hood

So, I recently returned from a visit to Phil Faulisi's place -- I was so astonished and dumbfounded by the mutant carnivores that reside there! It is almost as if Phil has this magical CP growing aura surrounding him and his house! The photo fun is about to start: As a note, I will break the...

I just observed a green fly actually tumble into the pitcher of a Sarr. leuko. Tarnok. While checking out my mini-bogs, I noticed a green fly lapping nectar under the edge of a hood of a pitcher. It continued moving under the hood until it was centered, and then just fell into the pitcher. I...

i was wondering if i should put some rain water inside of the pitcher. the pitchers hood is parrot beak shaped to help keep water out but i my friend told me they require rain water to digest the prey.

hello, this is my first post, I've been wanting to add a S. minor 'okee giant' to my collection since I saw it on a 1986 documentary called "realm of the alligator" about the Okefenokee swamp, and I've noticed differences between pics of 'okee giants', like the ones in the film have an...

As a follow-on to the Travis thread (as well as Bucky & Joel), here are a few more Sarrs w/ some nice red coloration (they keep prying me away from my work) :nono: Two S. flava var rubricorpora plants from the Appalachicola, FL area. Clone 2 is on the left w/ lots of red and clone 1 is on the...

Up for auction is one Sarracenia 'Red Bug,' offered by PetFlytrap. This is of the Bug Series hybrids, produced by Dr. Larry Mellichamp at UNCC. This is our personal favorite of the Bug Series; the pitchers are medium tall, like its S. alabamensis parentage. But when grown in full sun, the upper...

Up for auction is one Sarracenia 'Dana's Delight,' offered by PetFlytrap. Of the more cmoonly available hybrids, this is by far our favorite; the pitchers are tall, just like its S. leucophylla parentage. But when grown in full sun, the upper pitcher and hood becomes a deep, deep red; and where...

I recently had the chance to visit Phil Faulisi’s place – and what a pure joy and honor it was. I can only hope that these photos of Phil’s hybrids can sufficiently capture their entrancing beauty. I was awestruck. I was mesmerized. I was hypnotized. I was on a Sarracenia high… !! :-)) As a...

Intro: For several months I have been keeping a diary of my plants behaviour, sizes, growth etc. I've kept this diary more so I can show myself how well my plants are growing, and give me more drive to keep them alive and well, than as a real science experiement. However reading back through my...

I had some time to kill today while I was waiting for the Nascar race in Talladega. That's a great track by the way. I was sitting on a swing that is next to a fence around my property. On the other side of the fence is a row of trees. In the leaves I heard something moving. That's nothing...

Murphy's Law, my "red tube" flava, which I had grown from seed to maturity, mysteriously died over winter. I am looking for a nice division or healthy young plants(s) of S. flava rubricopropora or nice, heavily veined S. flava ornata. I may also be interested in other attractive, upright...

My Cephalotus recently lost 2-3 pitchers, and has put 3 in their place, it's starting to clump. Amongst this clump I'm noticing a lot of things I haven't seen before, smaller mature pitchers sort of hidden, a few non-carnivorous green leaves below it all, and, something else. I noticed a very...

Hello everyone, I'm still digging around here, but I miss my plants while at work as a result I've decided that I need a sundew terrarium here at work. The temperatures are always constant, and I even have a south window that gets light during the day, I'd probably need a hood light...

Hey guys I'm new to the forums and relatively new to CP's. I currently have two mini bogs created, but I am looking to make a terrarium for some neps. I am probably going to buy a 20 gallon tank that is 3 feet wide and like a foot or foot and a half tall...not sure on the exact dimensions...

I was watering my CP's out on the balcony tonight, and in the process noticed my Ventricosa was enticing a guest over for dinner, er, to have for dinner. This was awesome to watch, as I've never actually seen my nepenthes 'catch' anything. I just will happen to notice something in its belly...

Finally got this project done, took forever. 150 gallons, 24" front to back 30" tall 48" side to side These measurements are for the glass tank not including the frame and hood. T5 8bulb It's been growing out a couple weeks and plants seem to like the conditions. We'll see how the noobs...

Hello everyone, I have a 10 gal. tank and was going to have a buddy build a hood for it. I need it to be taller so I don't lose any grow space. Anyone have a nice photo or diagrams of a good hood setup? I want to use 2 Compact Fluorescent bulb's not the tube lights, and if someone knows...

I return from lurking with a whole string of questions, and a bit of a background story to help put this all in perspective (This is a MUST be done situation, not a "I just want to"). Oh and an apology for any unintentional ranting that may come up. My daughter, otherwise known as "The Tropical...
