    Paracarnivorous lady in my garden

    Hi everybody! I share with you some pictures of a mystery plant that grows naturally in my garden (as a weed). Viscosity of the substance produced by trichomes is far more efficient than with droseras. I'd like to identify it (at least the family name) Is it, according to you, a...

    This thread is in no way intended to be an endorsement of illegal marijuana use. Indeed, one could infer from this discussion that consumption of trichome resin is harmful. One internet writer showed photos of cannabis trichomes, claiming: "There is no other plant like this in nature". I...

    Possible South American Sundew?

    I've got a mystery sundew here. It was grown from what was supposed to be D. roramiae seed but obviously this is something else. It appears d. capensis like but the stipules, somewhat tapered end of leaf shape, long white trichomes on the margins of the petioles, and rate of growth make me think...

    Stylidium semipartitum - tropical species

    I was intrigued by the temperate species when I saw them in Western Australia a few years ago and tried growing them. However, the tropical heat sent them straight into summer dormancy...they never woke up and rotted away. :-( So I got myself some seeds of the tropical species. The first...

    Brom Crash Course

    I received this brom from a houseplant giveaway. I washed off the trichomes not realizing that they were supposed to be there. I want to do my best to keep it alive, so what tips can you guys give me other than "don't wipe off the trichomes on the new leaves"?

    Drosera hartmeyerorum

    I had a rough time with my hartmeyerorum seeds. Out of a pack of about 50, I had 5 sprouts. 4 of which kicked the bucket shortly after sprouting. 1 of the 4 that died looked like it was going to make it but then croaked. Here is my last remaining hartmeyerorum and it finally is producing...

    The deadly potatoe

    The Peruvian Andes gave the world the potato, which is one of the largest crops in the world today. The problem is, the modern potato is plagued by potato beetles and aphids, which also carry some viral diseases to the plant. Now a wild potato found in the Bolivian Andes is being studied because...

This has slowly grown so that each spot is about an inch long and 1/4" wide - the inside is white, while the border between the...
