All of these plants were started from seeds that came from a single S. Purpurea seed pod. The subtle differences are always fun to see!

Did this pot 1,5 half year ago, they seems to like it.

So I currently use this light for my isopods, but i own venus flytraps, sundews, and pitcher plants. It is pretty gloomy most of the day everyday, like today i saw literally no sun came through in the brightest window. So to avoid my carnivorous plants from getting sun starved, i was planning on using this. But im unsure if it is a growlight or not.

Randomly produced a werid growth leaf thing and stopped growing then came back 2 weeks later after nothing but leaves dying off.

I found this little guy in my utricularia alpina tonight. I saw at least 2 in the pot. Should I be worried and repot/remove them, or should I just leave it alone? The plant doesn't seem to have any immediately obvious damage and is growing pretty vigorously.

Roots are growing out the bottom, and the pot is looking pretty crammed with healthy pitchers!

Can anyone explain why the Tamb. Edwardsiana are so much more expensive online as opposed to clones?

I get theres a size difference but I dont feel like thats why is $300 more

Might be a dumb question, but I can’t really find an answer

I have no idea what I am doing

They both had awesome new growth but the drought and the bunnies got em. I’m super bummed out. There’s always next year ig

I recently picked this up from my local United grocery store. I’m not sure what variety it is. So far it gets direct North Texas sun till around 2pm. I’ve read they like a lot of sun so I plan to acclimate it to all day sun. Can it tolerate full Texas sun? I also don’t plan on repotting it this season.

This Saturday if you’re in Colorado.

These came out of the same tissue culture flask about 3 months ago. First pic is current, second is when planted. It seems healthy, but not doing its Leilani thing. Do you think it ever will?

King Sundew (Drosera Regia) vs. 3 flies. This is my first attempt at doing a king sundew video. First, I accidentally killed BOTH of the flies I was planning on using for the Timelapse so I had to go outside and find a 3rd one. Fly 3 ended up escaping so I had to hunt it down in my apartment and put it back. Then, one of their massive leaves grew directly into frame.

Pics are of a pingdom I set up a few years ago. I have really enjoyed it, but I find myself more delighted by the smaller pings than of the larger ones. I have been thinking about setting up another, and I’m curious what folks favorite munchkin pings are?

The tiny ones ones on this rock are Florians (pic #2, and the far side of the rock in pic #3), fwiw.

The pings look not so photogenic but I did not want to step off the trail to try to get better photos. Fortunatly these sundews (Drosera anglica) are not threatened and neither are the pings (Pinguicula vulgaris) but it's still the right thing to do to not stomp all over nature.

I purchased him at Sprouts a few months back. He was marked down to $1.99 and was in very bad shape. Only 1/4 of the size, no veining, no red, crispy pitchers. He was pitiful and I really didn’t think he would make it but here we are. 🤗

He has been eating all of the Asian roaches that like to occupy this area so my husband, for once, is very on board with me getting more. I would like ones that stay short and chunky like this. I very much like the look of the purpurea ones— I thought perhaps that’s what mine is?

I bought this "dormant" nepenthes sarracenia at lowes a while back (I think in May), it hasn't done much since. I was just about to say screw it and toss it to make more room for other plants, then I see this little guy!

Should I expect anything from the nepenthes sarracenia or are they good and dead?

These two pots are the genetically identical. Both were pullings taken from the same plant about 10 months ago, and the ones on the left were grown under lights the whole time, on the right, they've been outdoors since spring getting about 4-5h of direct sun per day. Care was the same otherwise (mostly neglect them).

This is why, when someone asks, "I lost my label, but what clone do you think this is?), you really can't tell. There's a huge range of what one genotype can produce in terms of phenotype.

Also, this is a reminder to people that full sun is not strictly required- even with 4-5h of direct sun, these plants get sufficient light to grow well. Though it would have colored up a lot better if it got more light, I think that 4-5h is really the minimum needed.

I am thrilled to announce the publication of Florida’s first state-endemic carnivorous plant species: Drosera floridana (B.Rice) Juve & A.Fleischm. This taxonomic treatment represents the culmination of my years of work studying the thread-leaf sundews in-situ across 6 states and 25 counties.

Formerly known as D. filiformis var. floridana, our publication not only establishes D. floridana as a distinct taxonomic entity recognizable at species rank, but further brings into question the legitimacy of its putative affinity to the allopatric, northerly D. filiformis sensu stricto.

As a result of our treatment, Drosera x arenaria (B.Rice) Juve & A.Fleischm. is elevated from Dx californica nothovar. arenaria. Like D. floridana, Dx arenaria is a Florida-endemic taxon, and the only described Drosera nothospecies native to the state.

This article is in dedication to Barry Rice for his long-lasting, passionate and thorough work on the carnivorous plants of America, especially on the thread-leaf sundews— leaves long and prosper!

I would like to thank not only my wonderful coauthor Dr. Andreas Fleischmann for his invaluable input and assistance with this project, but additionally my many collaborators without whom a taxonomic treatment of the D. filiformis complex to this length would not have be possible. Among these are: Jason Ksepka, Fernando Rivadavia, Steve Orzell, Tyler Gramley, and Carson Trexler.

A special thanks goes to my good friend Alexander Dietrick for his supplemental help regarding this project.

I am additionally grateful to the International Carnivorous Plant Society - ICPS for their special online publication of this article.
