Hi Folks: We're really looking forward to the ICPS conference where we can catch up with all our friends, hear interesting talks, and see some really nice plants. Meadowview has a table and several volunteers attending the conference. We hope you will stop by our booth and hear about our...

Hi Folks: Some good news. After three years of very hard word (grant writing, politics, state and local approvals, etc.) we closed Friday afternoon on the expansion of the Joseph Pines Preserve. The expansion takes us from 100 acres to more than 231 acres with the purchase of two adjoining...

I recently purchased 5 large Sarracenia from Meadowview. They were all in great condition and were very healthy. They all had long flower stalks that had almost mature buds. As usual, the scapes bended in response to being in a small bag. I planted them in my bog and figured they would become...

I wanted to share photos of my pink- and yellow-flowered S. rubra wherryi clones, along with a red-flowered clone from the same location (Washington County, Alabama) for comparison. This is the first time I've had all three flowering together. Also including a photo of the variant plants...

As mentioned in my post in the sundew section I am doing some research involving Sarracenia. My partner and I are going to be using Oryzalin (Surflan), Colchicine, and cobalt-60 radiation to try and induce mutations in ten species of Sarracenia. We will be using S. alabamensis ssp. wherryi, S...

Hi Folks: We have good news on a number of fronts in pitcher pant land conservation. We now have two signed contracts from the landowners on both sides of Joseph Pines Preserve in Sussex County, VA. The land purchases will be funded by a grant from DEQ and a loan from the State of Virginia...

Instead of making several threads for every season, I'll be posting my photos from Meadowview here. I live close by and volunteer frequently, so this one thread will keep things nice and tidy. Anyways, we just finished up our volunteer week yesterday. We got a lot accomplished, as you will...

Hi Folks: It looks like we have a Holiday Volunteer week emerging Dec. 17-23 with tasks splitting between horticultural work in the greenhouse (sowing seed and repotting seedlings, tending Nepenthes) and restoration field work on the Central Virginia Preserve (burning brush in fire barrels...

I live close to Meadowview, so why not go back to visit on breaks? That's exactly what I did. We recently received two very, very large Nepenthes x mixtas. WHen I say large I mean massive. Beast by Wire Man, on Flickr A spotted Nepenthes ampullaria that Mike donated. QA133068 by Wire Man...

I wanted to share some pictures I took today of some Nepenthes that were looking good in the Meadowview greenhouse. Meadowview's Nepenthes collection is comprised of donation by generous members. Nepenthes albomarginata - gift from Doug Walker, leaves and pitchers are red. Nepenthes...

Hi Folks: We just completed our third summer of the Meadowview intern program. Interns Graham Hunt and Richard Curzon did a fantastic job and I really hated to see them leave and return to school. Richard got college credit for his internship through Brigham Young University where he is...

Hi Folks: Due to the generosity of our many donors our Central Virginia Preserve note is down to less than $8000, from $19,000 in May 2010! We've completed phase 1 of our restoration program with a partial hardwood removal and planting of native Caroline County Sarracenia purpurea. Thanks to...

Hi all: Just updating on recent finds in southeast Virginia as we continue to search for rare plants. Recenty we canoed a millpond in southern Virginia and found what we think to be a new county record for Utricularia radiata. It was a beautiful pond with good biodiversity and excellent water...

Hello, We have a female N. khasiana at Meadowview Bio. Research Station just sending up a flower and it would be great if we could get a hold of some pollen from another grower's N. khasiana plant. Is anyone in the position to send us some pollen? If so, please let us know and we'll go from...

We're turning up a lot of interesting, possible very rare finds in this new area that we have access to in Surry, VA. Last week we found red milkweed, a yet-to-be-identified dwarf golden sphagnum moss, and a black tiger beetle, possibly Cicindela abdominalis, which is very rare in this state...

One of the Nepenthes khasianas at Meadowview in currently in the process of opening two flowers. Does anyone else have this plant, and, more importantly, is it in flower? We do not know the sex of the plant yet, but we will find out very soon. We would like to make as much use of the pollen...
