spring

anybody grow their flaytraps outdoors in the spring and summer? whats up with all the huge carbon footprint, terrariums when you can set it outside?

Well the title says it all. Over the weekend, now that school is out, there have been a lot of restless individuals in the neighborhood where a friend of mine lives. This friend of mine permits me to keep a small garden of temperate CPs on his back porch knowing that I am in between...

So lately I've noticed something disturbing in my bog. After a strong start to the growing season, many of my plants seem to be suffering from untimely demises. This is my second year with the bod garden so I'm not sure what's wrong as the situation hasn't changed since last year with the...

I will send 3 freshly plucked Ceph leaves from whatever clones looks like they have the healthiest leaves on the day of shipping. All you need to do to enter is to post a photo of YOUR ugliest plant! (how you define ugly is up to you) and be able to follow the rules below. Winner will be...

Another Arisaema I left out all winter in its pot (UK). I moved it into a very shaded part of the garden in early spring and it appears to love it down there. I've grown Arisaema for many years but never so shaded as I am this year. Arisaema speciosum

My Sarracenia Alata flower has been open for several days, but I haven't seen a single insect come near it. Does anybody know what type of insects pollinate them or what time of day I should be looking for them? I'm hoping to get a picture. Today's weather is partly cloudy with temperatures...

This has been a tough year for my outdoor plants. First of all, I ordered this batch of plants from Mike Wang, who grows them in CA outdoors where they experienced a short, mild Winter and an early Spring. When I got the plants in February, most of them had begun Spring growth already and many...

I shot some pics of a few wild Sarracenia minor today from my grandmother's property. I've known of and tended to some of these plants for nearly 25 years now. I recently spent eight years in the Army, during which time I didn't tend them. This is the first time that I had a chance to view...

This spring marks 20 years that I have been growing CP's! :) I started my collection in the Spring of 1994, I was 25 years old and had just moved to Rochester for a new job.. Some of my VFT's, and a S. leucophylla or two, are probably those original 20 year old plants! ;) (I have no idea which...

I haven't posted here for ages! For that matter I haven't done much photography for ages. I didn't lose interest, life just got a bit too busy. But spring is here and its time to break out the camera gear and start shooting some bugs. In the meantime I've been going through my files and came...

Hi! I'm giving away a nice sized Tillandsia cyanea, pupped it off last year. I'd be amazed if it doesn't bloom next spring. And I'm throwing in a small pup of a bromeliad, a Cryptanthus Earth Star, I believe the name is Pink Starlite, but no guarantee on that. I have a bunch of these under...

Hi, I recently took a weekend trip and came back to find my heliamphora looking less than happy. After doing a bit of research, the sudden death syndrome that I have read about seems to be related to fungal infections. I received this plant in a juvenile stage about a year ago. Slowly but...
