    Female N. ventricosa x talangensis Seeking Pollen!

    My techniques for the long term freezing, and testing of Heliamphora pollen.

    Per special request... I was going to do a more formal write up but meh, too much going on and lack of motivation LOL. Prior to freezing pollen I dehydrate it. This removes most of the moisture, preventing much of the damage associated with the process. Now, Ill be honest... I've not done any...

    My techniques for the harvesting of Heliamphora pollen.

    Harvesting of Heliamphora pollen is one of those things that was very simple once I learned how. Much of the issue came in not knowing when to harvest. When the flower first opens, the anthers are lower than the stigma and perpendicular to the pistil (see image). As the flower matures the...

    Nepenthes Pollen Available Soon

    Thanks to a recent trade with a member here I have acquired a male Nepenthes x 'Maggie Jones' that is flowering. None of the flowers are open yet but they will be shortly. Does anyone have any female Nepenthes that are also about to open flowers? I'd be willing so overnight some pollen to you in...

    D. regia from seed to maturity

    Does anyone know how long it takes a "typical" regia to go from seed to a mature flowering plant in its natural habitat? Is it usually significantly different when the plant is grown "under glass"? Also, I'm wondering if I can store regia pollen in the fridge and, if I can, how long will it last?

    Here's hoping three times is the charm..flava ornata pollinating

    Okay, I have two S. flava v ornatas from two different locals. One grows slowly, and produces only one, hugh, flower a year. The other divides rapidly and puts out multiple flowers, but is not as striking. I have tried for two seasons to cross them. The first year I put pollen from the...

    A potential cultivar: Sarracenia 'Frilled Dragon"

    I've been growing sarracenia for the last 25+ years and have done some occasional hybridizing to see what develops. Like many who have spent years doing this, I quickly came to realize that a plant truly worthy of cultivar status doesn't come along that often. I look at many that are...
