After tons of work and several final exams, I have finally found the time to start updating the site as usual. Sorry for the month long absence. Here is a most glamorous picture of a freshly opened N. X “Delorado” to start things off on a good note      

This isn’t something you see every day. Just yesterday I noticed that one of my S. X “Swaniana” X (S. rubra ssp gulfensis X S. minor var. okefenokeensis) hybrid seedlings has decided to produce a baby rhizome. On closer examination it appears that there are two baby rhizomes attached to the seedling ”motherplant”. The oddity is probably [...]

After a cold and harsh winter, the N. Macrophylla BE is starting to make a rebound after being in an even slower growing position over the winter. I thought I’d post an update on the plant as it has unfurled its first leaf for the year; a huge accomplishment! The plant is currently working on [...]

With the introduction of N. Klossi on the rise, I decided to get this hybrid to favor my Klossi craze. Due to the rarity (and dangerous “rebel” habitat Klossi lives in) of N. Klossi, the prices are quite high even for small tissue cultured plants (which BE calls “micropropagation” to make it sound more pleasing). [...]

Hello Everyone, I have been inactive lately in preperation for mid-term tests and such. However, the N. Veitchii, N. X ‘Miranda’, and N. Ventricosa ‘red’ pollen used to pollinate my female Nepenthes has so far proved to be a success! The Veitchii and Ventricosa red crosses should be of particular interest with the female N. [...]

I have been offline for quite some time as you may have noticed. . . however, the off-time was for a good cause! Over the past few days I have just finished pollinating the two female Nepenthes that decided to flower. The process was an incredibly long and painstaking time. About 60 nepenthes flowers had to [...]

Finally! After several months of waiting, the Rajah seeds have finally begun to germinate. So far the seedlings have been very slow, but the first one to germinate has just ejected its seed coat. I really hope I can get a good majority of germination out of these. It would be great to finally introduce [...]

After 3 weeks, the last of the Attenbouroughii are beginning to sprout. Most of the vigorous clones have germinated and abandoned their seed pods. There are a few “stragglers” left that are currently germinating. I will try and pull these weaklings instead of letting them die off. I do not want to count the seedlings (almost [...]

I have been contemplating over wether I should type this up or not. Below is a long story that I have lived through in my childhood hope to create a Sarracenia hybrid of fantastic quality. I have typed up this story to share with people the long road I took and to show you beginners out there [...]

Hello Everyone Recently I just recieved a new batch of Nepenthes arrivals! These were supposed to arrive around christmas time, but christmas delays (and a massive snow storm in the west) caused the plants to arrive black and frozen. However, the plants have been replaced and everything has worked out despite the snow storm. Now, [...]
