garden

Didn't know exactly where to post this or how much attention it will get on this forum but here it goes regardless. My girlfriend just moved into the first floor of her grandmothers house. Eventually I may move in with her but regardless of whether that happens or not there is an old dilapidated...

So I realized today that I haven't been on TF in a while, so I wanted to take few minutes to post a quick update about what I've been doing for the last 15 months, it's been quite busy. Around the time of my last post I had just graduated with my degree in Communications and was looking for a...

I'm looking for any mature divisions of Heliamphora that are not heterodoxa x minor, these are not for me but would prefer ones different from the ones on my grow list in case I do want to get a division back from them later (they would be going to a botanical garden) my grow list: Heliamphora...

Offering one Amorphophallus konjac corm (Smaller Corpse Flower, Voodoo Lily, Snake Palm, etc.) Has just finished blooming, spadix height about five feet tall. Nice coloring and nice pungent odor! Weighed 12 pounds and a few ounces last Fall when went into dormancy. Weighs a little less...

Every dealing I've ever had with John Brittnacher, despite never having met him in person, has been fantastic. He is just so nice and knowledgeable. Almost 10 years ago I first encountered all his ICPS grow guides and through those he was just as instrumental in teaching me to grow CPs as The...

Just spent a heartbreaking afternoon tearing out my herb garden. The winter from heck killed off everything except a couple of native flowers. Some of the plants had been there for over twenty years. The worst was the hardy rosemary. Originally planted as a seedling from a two inch pot in the...

Hello everyone, I feel it would be appropriate to firstly introduce myself before I explain my reasons behind joining this forum. My name is Alex from Yorkshire in the UK and although not new to keeping carnivorous plants, I am new to actually keeping them alive! I recently rekindled my love...

I'm hosting the Wesson Garden Club meeting in April at my house. The program will be on Carnivorous Plants. I've done two different programs, showing DVD's made by others. We have a lot of new members and I'd like to know if you have any pointers. I have never gotten anyone in the group...

This is sort of my first official bog garden I have created. What it lacks in diversity it makes up for in overall simplicity :-D. It has one sole carnivorous inhabitant - S. x 'reptilian rose'

One thing I'm always curious about is how everyone else grows their plants. I've only been collecting for a little while, so I've been sort of figuring it out as I go along. Let's see what you've got! Post a picture if possible, describe your lighting, any temperature regulation, where the stuff...

Hi Folks, My name is Rich and I'm from Upstate New York (Zone 5b). I'm 25 yrs old and working within the field of Mental Health. I've been into carnivorous plants for some time now, but never had an opportunity to get involved in the hobby. I've been doing loads of research; both online and...

I was playing with this for KendraSue's post and it's sort of a spinoff of what we think others look like. I was having so much fun with it that it kept growing. lol But I think my mind has blown a gasket I can't think of more. These are the ones that came to mind easy so I thought everybody...

I'm going to have a few days to kill in San Francisco in two weeks. I'll be going to the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden and California Carnivores. I might also visit the Conservatory of Flowers again for their great nepenthes collection. Is there anything plant-wise hidden away in that range that...

Hi guys! I am just starting out my carnivorous plant garden and was looking to expand my collection a bit. I currently have 3 species of Drosera: D. burmannii, D. capensis, and D. madigascariensis. I am looking for Drosera regia seeds in particular, I have been having a great deal finding a...

This is how I've been growing this plant that I got at the 2013 NECPS show. I noticed it had a white cottony thing on it and i immediately pulled it off and squashed it without finding out what it was. Here is what was left. It went from the leaf to the pitcher. Any ideas what I might be...

Hello everyone. My name is Curtis, new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself. My biggest hobby is obviously carnivorous plants. But I also have started a relatively large vegetable garden this year. I am a BMW technician. I also like to watch hockey and ride dirt bikes. See you all around! :)

Hi guys! I have a neat little request that I'm hoping some of you might be able to help me out with. In June, I've volunteered to teach an adult-level class on how to grow carnivorous plants at my local botanical garden. Among many things I'll be teaching will be the basics of constructing...
