Cuttings giveaway: Brugmansia "Suncrest vulsa". Restricted by climate/conditions I urgently need to cut back my Brugmansia, and I will not be able to use all the cuttings. So I'd like to offer some of the cuttings in a giveaway. There are several problems with this. One is that the plant is...

The Aldrovanda is waking up and growing. So I thought I might send out a few sprigs. The plan is to do this a few ways in different posts, so if you wish to participate please read each one and decide which is appropriate to you. First in part one, this will be for one plant to one winner...

I have a bunch of poppy seeds harvested from my garden last year. They are the shorter Papaver rhoeas Shirley double and P.nudicaule plus the taller P. Somniferum Sugar Plum, Crimson King, Danish Flag, and lavender peony type. I can give away a bag with a few thousand seeds each (they are...

I have a bunch of extra sees that I won't get around to planting this spring. They are from last year, so not all of them will sprout. If you have extra space in your garden, please give the seeds a chance! All I need is a SASE to get the seeds to you. Please send a PM! :D *Carrot -...

I should start out by warning that this contest will probably take a couple months to resolve itself. The plants are slow growing in my conditions. I bought a Monstera deliciosa albovariegata at a sale 3 or so years ago at a San Francisco Botanical Garden plant sale. It was a nice looking...

The Carnivorous Plantation in southern Alabama has an opening for a grower/operations manager. Compensation is competetive salary and free use of 1 bedroom apartment on site. The candidate will be responsible for greenhouse and field growth of Sarracenia and Nepenthes. Tissue culture experience...

This post is a testament to my technological ignorance. Attaching a photo to a pm is beyond me, so I post these for jcal's perusal. Clockwise from upper left: first two pics are Masdevallia 'Fuschia Dawn Rolf', unidentified Tillandsia, Ornithophora radicans. Although potted in the pics I will...

A friend in Palo Alto had a big, heavily fruiting P. edulis f. edulis (self-fertile, small-fruited, dark purple passionfruit). It survived the cold without significant damage in December of 2013, only to be killed by raccoons last year that dug the plant up, presumably in search of worms. My...

Volunteers needed! NASC currently has several open spots on our Board of Directors, including the President, Vice President, and more. If you love Sarracenia and other CPs, and are willing to devote a few hours a week to helping conserve wild populations, we would love to have your help! Send a...

I have a Begonia luxurians plant which is about 12 feet tall and produces tons of seeds. So I have more seeds than I can easily deal with. I gave a huge number to the American Begonia Society Seed fund. These are mainly seeds that were harvested after that point. Here's the deal. Since...

Wanted: Miracle Fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) I'm looking for Miracle Fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum) plants. I have a variety of animals, plants and aquarium plants to trade. Send me a message to make it happen! :D

I've had multiple people message me on eBay asking if I can ship seeds to France, Brazil, etc... And I hate to tell them no, because it's probably very hard to find viable seeds there unless they know other hobbyists. However, I recall reading that it is illegal to ship Nepenthes seeds...

Hi guys. I have an Amorphophallus Konjac bulb I’ve been growing for maybe the past 3 years and just noticed it is starting to bloom for the first time! But it seems really, really early….I normally have it starting to sprout just a tiny leaf tip around March or April and by the time the weather...

I really like dinosaurs. I mean REALLY like dinosaurs. I am sure some of you are the same. The first person to list an obscure dinosaur fact I don't know wins a nice, well-rooted S. x areolata division. If I know all of the posted facts by Sunday night at 9:00 PM Eastern I will have my wife...

This is not a carnivorous plant. This is slightly premature in a couple ways. I just got some seeds and I'm struck how odd they look when a bit of the skin is peeled off. Notice also the odd gelatinous material associated with the seed, after soaking in water. Interestingly, I have heard the...

Passiflora foetida has intricate sticky bracts around its buds, flowers, and fruits. It can definitely trap insects there, but whether it fits the standard definitions of carnivory is dubious. Some claim yes, but it seems that the consensus at the moment is that Passiflora foetida is not...

I know a lot of people who grow Carnivorous Plants also grow Aristolochias. I'm always surprised that more don't. These I'll send for postage. I am also looking for trades, for Nepenthes plants, seedlings, cuttings (rooted, unrooted). See also my other post...

Hello! I have purchased a 75gpd membrane to build a dual membrane/high efficiency system for my reef tank system setup. I thought I had a 75gpd somewhere already, but turns out I have a 50gpd, 24gpd, and 2 100 gpd systems. I have verified (by measuring water into the membranes and water out...

The other day I saw a large cactus plant in a yard and stopped and talked with the owner. And got a couple of pieces. I do have a couple of this type, but do not usually seek out others as the tiny glochids are a pain to get out of your skin if you touch them by accident. This one was a...

Was planning on cleaning my reef tank soon and just wondered if anyone else had a saltwater tank and wanted some cheatomorpha macroalgae for a refugium. I thought it might be fun to do a cheap/easy bubble envelope trade of some cheatomorpha for something else like seeds or gemmae that would also...
