Neil Cornish Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 What an amazing array of plants and all looking in tip top shape. Any idea of how many growers enter their plants at this show? Is it just a few members with a lot of plants each or does the VCPS have a large number of members who enter their plants? Wish we had something like that up here in Brisbane. Anyway thanks for posting. Regards Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jure Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Excelent plants! Is this the usually way of growing U. longifolia? What is the lowest temperature it survives? Can other utrics be grown the same way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredders Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Thanks guys Regrading the U. longifolia. I'm pretty sure that the plant was put into the tank just to display it for the show. Normally I'd say that it's pot would sit inside another container filled with water as the tank and gravel were extremely clean. Unfortunately the plant hadn't quite hit it's peak though. In 3-4 weeks time when the 5-6 scapes all had open flowers on them, it'll be magnificent. Even still, the display looked pretty superb.

Kiwi Earl Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Hell of a display. Someone over there knows how to grow Darlingtonia by the look of the examples on display. Thanks for posting mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogier Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Hi Steve, Thanks for posting these pics, very beautiful display. My eyes did goggle a bit (like Jim Carrey in the Mask ) for that stunning S flava var. rubricorpora: Is there any information regarding the origin of this clone? It is a stunner.

Marcus B Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hi Steve,Thanks for posting these pics, very beautiful display. My eyes did goggle a bit (like Jim Carrey in the Mask ) for that stunning S flava var. rubricorpora: Is there any information regarding the origin of this clone? It is a stunner. It is one of Steve's plants. You may have to contact him directly if he has not yet replied to you. He has been a bit busy with a new baby, of the non-vegetative type.
