I couldn't pass it up. I just couldn't. Having never owned a flowering Sarr, I knew as soon as I gazed upon that pot of rubras in a florist shop with TWO flowers high above it, that my wallet was going to be getting a little lighter. So excited was I as I climbed behind the wheel to head out...

I got a cutting from my Nepenthes and I put it in distilled water with sphagnum moss in it, I then planted it in wet Peat moss in the water, and after a week or so growth seemed to continue! I guess it seems it may be rooted! N. medusa is a very rare combination of N. bellii and x sibuyanensis...

I received this plant form a friend who had been growing them for quite some time. She had no idea what they were, but thought they were a really neat plant. The large flower looks almost like a furry starfish. I do believe this plant to be carnivorous. The large flower does attract insect and...

I was recently asked for the following information, so I decided to share it with everyone: P.S. Some species respond favorably to the addition of coral sand, but not all. Piinguicula gypsicola is one that does. Additional comments: Whenever growth appears to be slowing, I dust the leaves...
