wild

I've decided to consolidate all my photos of wild carnivorous plants and other associated flora into 1 thread. So far, I've visited bogs from Maine to Florida, I'm hoping to add a West Coast trip this summer. This 1st bog, an Atlantic White Cedar Bog is almost within Boston city limits. It...

Hello all, I have decided to post some pics of some wild CP's after being urged by some other member, hope you enjoy Also, most of these pics are taken with my cellphone, and it hates having it's pictures turned over to the internet, so a few of them aren't the highest quality, sorry about that...

I am in the process of creating itineraries for different trips to see carnivorous plants in the wild here in the US. I'm designing the trips based on the wants of others as I likely will be leading groups of people to see these plants. They won't be able to collect seed, cuttings, or any plant...

Hi everyone, I'm very new here and would like to see if I can trade with some members for CP plants or seeds: serracenia, drosera, nepenthes, etc...anything is fine as I only have 1 Serracenia and 1 Nepanthes. I hope to trade within the next 2-3 weeks. We can send something of equal postage...

After speaking with several members here among other growers, I have realized that there are more misconceptions about successfully growing these plants than I had thought. I wrote the care sheet below last year for the NECPS members to use as a guide for their cultivation and I hope that it can...

As promised, part 3 of my escapade. Enjoy! :D View from my room A small sea cave @_@ No idea why there's a freaking hole beside the beach. Made by human-sized moles, maybe? Lol Some wild ferns growing on a cave wall What a nice chunk of driftwood. Perfect for my reptiles. Now, how...

For those of you that couldn't make it to the conference this summer here is a pdf of my presentation. Sorry there is no audio attached and the file size is so enormous. Any questions, feel free to email me at the address given at the end of the pdf. Also keep in mind that this is my opinion...

I have been flyfishing for years but there is a new form of it that has emerged. It's called tenkara and I have been in love with it! A very simple way to fish. So my newest hobby is tenkara and tying my own flies. Takes the stress away and gets me outdoors. Here's a wild rainbow trout I caught...

Howdy. I went on a nature hike today just outside of Tampa, Florida and spotted some Sarracenia minor. Here are some photos from the hike: The habitat: Wading in mud to get around the preserve: Sarracenias!

Last Saturday I was gifted a D. murfetii, a new species from Tasmania. Being so new to cultivation there is not much I can find about caring for it, although they do grow alongside D. arcturi in the wild so I will follow grow guides for them. Wish me luck. Has anyone here had any experience with...

I picked up two vials of FF yesterday to start up cultures for seedlings, spider slings, etc. Despite both of them being labeled as "flightless", I got a vial of both flightless and wingless, so...bonus? Anyway, the recipe I used was the simplest one I could find. Instant potatoes, powdered...

When I visited a local nursery, they had some really nice N. peltata seedlings for a low price. To my knowledge, N. peltata grows at an elevation of 800-1600M in the wild, and I have heard before that it grows well as an intermediate. My growing area gets daily highs of 85-90f and nights between...

Took me a few tries to track down local bogs. Found many swamps the first few times. Eventually, I found a bog bordering a small lake (more like a pond, in my opinion) and went for a short walk: It was really too easy - the boardwalk goes straight up to the bog, and Sarracenias were visible...

The gift of life is the best gift of them all.. ('coz love is the greatest? @_@) Picked up this egg during my vacation in one of the tropical paradises in South-east Asia. Only God knows what's inside. I found it inside a hollow tree stump. 3 weeks later... Boom! Thank goodness it's not a...

:-D I hated to take a chance on buying these alleged Carnivores from Europe but took the gamble and won. They got here in 6 days... bought seeds months and months ago of Regia from an eBay Seller in Great Britian and it took 3 months to arrive and the Seller mailed them immediately upon closing...

Frustration abounds ! I've been searching the world over for a Reducta since I'm into CP's bigtime and can't seem to locate one for sale. Not in the USA anyway. Ironic that the Catopsis grows wild in Florida and I have to send to Europe to buy one. Fast chance of getting it through Customs...

Hiya, all the CPs I tried to overwinter didn't make it :( I'm looking for plants or seeds of CPs that grow wild in zone 4 and below, or plants you've been able to overwinter in a similar climate. It don't have much to trade right now, but check out my Grow List.

Hey everyone, Last summer I went to Florida, it was nice, the beach was nice and everything. When I came back I found out that cp's grew in Florida, and I missed a chance of seeing them! Well this summer I am going to Florida again, so I was wondering if any of you had any places I could and...

Not much to say really. Been into CPs for the past seven years, expanding current collection from a single Lake Poso N. Maxima to include an N. xMiranda, Sanguinae, and Ventricosa(first CP, had to give it up when I moved), as well as a few sundews and an S. Purpurea if I can find a wild one...
