My new plants from California Carnivore

19 years ago

The pics below are my new plants of CP purchased almost a month ago when I visited California Carnivores. The two sarr I purchased that day are already dormant. But my two pygmy sundews and my tropical sundew and my nep are just doing fine.

This are the new addition to my collection

This was the only pitcher on my N. truncata highland. This variety is quite hairy.

This isits 2nd pitcher.

And after a full month of growth, this is how it looks know.

{{gwi:567505}}

The lids on both pitchers is such a very deep maroon color that it's black!

Top pygmy sundew is D. occidentalis ssp. occidentalis, the bottom pic is D. nitidula ssp. omissa.

This it the popluar D. burmanii, scape, and flower. ItÂll probably be dead soon as it is an annual but by then I hope I have plenty of seeds from it.

To my surprise, along with the pot my burmanii is growing in, it came along with two terrestrial bladderworts.

You can see U. bisquamata (Peter D'amato help me identify this one)and barely visible is U. pubescens. And below is U. bisquamata's flowers (to my surprise). Quite small as you can see compared to my finger.

Hope you enjoy the pics of my new plants. :-)

Hey there Hunter,
Thanx so much for purchasing your plants from California Carnivores.
As usual there are usually a couple of bonus plants included but Peter doesn't believe in hyping this as other sellers do.
Thanx for the gr8 pictures. I planted that N. truncata. Glad to see that it went to a good home.

Great looking plants! Gee, I was given a batch of occidentalis last year and ironically, there was an accident with them. Someone knocked the comtainer to the ground and my rescue attempt failed.

Hi xymox,
I got the truncata for only $40! To me that's quite cheap, unlike the lowland truncata that you can easily buy less for $20 bucks. I've seen prices ranging between $100 and $70 for the highland variety on ebay and other nurseries that were offering it and usually they're offering small plants. So I felt like it was a bargain since it is quite a large plant with over 7 inch pitchers and for only $40 bucks... I couldn't pass the chance.

And petolaris, sorry for your loss. I also had experience the loss of plants due to pests like worms and mices, but the worst are other people. Never seem to keep their hands off them. I had a visiting aunt who clipped all my leucos thinking their were lilac flowers or something. She said that it would look nice in the kitchen on a vase.
