  1. We trimmed the flowers from the venus flytrap and the pitcher plants then realised they made a very pretty display. #bloomscrolling #carniverousplants #houseplants

  2. Waxlip orchid ((Glossodia / Caladenia major) with sundew (Drosera sp. - probably D. auriculata) near Mallacoota, East Gippsland, VIC.

    Lots of both sundews and orchids out here in coastal heathland heading into spring - but hot/dry weather since then has seen both suffer a bit in recent weeks.

  3. Caladenia catenata (White Fingers) flowering amongst tall sundews near Gipsy Point, VIC. Large numbers of these sundews (I'm presuming Drosera auriculata) occur here in both open forest and heathland - often alongside various spring orchid species.

  4. Interesting small sundew (Drosera sp.) out in heathland near Genoa, VIC on the last orchid scout.

    Red basal rosette and compact size suggest that it might be D. peltata (as it is now described in Victoria) which is not that common in East Gippsland. Most other taller Drosera out in large numbers between Genoa and Mallacoota probably look more like D. auriculata - although hard to tell for certain without seeing flowers and seeds on both forms.

  5. A floating aquatic carnivorous plant. Likely common bladderwort (Utricularia macrohiza) from a giant vernal pool in Lake county, California. It traps insects in the bladders, sucking tiny insects in and shutting a trap door behind them. The flowers are yellow and not present at this stage. #Flowers #carniverousplants

  6. Look what arrived today, my first Sarracenias! S. flava and S. leucophylla are both Alabama natives. Hopefully in a few years we can start selling Sarracenia but I've got a lot to learn before that happens.

  7. Croajingolong National Park wildflowers - still some late waxlip orchids flowering on the edge of the forest in late October with an occasional flying duck out in the fields of pink trigger plants (plus sundews!) near the Genoa River, East Gippsland, VIC.

    Top : Waxlip orchid (Glossodia/Caladenia major) + Trigger plant - Stylidium sp.

    Bottom: Sundew - Drosera sp. + large duck orchid (Caleana major).

  8. another kind of modified leaves, while i wait for this build… these are American pitcher plants, sarricenia, and they have a more passive technique for getting snacks— they just wait till they fall in! #carniverousPlants #sarracenia

  9. Today in Meet The Pings, we have the first flower of the season!

    Pinguicula blooms are small, on long stalks, and have long spurs. This one is a particularly lovely pink!

  10. I am now using home assistant for:
    - automatic lights
    - environmental tuning (so many fans.)
    - motion detection alarms/pics
    - powerwall shenanigans
    - @SallyMonster's rack of carniverous plants (the lighting)
    - growing mushrooms (keeping a heating mat within a specific temp range)

    I'm tempted to buy several tidbyts, and use HA to push which ISP my routing setup is currently using so I can visually see at a glance

  11. The other day when watering my little nepenthes "Gaya" (a small carniverous pitcher plant), I looked under one leaf to discover not one, not two, but THREE new baby Gayas having started growing on their own! The babies already have two tiny well formed pitchers, plus two more pitchers beginning to form. Very exciting!
    The babies and their tiny pitchers are amazing because they are perfect miniatures of the adult plant.

  12. Meet the Pings: pt 2 The Chonky Ones

    these two are further on in coming out of dormancy, the first is working on a flower (which are gorgeous!), and the second has found some fungus gnats for a snack! For those that don’t lure in some noms (they have decimated the gnat pop in my office, as intended!!), i have fish flakes to sprinkle on their leaves!

  13. Meet The Pings! Pt 1: the tiny friends!

    these are pinguicula just coming out of their winter dormancy, and working on growing bigger, sticky, carnivorous leaves, now that their winter dry period is over! I love how out of place the new leaves look, just sticking out the top! #pings #carniverousPlants #pinguicula #plants

  14. In case you haven’t seen baby flytrap leaves, please join me in loving that the leaf grows upwards then *unfolds* it’s trap! #plants #carniverousPlants #venusFlytrap

  15. Bíonn sé i bhfad níos éasca dul i ngleic leis an méid feithidí anseo le cuilghaiste Véineas

    It's way easier to put up with the amount of insects here with a venus flytrap
