I thought you all would like to see these.
I have access to the microscopes at my university greenhouse, so I thought I'd take some pictures of plant slices just for fun. They're not too amazing, I just took the pictures with a plain old digital camera through the microscope's eyepiece, but it's...

Hey terraforum members,
Yesterday I bought a new bag of peat moss and perlite from home depot, in order to re-pot my venus flytrap, and my three saracenia species. After mixing up the recipes per The Savage Garden, I realized that both bags of media were made by Miracle Gro. So, it looks like...
Well, I was going to get a bunch more flytraps on video today, but unfortunately something "attacked" my flytraps again so they are not looking at their best. I'll re-make this video again next year with better video clips and healthier flytraps anyway...
Here is what I had going! (be sure to...
My venus flytraps are looking good right now, and I thought I would share a couple of pictures. These are being grown outside with full sun most of the day. The medium is one part each of peat, perlite, and quartz sand, and the pots are 10" wide and 5" deep.

I recently received a Venus Flytrap and Drosera Spatulata in the mail. They both came pretty banged up. I left them in a bowl of distilled water for about two days, and transplanted both the drosera and flytrap in a clay pot (two separate pots) using only long fiber sphagnum moss.
A few...
Hi, name is Alex, from Seattle, WA.
I just got a spoonleaf sundew (spatulata), and a common flytrap. It came up in the mail pretty banged up so I have to do my best to resurrect these poor plants. Thought I'd come here for advice from the veterans. Looking forward to making this a longtime hobby.
Hey everyone,
I snapped some pics today of my flytraps enjoying the rain. Although, some of the traps closed.
I'll be honest, this is the best my flytraps have ever looked, and I'm hoping they'll be even bigger and better next year. :D
enjoy!
all of these in the bin thing are from keehn's...
Got such nice feedback from the Deep Red Guerrilla and Purple Ambush thread, I figured I'd share some photos I recently took (by request) of the FTS Yellow flytrap. FTS Yellow is a plant I started from seed in vitro in 2008. It's tentatively named "FTS Yellow" for obvious reasons ;)
Enjoy!
I bought this flytrap from a local nursery, the first one I've kept since the one I got (and promptly killed) as a kid. It was mixed in with a bunch of hybrid pitcher plants and being kept in the shadiest part of the nursery (north wall, no direct sun at all), so as you can guess, all the plants...
Hey! I was checkiong up on my flytrap trays and I found this little guy.
He was broken off of a mother plant as a tiny division this early spring. It's the only survivor of the 4 there were. Looks like it has elongated necks on every leaf as opposed to the others I have/ I have seen that...
I finally got around to taking some photos of my 'Coquillage' Venus fly trap and I created a page on FlytrapCare for the official cultivar:
Dionaea 'Coquillage' Venus fly trap
Like the Alien flytrap I recently posted photos of, this is my first growing season with Coquillage and I'm really...
After putting my flytrap in my greenhouse to get more sun I saw today that a lot of the traps had partially closed and bent. It was happy with the 12ish hours of sunlight per day but over the last two days it reached about 100F inside the greenhouse! I've now put it back on my windowsill until...
I bought a VLT about 3 weeks ago. For two weeks I left it outside during the day to get sunlight and catch insects and brought it inside at night to avoid any extreme weather/storms.
It didn't catch or eat anything for two weeks. So I decided to cut a small piece of earthworm to give it...
the colour isn't amazing, but at least they're growing well! :-D

Anyone have any Venus Flytrap pollen to spare or trade? I am looking for a 50/50 trade. I switch my pollen and you switch your pollen. I would like another kind of pollen than typical. But if that is what you only have (typical Venus flytrap pollen) then i will take it. I would like half of the...
I know I saw another post in the last 6 months or so about a seedling flytrap flowering but this is pretty crazy. These ‘Big Mouth’ seedlings are only 60 days old are there are about 15 – 20 of them flowering already. I have about 300 seedlings in these photos so it is a small percentage...
Spring, the most wonderful time of the year IMO! Here are a few pics of what spring is like around here...
I hope you enjoy them.

EDIT: oops. This isn't pink venus. It is Big Mouth.

We took up a donation of some plants for one of our military members here to help him get a collection back going upon his return home. While he was really appreciative it turns out he was redeployed. I don't think the rest of the guys would mind me putting them up here for auction. Up for bid...
Hello everyone:)! Since my collection is starting to wake up and look a lil presentable I thought i'd share some pics. I don't have anything spectacular and i've seen much prettier plants on the forum but I think its an okay collection for a noob. I started collecting these Nov of last year and...
