FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

everytime i enter bunnings (a huge hardware/garden store) i am drawn to the small tray of CP's like metal to a magnet.

im always wondering if they have any new cultivars i dont have, and i like to see if their CP's are still kicking.
i see their VFT's are entering dormancy and to the untrained eye would look like they are dying. black traps everywhere, very little colour... poor lil' fella's.


all of a sudden i see baby Neps! wow, i pick it up and they all have pitchers growing too hehe.
i picked one for rescue, it was actually 2 plants with a nice amount of pitchers on them.
im not sure if i should put them in the mini bog with the other cp's till they grow up a bit more, or if i should give them their own pots.

i also seen these all red sarra's, so i grabbed one for the collection anyway. (no idea where they will fit in, but ill make room

and finally, in the last pic you can see i got "gomez" a new, larger hanging pot. is it too big or is this fine? i thought he's always looked like a big plant in a little pot?

Cool plants! The neps, look like ventricosa to me, but sorry, I have no clue what type of sarr that is. We'll wait for someone more experienced to identify it
Congrats on the new plants!

this looks similar to your red sarracenia. When i searched Sarracenia ‘Psittiata’ i found this image.

thanks people.. i was wondering if the baby nep's are alata? the tag with the plant says its a species that grows well in the cooler climates, which tells me possibly highland nep? and alata is a highland... *scratches chin and ponders thought*
the largest pitcher on the baby neps is an orange top half, looks a lot like a nep alata?

KG: thanks for the link, interesting to note the file name + image path says "sarracenia courtii". all the pics i find of google images are the spitting image of "big red".

psittiata looks very similar also.

i think we've narrowed it down to either sarra psittiata or courtii though.

by the way did you call your self oblivion because of the game oblivion?

nah. the game is fantastic (as with all bethesda titles) but ive had this nick since the 80's and real early retro games
