    Byblis dewdrops photos - the actual version

    For the past 10 months, I had the good fortune of being able to grow and flower 2-7 plants of each of the seven tropical Byblis species. At first, I noticed that there seemed to be some variation between each species in terms of the how their leaves looked in very bright light. But being an...

    Female Maxima Sending Up a Flower Spike

    So a maxima cutting I received a few months ago has been doing quite well and is sending out a flower stalk. The leaf just started unfurling to show it. This is only my second flower, so I don't exactly how long it should take to be ready for pollen. If anyone has any male flowers that might...

    Science/Taxonomy discussion section...

    Hi y'all, I was thinking it would be nice to have a section on TF dedicated to taxonomy and science talk (such as plant genetics, more of that cool pollen tube stuff) A lot of these conversations stay relegated to the chatbox, and I think it would be cool to have some of them more easily...

    My male maxima dark x talangensis is in flower right now and pollen is visible. I don't have any experience gathering and shipping pollen so it keeps, so if anyone wants it they're going to have to explain the process to me. :)

    The plant on the right started branching earlier but the other did not until the main stem broke in a storm. Pollen from one is used on the other as the species do not self-pollinate. The two flowers look different. AND the seeds from them are also different! :-O With bare eyes the...
