I need help urgently. My oldest nepenthes has flowered 6 times in a row nonstop, and as it flowers each leaf gets smaller. The vine is more than 4 feet long. The leaves used to be 6 inches long but now the one at the tip of the vine is a single inch long. I think the cause of this might be that...
I've heard rumors about this happening, but I wonder if any of you have seen this occur in your own plants: gender switching. I have a BE clone of N. vogelii that flowered 14 months ago, and provided me with loads of pollen, with which I successfully made several crosses.
A few days ago I was...
So, I have a D. multifida 'extrema' plant that has never flowered for me. It's already survived one winter under lights, but I'm getting nervous only having one, so I want to start at least one cutting in a terrarium as a backup.
I'm curious as to the best way to do this. I know a few people...
I have a medium sized thread leaf sundew that flowered in June, producing these:
Yesterday I noticed what looked like another flower stalk coming up. Is this normal, or is mine doing something odd?
For giveaway I have 300+ mixed seeds from double-flowered perennial Aquilegia (also known as Columbine or Granny's Bonnet) hybrids. The seeds are from blue and pink flowered varieties of A. x hybrida, and may also result in hybrids thereof. These appreciate a cold stratification, but don't...
Hi everyone,
2 years ago my family and I moved to the east coast and my mom painstakingly dragged along her huge tropical orchid collection with her from California. 2 years later her orchid collection has slowly withered away. Between the harsh winter and rampant scale infestations courtesy of...
Hi folks,
Got a strange problem with some D. rotundifolia I'm growing from Brasstown Bald (Towns/Union counties, Georgia). One of only 2-3 reported locations for this plant in my state, not currently in cultivation, and I'd hate to lose 'em. Two years old, just flowered and are hopefully...
I'm in the middle of a massive pond cleanup on a severely neglected pond. There are far more water lilies than this pond and our nursery can handle. These are white flowered, some tinged with pink, sorry no picking. I'll give a piece of rhizome at least 4" long to any participating member of the...
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...
I'm offering two rooted cuttings of this red flowered, non fragrant spring blooming orchid cactus. The mother plant will be blooming in a few days. These cuttings were taken in the fall and sort of fell by the wayside over the winter. I was surprised to find them rooted and with decent new...
Okay, I try, I really do, to keep my plants labeled. But somehow in moving some plants to the new bog last year I must have lost one. This little guy, not many pitchers and only one flower is among the rubra collection. The sarrs I know are there are jonesii, jonesii f. heterophylla...
In January, my Utricularia chrysantha began to flower. However, since the container I was growing them in was too short, the flowers hit the lid and began growing sideways without flowering. In March, I transplanted them to a much taller container and the stalks began to grow upright. They still...
I've been officially growing carnivorous plants for over a year now. I am happy to say that I am finally ready to 'pay it forward' and do my first giveaway!!!
What I have are two seed packets of Drosera burmannii (approximately over 100 seeds per packet). You can see a photo of the parent...
I'm a returning CP enthusiast trying to get back into the hobby. Luckily, Memphis is a great city to grow Sarrs and other temperate CPs. I look forward to reading and learning the vast amounts of information that you vet growers generously post on these forums. I also got back into the hobby...
The first of my flowers for this year which is along way in front of all the rest. This is the first ever flower from this clone. This youngster was taken from the parent plant last year after I accidentally damaged the parent's new pitchers. The parent has never flowered, this year's bud being...
Got a very last minute Drosera kenneallyi up for auction. Plant is about 2.5" across and already has flowered this season. Opening bid is $10. Winner pays for shipping ($5.95 USPS). US Only. Will be shipped bare root. Paypal email is: rcl27@cornell.edu.
Hey guys, i'm relatively new to the site, and to growing CPs. I have a pretty small collection established and some others in the works, but my question is about plants flowering. More specifically the plants ive had for the past 1-3 years since i've started. I have white tops pitcher plants...
Drosera spatulata "white flower" x 'Tamlin'
Up for sale is one plant selected from my parent pot of plants. Both parents of this cross are white-flowered spoonleaf sundews and very vigorous, and the offspring are no different. Reaching at least 2.5" across, they have semi-erect tapering leaves...
Begonia bogneri is a very odd Begonia, as its leaves are grasslike, and it's a miniature. It's a plant from a warm, wet part of Madagascar. It's tuberous, although it does not have an obligate dormancy, grown indoors. For whatever reason, it's gotten a reputation as a difficult plant, tends...
