pygmies

Here is what I am wanting to trade for these plants: Any Utricularia except the commons (livida, etc.) especially humboldtii; any Drosera (especially pygmies) except the commons such as capensis, spat, and the forked ones; ANY pings. These are freshly made unrooted cutting from mature, huge...

Hi all, Hope your holidays are pleasant ones. I have been very busy re-organizing my greenhouses and have come up with some nice plants for trade. Unfortunately I do not have any photos so you will have to use your cp knowledge to help you out. I am looking for anything not on my grow list...

Okay folks. I was showing my D. scorpioides to a friend yesterday and found that (finally), after more than a year, they are all crowned with gemmae. I don't know how long i can wait to harvest these before they stunt and/or smother the plants, so if anyone knows i'd appreciate hearing. In...

Last year I had the opertunity to grow scorpiodes from gemmae, unfortunately while on vacation in the spring, it got neuked! So I'd really like to get this again, does anyone have any gemmae for sale or trade? I would also like to trade for other pygmies, and being as I have none, I'm open to...

Hello, It's been a while since I posted. I would like to know if the Dewy Pine can be grown outdoors in Temecula, Southern California. I would say my climate is an intermediate between desert and mediteranean. I do get intense sun here with low humidity, but I heard the Dewy Pine has a rep for...

Hello guys, Me and Anthro went to the Hortus Botanicus in Leiden (Netherlands) today to visit the carnivorous plants collection, which turned out to be only worth visiting for the Nepenthes genus (our intention anyway) because the Sarracenia / Drosera (the size of pygmies even though they...

I have some D. Nitidula x pulchella, and I was reading in the Savage Garden that if kept we year round, pygmies don't require a dry summer. Is this ok? It also says that they will still produce their gemmae. Am I ok to keep them wet year-round? Any help is much appreciated. ~Wes~

i dont know if im doing things right or im doing them wrong and stressing them into blooming but i am now on the 4th species(other than pygmies) to bloom. this one is nidiformis and its sending up 2 flower stalks. so is this one self fertile? do i need to pollinate it? do i need a different...

My Darlingtona, who I got in January half dead and bairly 2 inches tall at the largest trap has died.  After I adopted it and placed it in a reptiflo waterfall fountain hoping it would be kept cool by the evaporation of the water splashing over it's roots it quickly begain sending up new traps...

We had a bad one ripped through last night.  Joe & Joe did you sustain any damage?  I thought our 80 foot tree was going to go, but between the surrounding trees and the house sheilding it, it survived one my time.  My green house did not fair so well.  Mother Nature proved once again that no...

ok, no expert on pygmies, but I thought they reproduced by gemmae? This one I got from tamlin has what seems to be a flower stalk coming up from it. Does this species x flower? I'll see if I cannot get plantakiss to host a pic for me as my cpu is WAY too slow.

I am going to move some plants to a friend's greenhouse to clear up some space, and I was wondering if any of these were OK to be moved! I live in NC, temps in the 80-100 (F) in the summer (not in greenhouse) King sundew Multifida "extrema" sundew pygmies? (scorpioides) N. Rafflesania N...

Hey, I was outside today and caught one of my pygmies flowering. I'd never seen one of these before, and thought it was a cool flower. It's D. echinoblastus, grown from gemmae from Tamlin: The picture is kinda blury, but it's hard to focus on a tiny flower! Capslock

Hi everyone, Most of my pygmies are flowering at this time of the year. Here are a couple. Enjoy. D.mannii rosettes D.mannii in flower. The flowers are bigger than the plant. These are the first two flowers of the season although the plants are sending up a ton of scapes at the moment...

Hi everyone, Several of my plants of D.nitidula x pulchella have developed crestate rosettes over the years. Not sure if this is common or not, but none of my other pygmies have shown this trait, not even nitidula ssp. omissa x pulchella(different clone from the crestate plants, but identical...

The pygmies from our common friend are going dormant in the heat! Anyone experiencing the same thing?

Can anyone offer some Summer Survival Tips for growing Pygmies in the summer as temps rise? Thanks.

One of my pygmies has started to produce gemmae ( yay, my first time) however their was a mix up and I have no clue as to what this is. I would like to get a id before I send out any gemmae. here are some pics Thanks , Andre

Locking the last thread was wrong, imo, so I started another. Feel free to delete it if you feel you must, but that wouldn't be right. I apologize, but I have an opinion and I feel that I deserve to say it. You are a mod, if you feel my post breaks the rules, then feel free to delete it, I...

With the begin of the new growing season, I'd like to plant some Droseras. I know that it's not a guarantee that a seed will germinate or even that a seedling will make it through the transplanting. But still, I really only need 5-10 seeds of a plant. If anyone can hook a guy up with 10 seeds...
