Hello all,
I am super excited to join this forum and tap into all of the knowledge and resources available here (and hopefully be able to contribute some of my own!). I am scientist in a field tangential to botany and am lucky to live in a place with a good climate and amazing botanical diversity, including some fun native carnivorous plants, and started growing carnivorous plants in earnest this year.
In the carnivorous plant realm, I currently have a modest collection of Drosera, Sarracenia, a nice U. alpina specimen that currently has a couple pods ripening, and some Pings. I also have several planters of Darlingtonia, and lots of lots (too many) seeds germinating right now. I also just started a mix of open pollinated VFTs that are starting to show some variability in trap morphology, so I am pretty excited about those and itching to grow more species from seed!
Additionally, I grow all sorts of vegetables, cut flowers, ornamentals, and plants native to my area, and I'm just starting to dive into the orchid rabbit hole in earnest.
In the near future I will have more time and space to grow, care for, and expand my collection, so I look forward to chatting plants with y'all!
