glandular

This thread is in no way intended to be an endorsement of illegal marijuana use. Indeed, one could infer from this discussion that consumption of trichome resin is harmful. One internet writer showed photos of cannabis trichomes, claiming: "There is no other plant like this in nature". I...

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...

Hello everyone, Here is another call to correct your plant labels! :) A few colleagues and I have just published a 35-page review of the D. montana complex. Like our previous publications on Brazilian sundews, this paper has been decades in the making and it has definitely been the most...

Hello everyone, It is with great pleasure (and relief) that I would like to announce the publication of a 40-page paper that summarizes 23 years of field work with the Drosera villosa complex in Brazil. I think I wrote the first draft of this article back in 1997, but the writing only truly...

Is anyone's colimensis still dormant? I got mine while it was dormant and made the mistake of planting it in a normal ping mix, where it sat motionless for about a month. Then I planted it in pure perlite and it still did nothing. It's got a couple of very small glandular leaves that are almost...

Is this Scrophulariaceae species practicing carnivory? Is this Linderniaceae species practicing carnivory? Allen Lowrie and I have been working on breeding a large selection plant species, many of which do not always relate directly to this CP forum but if you grow carnivorous plants the...

I was intrigued by the temperate species when I saw them in Western Australia a few years ago and tried growing them. However, the tropical heat sent them straight into summer dormancy...they never woke up and rotted away. :-( So I got myself some seeds of the tropical species. The first...

The sun was out today.. finally! So got a few pics of some other things in flower. U. blanchetii pink flower U. fulva (yay it's fulva time!) Couple Genlisia Er sad they don't look anything like the photos posted over at cpuk from the wild Anyway.. Guess this is supposed to be G. metalica...

I came across this very interesting letter while researching Drosera that quite frankly makes me smile. It's a publication from 1873 which compares the attractive dew of the Sundew to the temptations of sin. Whether you be a religious man, or irreligious, it's still worth a read...

Thank you RSS for giving me both of these plants: Growing with U. calycifida in nothing but LFS. Interestingly glandular flower scape. Pretty little flower.

I'm slowly sorting through all my sundew pics and have narrowed it down to the ones I like. I'm still in the process of sorting and uploading them, so I will be posting a few more times throughout the rest of the break. Here are a few of my favorites: Drosera brevifolia from Hampstead, NC...

Well according to wikipedia N. ampullaria is a vegetation eater: N. ampullaria has largely moved away from carnivory and acquires a substantial portion of its nutrients from digesting leaf matter that falls to the forest floor. It is thus partially detritivorous. The species has developed...

Hey guys. I wrote a ten page (double spaced) rough draft for my Plant Physiology class last night and submitted it for peer-review in my class. The class is writing intensive and this paper is a big deal for the class. The semester is halfway through and we're just now submitting the rough...

I just got the book Triggerplants by Douglas Darnowski discussing the genus Stylidium, whose flowers hammer visiting polinators with pollen and has stalked glandular hairs to trap very small gnat like bugs. I bought the book from the man himself and he sent me his for sale list but I was...

I add fertilizer directly into the pitchers of my Nepenthes, but on N. fusca I've got free floating algae. Of course this is competition for the nutrients, but when the nutrients are used up won't it just die and release anything it's accumulated? Or is this bad? Would an algae coating on the...

hi! :D Feel free to contact me with questions/coments. I hope you enjoy and i love to trade! (in the USA only, sorry!) Brocchinia: reducta Byblis: gigantea "Robust plants now extinct at this location due to development. Canning Vale, W.A."---seeds lamellata "30-50 cm. tall, location #3...

So, I usually keep my Mexican Ping trays very shallowly wet constantly, because I don't generally get dormancy with most of my plants. But I haven't been watering as regularly as usual since I broke my leg, and last week I moved many plants into a dark room where there were no plant lights for a...

For interest: The following message was posted on an orchid forum. Replies suggested the plant was not in cultivation and had never properly been tested for carnivory, but it certainly sounds fascinating. I know there is one carnivorous orchid growing in the Tepui formations in southwestern...
