pronounced

I just got a nepenthes from a local grower... Not sure what it is, i think it may be too young to tell. If I am not sure on what nep this is, should i treat it as Lowland? or Highland? or somewheres in between? someone mentioned ventrata, but doesn't N ventrata have a lack of pronounced wings...

Indeed, My Sarracenia and Cephalotus and other pitchers seem to be growing wider than taller as time progresses. My Sarracenia 'bugscoop' I received from Victoria had pitchers where you could barely fit one finger in the mouth. The new one can easily fit two in at once! It's more than doubled...

The snake was stuck in a bird house and not in the rafters of a house. I can't believe that a boy died because of peoples fear of snakes. Why's most peoples first reaction when they see something they don't like is to kill it?

A recent pitcher opened on N. 'Predator'. The peristome used to be solid maroon on all the older pitchers, now the color is starting to weaken and the 'teeth' are starting to become more pronounced. This is an older pitcher from the same plant. As you can see much darker coloration and a less...

I sometimes find myself wondering why Brocchinia is considered a carnivorus/semi-carnivorous Bromeliad when Aechmea Fasciata (Urn Plant) is not. The latter also seems to have the crumbly, waxy deposit on it's leaves that the former has,  Aechmea also has a very pronounced central water cup -...

How long should I expect gemmae to do there thing(not sure of the proper term). I planted D. nitidula x pulchella. It's still a bit chilly out here on the california coast, so if they need spring to do it I might need to wait longer. Oh and how wet should I keep them, the savage garden says how...

Hello. On July 1st, I recieved a N. inermis from a nep nursery in Canada. Since then, it has produced a pitcher. Looking at the pitcher, I am kinda thinking its one of the hybrids from malaysiana. Can anyone conferm this? It has a red tinted lid, striped peristome, red tinted wings, red spots...

i've decided to look for a CP that doesn't need a winter dormancy period (as he vft's will be in the fridge roughly this time next year) and nepenthes seemed like a good option... my mum's looking around for christmas gift ideas and i *subtly* dropped a hint for a PFT giftcard ;) would a...

Okay, I have some S.Flava (haven't figured out any more detail on speciesyet, sorry), with what to me look like older pitchers on it... (roughly 3 feet tall) Anyways, some of the really older ones' lids are getting kinda old looking, the red is really getting pronounced and they are getting...

I was wondering if anyone else is growing the form of Drosera capillaris from the Northern range of this species. I am very curious if anyone has experienced a sort of hibernacula along with a noticable dormancy for this form. My plants produce a loose hibernacula during the winter months, which...

Hi everyone, I went on yet another fieldtrip over the weekend in the hope of finding some nice forms of U. dichotoma and D. binata. I didn't have any luck with the binata but had very good success with the dichotoma. The place I visited was the Grampians National Park (supposedly has...

Hello! I have a Drosera adelae. It recovered quickly from being mailed to me, and has thrown up at least a dozen leaves in the last two months. The only weird thing is, the new leaves are ruffled on the edges, less succulant, and sport sparse growths of feeding tentacles on the upper surface...
