flower

I thought I'd post a few pictures of some of my developing flower buds. I was excited when I saw the first flower bud appear a few weeks ago, but now there are two! I didn't think the plant was large enough even for one. I just discovered this today. It's the first time I've gotten flowers...

Hi Everyone: I have a nepenthes belli x ventricosa with two female flower stalks. Anyone with pollen that can help us out? I am not particular, any pollen will do. thank you

I picked up this plant at the Chicago Botanic Gardens at their orchid show on Sunday. The woman selling them was really busy, so I didnt get to ask about it, I just bought it and figured id learn to take care of it later... Little did I know that these apparently are notoriously difficult to get...

Hi, I recently got some sarracenia seeds from a friend who has a bog tub in his backyard. He collected those seeds remained in the old flower about 5 days ago, which means they've spent their time outside through the whole winter. I'm wondering if I still have to put them in the fridge? can I...

I had a crack at a quasi-Kokedama for an Orchid. This was made from binding orchid bark mix and LF moss together with cotton and a glue-gun. What I'm hoping is that the roots wrap around the structure - it should look quite attractive once it starts to flower.

Hello! I have a male N. spathulata x hamata that has just put up a flower spike, the flower is just forming so its not ready to be collected yet, but as soon as it is Id like to get it traded out ASAP, so Im hoping someone has a female plant in bloom! I dont really care about species/hybrid, I...

I have about five sarracenias that I have had for a few years but this season I wanted to add two more to the family. I got a Leah Wilkerson and a Reptilian Rose. Both arrived today with healthy rhizomes (medium sized) but unfortunately both flower stalks broke off during transit. They were only...

Overview of the indoor setup, light is a 6 bulb t5ho with two 3500k bulbs and 4 6500k bulbs. Sorry for the focus issues in some photos, still learning with the new DSLR. I would love some tips... D. Aliciae D. Venusta (shipper folded the plant :rant:) D. Spatulata, I don't think I've...

Hello, I want to keep urtricularia fulva but I don't seem to find much information about Charing for these little guys. I live in the Netherlands and just thought of keeping them next to my tropical drosera's. Is that okay? Do they need a dry season or a (overfloating) wet season to get them to...

It is P. moranensis alba x P. agnata True blue. Although both of species are easy for grow and cross, I am so exciting to see my first cross flowering. It took almost 2 years from seed to flower. The seedlings

...a bit early if you ask me. I suppose that's what happens when you have a string of 60 degree days at the beginning of February. This is the first flower bud of the year on a Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora, near Sumatra, Liberty Co, FL clone H. There is also a bud visible on my...

Hi Everyone, I know we all like photos, so I thought I would share some of my collection in this thread. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to correct me if I label any of these wrong. D. Burmannii Pygmy (Drosera pulchella x omissa)? note: They flower like crazy all summer long. They...

Last summer I found a vft with a flower stalk that had traps instead of flowers growing on the stalk. I'm afraid it didn't make through dormancy. Has anyone else seen this phenomenon? Later that summer it produced normal flowers.

This thread is in no way intended to be an endorsement of illegal marijuana use. Indeed, one could infer from this discussion that consumption of trichome resin is harmful. One internet writer showed photos of cannabis trichomes, claiming: "There is no other plant like this in nature". I...

Its time for a picture thread i guess. Mostly pics, but maybe stuff later on? Whatever stuff is. I divided and potted some things over the weekend, mostly because I wanted to fill the trays I got, hah. I think I need to move the shelf down a couple inches. Wet tray dry tray This...

Anyone know how to get utricularia longifolia to grow? Mine has grow from a single leaf to a massive bush in four months, but no flowers. Do they usually flower at a specific time a year/ do they need a variation in photoperiod or watering? Many thanks!

Looks like my D. Petiolaris is flowering! Alright! <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/139909127@N06/24574615422/in/dateposted-public/" title="image1 (2)"><img src="https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1716/24574615422_a3bb721339_z.jpg" width="480" height="640"...

Hi, I have two flower spikes coming in on my N. truncata and am looking for suitable recipients. The spikes are just forming, so it will probably be at least a month before pollen is ready, but I figure it is best to arrange a match as early as possible. I am not terribly picky about the match...

Some years back I saw a short article in the Carnivorous Plant Newsletter where a grower was describing how they had taken some of the plantlets that are often formed on the old flower stalks of Drosophyllum lusitanicum and rooted them into new plants. However, it seems no one I have heard from...

So, I've decided to try propagating my D. Aliciae and my D. Venusta via a couple of different methods (to see which work best, if any). I've taken cuttings of a flower stalk from each, leaf cuttings from each, and root cuttings from the Aliciae, as it needed a pot upgrade anyway, its roots were...
