    Orchid Rescue: Variegated Cymbidium from Trader Joe's

    In this case the Orchid needs to be rescued FROM my care. About a year ago I bought a couple Orchids at Trader Joe's. One I've left alone, and is doing fine. The other I decided to divide up, unfortunately I didn't really have enough spots with sufficient sunlight to place the divisions, so...

    Pygmy sundews, scrambled, pls. (trans: need help) :)

    Hi, all! So... talk about a lesson learned the hard way. My two-year-old daughter thought it would be oh so hilarious if she yanked out the ID tags on 8 of the 13 species of pygmy sundew whose gemmae I acquired for the first time this past fall. In short, I have no idea which sundews are which...

    Making lots more Drosera binata 'Marston's Dragon'

    I realize D. 'Marston's Dragon' is not exactly uncommon, nor is it difficult to propagate. This thread is mainly to document the origins of some plants I'll post as giveaways. I also wanted to ask some questions along the way, as I have a almost no experience propagating any Droseras. I...

    Looking to get into orchids, any recommendations?

    So my terrarium and outdoor pots look kind of bland, and I've always found orchids interesting. I noticed that they seem to have similar nutrient and soil requirements to CPs, so I was thinking of growing a few with CPs. I was thinking of a crane orchid for venus flytraps and sarracenia, and...

    Arisaema nepenthoides

    Last year I decided to transfer many of my Arisaema from pots to the garden. To facilitate drainage I took some wide tubs and cut the bottoms out, sank the bases a couple of inches in the garden soil and top filled, so giving some small raised beds. This is the first of the species to show and...

    LF: Red VFT, Drosera aliciae, other small CPs

    I'm looking for a few small CPs to grow outside in an essentially frost-free climate with fairly cool summers (75/55). This post is partly to go along with the very long one that I just posted...

    For Trade: Cuttings, Plants, Keiki from my Mom's (non CPs)

    I was over at my mom's, partly to get a picture of a Begonia, and I broke a piece off that plant by accident. So I decided to gather a few things and make it interesting. Here's what I left with: 1) Kalanchoe 'Pink Butterflies' 2) Calceolaria mexicana seedling (annual, reseeds) 3) Begonia...

    Fungal fruiting body

    A photo of the fruiting bodies of a fungus that's in quite few of my pots. The 'mushrooms' appear around this time annually. Any ideas? Is it beneficial?

    Drosera hamiltonii - two different clones (as labeled) West Australia and Esperance Region, SW Australia D. hamiltonii is a fairly easy to cultivate rosetted sundew from Western Australia. This species apparently is self-incompatible so genetically different plants are needed to produce seed...

    Sarracenia leucophylla Hurricane Creek, AL × alabamensis (ca. 25 seeds) Some of last years crosses. Flowers were bagged before opening and until a few weeks after petal drop.

    Drosera trinervia Stormsvlei Kloof, RSA seed - at least 25 seeds. This winter growing South African Sundew is one of the easiest to cultivate of the winter growers. It has the distinction of being the widest ranging of all the South African Drosera species. I find the seeds fairly easy to...

    Bog Plant - Lance-Leaf Violet (Viola lanceolata) - SubRosa $2

    Opening bid: $2 Up for bid is as much Lance-Leaf Violet as I can stuff into a USPS Priority Mail small box. For me, this is an invasive weed, that increases via stolons as well as seed in most of my Sarracenia pots. But as they say, one man's invasive weed is another man's pretty (invasive and...

    S. flava withering and deformed?

    So I got 2 divisions of mature S. flava from a giveaway, and for a few weeks they were all making new good growth, lots of flower stalks (which I trimmed off) and lots of developing pitchers. However recently as the pitchers have just about to open, they turn brown and slope downwards, then...

    Drosera binata var multifida f. extrema (reg $15)

    Drosera binata var multifida f. extrema Since I grow these outdoors all year round they die down to the roots in winter. So they don't grow as quickly as they would otherwise.
