Today I have been taking leaf cuttings from one of my Pinguicula. There's a step by step guide on my Instagram @simplyindoorgardens

My Dionaea muscipula (Venus Flytraps) are looking really great now that the warm weather has kicked in!

Dionaea muscipula - Venus Fly Trap (‘Red Blush’)

A picture from last summer, but I like the colours. The plant was about an inch or so in size.

It’s the middle of winter here in Colorado and I’m really ready for Flytrap Season Again! It is about the time for repotting all my VFTs and is great time of year to pick up a few new varieties! (at Colorado Springs, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6qmmyslrZW/?igshid=hikrh51jvpq8

SPeaking of venus fly traps I still love that people have actually bred some cultivars into having more cartoonish jagged teeth

In June I traveled to the coast with a visiting friend. While hiking at the Carolina Beach State Park, we ran into a local who asked if we had seen any carnivorous plants during our hike. Venus flytraps are endemic to the area, but they are threatened due to poaching. We hadn’t seen any yet. He suggested we check out what he described as “the carnivorous plants near Whole Foods.” We were only there for a day trip and still had plans to swim in the ocean, so at first we didn’t pay much attention to his vague directions. Later in the day, we decided to check it out anyway - after a Google hunt, we discovered the place he was talking about, the Stanley Rehder Carnivorous Plant Garden. It was an whimsical little garden tucked away behind an elementary school, lush with a variety of carnivorous plants. It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re ever in the Wilmington, NC, area.

Springtime Sarracenia pitcher plant flowers. Many people erroneously call the tubular, carnivorous leaves of pitcher plants “flowers”. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard “Oh, those plants with the long tube flower things?” when discussing Sarracenia. In fact, the flowers of these plants are spectacular and one of the highlights of spring for me. These North American natives have flowers that range from white (S. alata), yellow (S. flava, minor, alata), pink (S. rosea), and red (S. leucophylla, rubra, psittacina, purpurea). Hybrids oftentimes produce flowers with color intermediate between their parents, producing beautiful colors of orange and rose.

Assorted Pinguicula in flower this evening. Note the winter rosettes and dead leaves from last year’s foliage.

Cold stratification:  how to germinate Sarracenia seeds

I wanted to start 2016 with a new project and with spring only a few months away I figured it would be a great time to try and germinate some seeds! I was able to buy Sarracenia flava and Venus flytrap seeds as well as some unknow Sarracenia hybrids (SH05, SH23 and OR09). I’m hoping the ‘OR’ means it’s an oreophila species.

Sarracenia leucophylla (Ericales - Sarraceniaceae) is found in wet savannahs in the southeast USA, from northeastern Florida to eastern Mississippi.

S. leucophylla pitchers are green with the top quarter being white with red or green veins. Pitchers produced in the spring are narrower and not as white as pitchers produced in the fall. Under extremely warm conditions, this species may produce phyllodia (pitcherless leaves) in the middle of the summer. The flowers are deep red.

My beautiful p. moranensis with it’s cute winter rosettes! It has about five crowns at the moment so I’ll definitely separate them all soon and repot them! For now I just enjoy looking at it haha.
