tombennet Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 I've built an interactive Sarracenia map, and thought it might be of interest to other growers. Each species is plotted with county-level distribution data and subspecies info, where applicable - just hover your mouse over the map (or touch if you're on a phone). The map is part of my Sarracenia growing guide, but you can jump straight to the map using this link: https://www.carnivorousplants.co.uk/resources/how-to-grow-pitcher-plants/#map Hopefully it's useful to fellow forum members. More information on the source data is available in the accompanying blog post here. If you've got questions or suggestions for improvements, I'd like to hear them. Thanks!

SoLongFairWell Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Very cool website Tom. I also love the interactive Nepenthes guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linuxman Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Looks a useful site. Not so keen on the yellow colouring, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombennet Posted May 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 @Richard Bunn Thanks Richard, much appreciated. If you have any ideas for similar tools you'd like to see, do let me know - the hybrid calculator (scroll to the end of the Nepenthes guide) was originally Rob Cantley's idea! @linuxman Cheers linuxman. Are you referring to the yellow I used for S. flava on the map? If so, that's easy to change. I tried to go for high-contrast colours to ensure colour-blind visitors could still use the map, but I agree that some colours aren't quite perfect.

Stu Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Great website Tom and good to see it developing fast. Your Raspberry Pi terrarium tutorial has been an invaluable source of help for me setting up my own. I definitely owe you a beer/coffee for that! The Nepenthes resources are also very interesting... very handy and easy to use tools for checking requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombennet Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Thanks Stu, really pleased to hear the terrarium tutorial has been useful I know some other growers who've adapted the instructions to create greenhouse controllers too, which is pretty cool. Got some new resources in the pipeline, but I'll continue to update the Nep charts and Sarracenia distribution map based on feedback.
