That one with color had something interesting in the growth. A stolon? I've only seen #Sarracenia plants grow from a crown. Turns out someone else noticed one on Sarracenia purpurea var. montana, which the source has. Bet it ends up that.

More of my new babies :). I'll write something up for the blog soon, but I moved them into a casserole dish. Looks like there's 6 pitcher plants. They look similar in shape at this size, but the long thin one will likely be very upright. I mean, other than the largest one that fell down. They're outside for the night, will be brought in before the hottest part of the day, then put out again. I miss them already. Good luck growing, babies :)

The bog arrived! The lovely Carmen helped me reach my fundraising goal because a carnivorous plant artist needs carnivorous plants. The moss will be rinsed for the seeds, so I can germinate and identify the lot. Scored two flytraps, one tiny and one wee. More later.

The Darlingtonia Californicas are back inside as the weather is heating up again and they require root cooling. The older indoor setup had a glass monitor stand with a USB fan under it but right now I am using refrigerated water and frozen picnic packs in the water trays. These are mostly easy to care for but you really need to avoid sudden heat spikes (learned that the hard way).

#Pinguicula gigantea catches the few fungus gnats that end up in the grow space, using its large, dewy leaves. From my experience, this species is easy to propagate from leaf pullings. I like giving these away to friends and family.

A few different clones of #Pinguicula emarginata. I recommend this species if you want a small indoor butterwort that will keep its carnivorous leaves year-round and flower frequently. Keep the soil damp using the tray method, and give it bright indirect light.

Pinguicula moctezumae x rotundiflora
This may be the first time it’s actually caught something 🎉

So, even if some peat (Canadian peat) is allegedly harvested *sustainably*, I'm thinking this article lays out the problems with using #Peat succinctly and without the hype!
#CornellCooperativeExtension - #PeatMoss and #Sustainability
Excerpt: "Besides #overharvesting, #PeatBogs, #Fens and #PeatSwamps are threatened by climate change, habitat and nearby developments that can change the nature of surrounding areas. They are sensitive to disturbance. There is research that suggests that harvesting of peat bogs adds to climate change by releasing carbon stored in these bogs.
"Peat bogs and fens in America are where #CarnivorousPlants, like #sundews, #bladderworts and #PitcherPlants, and #BogOrchids live side-by-side. The acidic nature of bogs/fens and humidity create the perfect environment for peat moss, orchids and carnivorous plants. #Peatlands are also home to other species that rely on their composition. #Turtles, birds such as #PalmWarblers and #EasternTowhees, #snakes and #grouse, to name a few.
"There are alternatives to peat moss that are more sustainable. #CocoCoir is a material made from the fibers of the coconut husk. When dried, it is packaged into bricks. Once re-hydrated, it can be used in garden containers to both absorb water and keep the soil from drying out. It can be used in the potting mix or on top of the soil instead of mulch. #RiceHulls can be used for drainage in container plant pots. Both coco coir and rice hulls are sustainable. Additionally, #compost can be used in place of peat moss. Coco coir, rice hulls and compost can all be used alone or mixed in with a commercial potting mix to make using peat moss more sustainable."

Pinguiculas looking good 👍

I went to a rare plants event in Fuchū on the weekend and picked up this very cool Billbergia ‘Obi-Wan’.
The opposite hybrid (where the other variety is the pollen donor) is called ‘Darth Vader’.
Do they fight like betta fish if you put them next to each other? 🤔
I also got a new pinguicula to replace the one I killed earlier this year 😅

Butterwort update!
I can't believe how magenta these are getting. It's unreal looking, but easy to see it is real next to the completely green younger leaves.
And yep, catching bigger bugs.

New growth to brighten a very wet, very dreary March weekday.
