I purchased a Drosophyllum in a peat pot a few weeks ago and I plan to transplant it into a two feet diameter terra-cotta pot in the next few days. I just have a few questions before I put the plant into its permanent home. The previous inhabitant of the pot was a cactus (Hylocereus to be...

Hey everyone. I just returned from a two week trip to the Philippines last night. I had the wonderful opportunity to see 9 species of Nepenthes in the wild and countless more hybrids, orchids, insects, and other critters. It was an unforgettable experience for sure. I will now post for you...

I posted this on proboards originally, but I figured I might get a hit or two here as well: I'd love trade for any of these plants (or work something else out). Please PM me if you have any of the plants I'm looking for or if any of the ones I've listed below are of interest to you! What I'm...

I'm a graduate student at Cornell University, and I have heard from school faculty and fellow students that there are several areas on and immediately adjacent to campus where Drosera rotundifolia, Sarracenia purpurea v. purpurea, and Pinguicula vulgaris populations are present. I live right...

Hey all, I have some D. spatulata setting seed at the moment, they're from plants I collected with permission from where they grow in the wild. Is this location information important to be kept with the seed? Also, does location information make them more desirable? Matt

Hey all, I've been lurking here for a while without posting and since I have decided to get further into the hobby I thought I had better introduce myself. I first became interested in carnivorous plants when I red an article on Sarracenia in a magazine, I couldn't find any at any if the local...

I'm not much of much of an ebay user, but are plants like these being harvested from bogs? http://www.ebay.com/itm/rare-seven-year-old-sarrcenia-purpurea-with-free-pitcher-plant-tincture-/190914583997?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c73655dbd I'm not trying to accuse the seller, I'm just...

I dug this one up and placed it in a pot. Seems to meet the physical traits including a huge tap root. Seems to be some sort of lettuce anyway.

found this today while searching on Google: http://lenika86.deviantart.com/art/Nepenthes-381845639 pretty cool that it's noted that she drew inspiration from Hamata and Robcantleyi

Hey all (for the second time in 24 hours..), The first CP I've ever bought was a VFT from a supermarket, but besides one thats growing on the other side of the country at my Mom's pad, I don't have a single fly trap. I'd love to try my hand at growing one and pay homage to the plant that got me...

hey folks, I've been away for a super long time, but I usually stroll through and look at stuff every now and again. Having just lost my job, I find myself with an abundance of time, so here's some pictures of my plants 'n such! If you could help me ID them, I'd be grateful... I've always just...

Hey all. I love tentaculata! And I recently just lost my new tentaculata (Murad clone) and would really love to replace it without having to place another overseas order. I'd be stoked to find that variety and especially thrilled to find a plant that is less common (perhaps even a seed grown...

So I purchased some Nepenthes seeds to try growing Neps from seed and decided it would be a nice experiment to compare two of the growing guides listed on this forum. I purchased N. attenboroughii, N. naga and N. maxima "wavy leaf". All of them were collected in the wild and (according to the...

Hello everybody, my name is Jennifer and I live in Savannah, Ga. I am new to CP's but I am an avid orchidist. Although I am a novice this is my 3rd year growing VFT, though I am ashamed to admit I had no idea they were a NC native. What really sparked my new obsession was being given a copy of...

Any Floridians around? I'm moving soon, from the North Woods down to FL, and so I'm not very familiar with the landscape or the area and what to look for in terms of native CPs. Where are some good hunting spots to find them? I'll be in Gainesville, specifically.

So I went to northern Maine to visit one of my good friends last week and discovered an awesome bog while I was there. After telling a few of his friends about it one of them invited me to a bog on his parents property the next day and let me take a few plants to start my own bog garden. I got...

I had the opportunity this summer to work in Chicago, and while I love the city, it did mean I was away from my carnivorous plant garden. So after 9 weeks without seeing any carnivores (with the exception of scraggly Nepenthes at Chicago's conservatory), I decided to head out to Volo Bog. I read...

So during my last trade-a-thon I gained a nice N. x 'Wrigleyana' from a member, and then I purchased a big alata at a nursery. Thanks to these two I am now hooked on Neps. I still question my skill, though, and am looking for easily grown hybrids. I greatly regret not buying a big N. x...

Hey everyone: I was wondering if any of you have been to Maine and found D. linearis or D. angelica. Based on my research, both species are, somewhat, plentiful in Minnesota, at least, most of the pictures of both species growing in the wild from the lower 48 come from Minnesota, but I haven't...

I have spent the last few days around Charleston, SC, and thought before my arrival that carnivorous plants would be hard to find. After some Internet digging and calls to the exceedingly helpful folks at the Francis Marion National Forest ranger's station, I located three distinct populations...
