After a long pause growing plants I recently started againin January 2016. Hopefully the spring will allow me to ramp up slowly and see what species I can grow outside without much trouble.
Darlingtonia
- D. californica
Dionaea
- D. muscipula typical form
Seeds
- D. muscipula (sprouted)...
I noticed that my D. prolifera has some tentacles on its petioles. Has anyone else experience this with D. prolifera or other sundews?
Sorry the pic isn't the best, but if you look towards the center of the plant, where another flower stalk is coming up, you'll see some long glandular tentacles...
I will have some pollen in the future, as my Eldon Lee is flowering again. This is one of Bruce Bednar's personal creations. Same as always, Ill send you the pollen, you send back half the seeds.
EDIT: exact parentage: ([Kampotiana x Maxima]x[Northiana x Maxima]) x (Alata x Khasiana)-fwew...
While photographing Drosera petiolaris last week I found a couple of plants with some seriously mutated flowers with a mess of tentacles all mixed in with the other flower parts.
Some weren't too bad but have a look at this one in particular:
I noticed a post in the VFT forum about a mutant...
Hey all
I have been doing field trips over the past few months trying to photograph every CP in the area as I'm not sure how long I'll be here. One of the Drosera I most wanted to see was D. falconeri but it's quite picky and you can be very close, and find lots of other species, but not...

If you have any suggestions for ways to improve the organization of my growlist, please let me know!

This are my two largest N. robcantleyi plants. Both are planted in 8" baskets. One is squaty with a hooded lid. The other is longer but has a wide peristome and narrow opening. Both are quite dark. I hope both flower soon.

Hey everyone,
I'm much more of a lurker on this forum but thought that this would be worth posting.
My male N. clipeata is coming into flower and was really hoping to find a female to produce species seed. I would love to send pollen to anyone that owns a female whether it is in flower or...
Hey all
I am currently working in Darwin in the north of Australia and spend most of my weekends messing around in the sandy swamps around a place called Howard Springs. Allen Lowrie did a trip up here way back in 1991 when he discovered Byblis aquatica and there are several species of Drosera...
Last winter I got quite a lot Drosophyllum seeds and put them in my special pots. In early spring the started to germinate. The first eleven I planted in a pot with soil from a very poor sandy pine forest. Lots of roots included from Vaccinium vitis-idaea for possible mycorrhiza partners.
From...
A follow up to the plants in bud and flower.
It's been a mild Autumn so the plants are still showing quite a lot of top growth. It's notable that the red plants are further into dormancy than the others
Hi Ladies/Gents.

A number of my Pinguicula are in Winter growth now. It's exciting to see them change.

Figured I'd add this here... I've got some succession pictures for you. First, though, I will give you some background on this plant. It came out of dormancy this past spring and flowered for me, because I wanted to get seed from it, and my FTS Maroon Monster was flowering and I thought that...
A couple of months ago I purchase from EP a specimen plant Nepenthes x [(lowii x veitchii) x (boschiana x campanulata)] and a day ago I notice it has a flower spike. The plant is just producing new leaves and pitchers so no mature pitchers yet, so I don't have a picture of the pitcher (I...
I have 20 Mimosa Pudica seeds offered in a giveaway. This is a non-carniverous plant. It is however a very fun,easy, and interesting plant to grow. The leaves retract if they are touched. But then they recover to full in a short time. It has a beautiful pink flower that reminds me of a fiber...
Hello everyone, Joe here. This give away is for D. peltata (NZ), D. peltata 'pink flower' (NSW), & D. auriculata seeds. These seeds are a few years old but have been kept cold and should germinate no problem. I also have seeds of the other species listed below, but viability is uncertain. If the...
