garden

Hello all. I used to be a lurker here back around 2005. I remember signing up for some free seeds and that's how it all started. I do see some familiar names are still here. I used to have a decent garden. Variety of traps, dews and neps. I even had several lovely pots and re-pots of...

Axelrod's CPs Ok new thread, and I'm going to try to confine my questions and stuff to here now that I feel like I might be starting to get the hang of things...a little. Previous threads: http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php/135461-How-am-I-doing-so-far...

How many of you are already familiar with the concept of vertical gardens? Here's a vertical garden that I took a photo of at Flora Grubb nursery in San Francisco... Flora Grubb Vertical Garden Succulents by epiphyte78, on Flickr Flora Grubb is a really neat nursery because it's by far the...

I was at a local garden center today and brought home a new ping, which has inspired me to see if I can put a name on my other pings, so there are my mystery pings: 1) The one I got today. 2) This one has been turning rosy. 3) My first ping! Any input would be greatly appreciated!

October 31st November 12th So while I was at Lowes a few months back, I noticed some Deathcubes on sale. 50% off. And I'm a sucker for hard luck cases. :) These were the "have some peat, have some plants in ziplock bags that are 'dormant', good luck" type that starting appearing in stores...

Many people are surprised to learn about the orchids and epiphytes that are native to the Southeastern US, especially Florida. So here is a thread dedicated to some of those plants. Ecyclia tampensis: Florida Butterfly Orchid; one of my favorites, found all over south FL, even as far north as...

I posted this in another forum, but I thought I'd post it here too. My understanding is that both of the Tarnoks (of S. leucophylla 'Tarnok' fame) have passed. I was just wondering if anyone knew what has become of their bog. This is what I found in a New Orleans florist's newsletter...

I have decided I want to uniformly organize my Sarracenia collection since it is getting quite large and unruly in regards to pot uniformity. I feel like the growing process would be easier with either four-inch or five-inch square pots in large community trays; right now my plants are in...

Hey guys! I am ridiculously excited because I just pitched an idea for me to teach a class on CPs at the State Botanical Garden of Georgia. I know a few staff over there, and since I already exhibit CPs at one of their events the idea went over really well. It will probably be in the spring and...

Hey, I recently scored a nice white-top at a plant sale. I was a little wary of buying a plant like this late-season, right before dormancy, but I went ahead and got it since I knew it came from a good source and I don't know that I'll find any of these locally outside this one bi-annual plant...

I want to get some help from the more experienced people here to see if I'm doing anything wrong or if there's anything I can do better. I was at a local garden center a week ago and kinda impulsively purchased two CPs they had there. I've had them IDed as N. x ventrata and D. Capensis...

I'm looking for P. lutea and P. caerulea. I'll trade some yr old sarr seedlings, VFT seedlings, VFT seeds or sarr seeds for them. I'm trying to build a North Carolina based bog garden and those are the only plants i'm lacking. Thanks!

Hey everyone. A little introduction. I have practically zero experience with carnivorous plants, in fact I don't really have much experience at all with terrestrial plants. I have however been in the aquarium hobby for a little over 3 years now. I've been keeping aquatic plants in my tanks for...

So, I have a very healthy and vigorous khasiana in a very small greenhouse in my tiny terrace garden. It has a rather large vine on it with several rather rapidly growing basal shoots. The problem is, the vine is juuuust on the verge of pressing into the top of the greenhouse. My reading tells...

I don't know if anyone's seen my intro post but I am a professional research horticulturist in a major university's plant biology department. I manage 2 4,500 sqft greenhouses full of crop plants like corn, sunflowers, rice, millet, and anything else the researchers are interested in. I also...

Hi everyone!! I'm Kevin and I'm extremely excited to finally be a part of Terraforums. I've been involved in horticulture for almost a decade. A VFT and an S. flava were my first two plants ever. Determined not to kill them, I came upon terraforums, D'Amato, and Barry Rice. The plant bug bit...

I bought a couple plants this summer labeled D. nidiformis, which have been growing nicely alongside my D. capillaris and D. tracyi, but, thanks to the cold weather, seem to be forming hibernacula. Is this actually possible with this species? Or is it likely I have something else mislabeled as...
