Nice Find At The Local Nursery

[DrWurm]

Normally the Armstrong Garden Center near my house has a CP selection limited to VFTs, cape sundews, and S. purp ssp. venosa. Every once in a while, though, they actually have something decent. I've found S. swaniana and S. flava there before. Today I stopped in and they had this little gem in the back of the rack:

Complete with bad advice as usual...

Even though I'm giving all my sarracenia to a foster grower this fall, I couldn't let the little guy die in that place.

Sarracenia savior!

That brand seems to carry decent looking Sarracenia. I found a flava in one of those boxes.

Wow no dormancy needed? Where I can I get one of those...

 

[carnivoure12]

The advice is better than other, the only thing bad is the humidty bottle terrarium thing

 

[Brokken]

He said that about the octopus (capensis) and starfish (ping). He did not qualify that comment for the sarracenia.

That's special advice for octopus and starfish plants. (drosera and pinguicula)

EDIT: Brokken beat me to it

Actually it's talking about the pinguicula titan and drosera capensis

F R e N c H 3 z I think the label meant that about the octopus and starfish plants...lol

Wow!!! that's pretty cool! nice find, all i ever find at a home depot around here are Half dead VFT's, Sick sarracenias (dana;s delight) and some really ugly nepenthes....

At least the montreal Botanical Garden carries some decent variety! (d. californica, heliamphora minor, a few sarracenia hybrids and cultivars, sundews....)

 

[Halt]

Is there any more with minor? o.0 How much were they?

 

[cp-connection]

That's the guy that registered S. x "cobra's nest". He used to do plastic bags with twist ties instead of the little box.

What kind of sarr hybrids and cultivars?

 

[Not a Number]

They had a good selection of Sarracenia at OSH a few weeks ago including S. minor. About $3 cheaper than Armstrongs

Nice find!

Funny, I picked up really good looking and rather large VFT today at a local garden center here in Jersey.

 

[petmantis]

What kind of sarr hybrids and cultivars?

Dana's Delight, Scarlet Belle/Wrigleyana, and Leucophylla 'Tarnok'

among sundews, there are D. aliciae, capensis, binata multifida, adelae...

 

[Capensis]

Niiice.

Holy cow, we now have a website to put to the Deathcubes: http://flytraphelp.info/

 

[cp-connection]

These are actually a knock-off of the Lowe's death cube.

A... knock off? Of a Deathcube?

*Head Explodes*

Edit: I do like how they actually list species names, though, that puts them higher up in my book.
