    Making space - N. alata x maxima

    I know at least one person asked me about these, but unfortunately I can't remember your name - sorry! I have fifteen well-rooted stem cuttings with healthy side-nodes available to ship bare-root. (Also three apical cuttings but you'll have to make a really good offer if you want one of those.)...

    Macfarlanei?

    Ok so this is one of those plants I had kind of forgotten that I have always secretly loved. (You guys know what I'm talking about*...) *Right? After a wide search of the all the photofinder pictures of this species, and a quick scan of an old thread it appears that this plant either displays...

    beneficial bugs ID

    http://www.uiweb.uidaho.edu/so-id/entomology/Benefical_Insects.htm Some of the photos were replaced if not the best quality. Indiscriminately dousing plants with harsh insecticides whenever a bug is seen near your plants will also kill many of the these bugs. Neem is good to use. The bug...

    B52 characteristics (outside banding)

    It's an odd coincidence that I'm posting twice today about two different kinds of banding today. This one is about B52, and has me kind of confused: I received a B52 from tissue culture from David Conner, which came in a "clump" of two plants sharing a rhizome and were in the process of...

    N. talangelicious x veituoso

    This hybrid is the BE-3190, and this is what BE has to say of their single clone: 'Nepenthes talangensis x veitchii The N. veitchii parent is a spectacular highland form with striped peristome, so we have high hopes for this hybrid, although we haven't yet raised one to sufficient size to see...

    Nepenthes hamata: Some Seed-grown Variations . . .

    There has been some recent discussion about morphological variability -- even within species -- and the occasional difficulty with identification. While that is certainly not the case here, I have photos of two pots of the very same seed-grown batch of Nepenthes hamata -- grown under identical...

    And the Plants!

    http://terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=120193 Thanks to many of you, my obsessive perfectionism has been sated. I have finally been able to get an estimate as to how my grow-rack and situation will look like. However, I know Highland/Intermediate Nepenthes should do alright in this type...

    Baby pronounced "DEAD" wakes up!

    I found this on one of the other boards I frequently visit. Just wow!! Imagine the mixed feelings. I can't understand how faint a heartbeat can be, before they pronounce a pre-mature baby dead. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8191023.stm V

    short and tubby

    N. ventricosa x (ventricosa x talangensis) is the cross. There seems to be a fair amount of variability in this cross with color. No surprise since it is not a primary cross The intriguing aspect is that many of them are quite squat and wide in pitcher shape. Some of them dramatically so! It...

    Hello - I am new to the forum and have some questions regarding U. reinformis. I purchased a plant which arrived one week ago. The day it arrived, the temps here were about 18 degrees, however, the plant itself felt about 40 degrees. I promptly put it in a highland terrarium where I have...

    Proper pronunciation of Aéropostale

    OK. I have always pronounced it as aero-pastal. Really "aero" with a noticable E sound, and not "arrow".The "post" part of "aeropostale" I pronounce like the "past" in "Pasta". I actually asked the dude that worked there yesterday, and he pronounced it as arow (like "a row boat" with A and Row...
