba is blooming nicely. It makes a fruit from each flower, which is full of viable seeds. I've counted roughly 200 in the past, although I think it varies.
The first fruits are about to plump up and ripen. I expect this will be within a week, roughly. I'll clean the...
I have done left over pollen from a few Venus fly traps that i collected a few weeks ago to use too attempt crossing their vfts.
All id need is a S.A.S.E (cause im low on stamp funds)
And ill send you the rest of the pollen ive collected
I have a few collections of VFT 'all green'/ 'green...
We let a few of our vft's flower this year to try are hand at crosding the different types together to sow the seed. I also collected a bunch of pollen samples from those types to aide in doing these crosses and i tickled and tickled till i tickled myself darn near crazy! Now that the flowers...
I hope i can attach this picture correctly
This is growing along with some random droseras in a pot with our All Green VFT im possitive its harmless but i see little flower stalks emerge from within this green stuff and the questions as to what it is from the kids has got me wanting to find...
I just took 3 pups off of my mom's Dyckia 'Alice' (my mom's name) added a few other things, mostly directly from her plants, mostly succulents. Looking for a trade for a CP with 'Alice' in the name, or one with Bohemian or Czech in the name (she's half Bohemian), or just an interesting...
There have been plenty of threads about flowering Nepenthes recently, so what's one more?
I have pollen stored currently of N. x mixta, 'Miranda', and (inermis x singalana) x mira available, the last one sending up another flower stalk as well. I have also begun collecting pollen of 'Rebecca...
I have a D. filiformis that I purchased locally last year, and one that came as a hitchhiker on a NASC auction item last year and have noticed a curious difference between the two plants. On the purchased plant, the flower buds are coiled, while the hitchhiker has a 180 degree curve with the...
Hi all,
Out of sheer luck, our 5-year-old N. bicalcarata has decided to create its first flower stalk ever! The buds are still too primordial to sex the plant, but it appears to be a male inflorescence. I am willing to send pollen--not particular at all what it gets crossed with--for a cut of...
Hey guys, my recent purchases are full of surprises! Just the other day I was admiring my Sarracenia when I spotted this flower growing in it. I believe it is of Utricularia origin? If you guys could help me out on identifying it I would be gratefully. I have never had one of these before, and...
I finally did it. There is now a white flowered D. tokaiensis. Only pink flowered plants have been found in nature. Using the Colchicine elixir I successfully transmuted a white flowered sterile hybrid D. x tokaiensis (D. rotundifolia X spatulata) it into the fertile D. tokaiensis. Thanks to...
Recently I came across two lotus seed pods as part of a flower arrangement at a garage sale. The pods were smallish, maybe three or four inches across. Color and variety are certainly unknown, but who knows? Might be something interesting. Maybe a teacup or mini? Probably not, but again you...
I have 5 packets of Drosera hookeri seed to give away. This is a great starter species for those looking to get into tuberous Drosera. These seeds do not need any special treatment in order to germinate as many other tuberous species do and will often flower in their 1st year if grown well. It's...
Mostly I don't bother with flower pictures because it is a pain getting the pots out of the crowded tray to get good angles. These are outdoors so much more room. It's also very difficult to render the colors true or catch the subtle veining or other variations. And many of the flowers look so...
In spite of my difficulties growing Pings, I can grow orchids really well. First, a picture of a Laelia angereri x L. katsukiana:
This is a primary hybrid of two rock laelias from Brazil. They can grow well outside in Arizona, as long as they are given some shade in the afternoon, and a...
