Hi, finally I managed to see my G. roraimensis flower. There are so many plants flowering and unfortunately I will be able to see only this one opened... Well, one is better than non.

Nice!! Congrats, it's very rare to see this one in cultivation.

It's a pleasure to see them again :-D

Anthony, have you had that species from your avatar identified (assuming it's a Genlisea, I can't see)? If not, take a look at the new Genlisea monograph by Andreas Fleischmann:

http://www.redfernna..._genus_genlisea

He's done an amazing job separating all the yellow-flowered species, including correctly identifying the know species (G.aurea, G.roraimensis, G.filiformis, G.pygmaea, G.repens) and resuscitating a few old species (G.pulchella, G.oxycentron, G.nigrocaulis) and even cites a new species that should be in print anytime soon.


The genus is discussed inside-out from all possible aspects, a must read!!!


Best wishes,
Fernando Rivadavia

Hi,

No I haven't yet identified the genlisea on my photo with the book.

We sold it to me as genlisea filiformis. But I don't find any more photos of his flowers to identify him. But I am going to try all the same.

Soon may be, photos of the flowers of genlisea pygmaea.

I'm mad about Genlisea barthlottii's photos on Andreas's book

Best Regards
Anthony

What do you mean?

[Anthony]

The photo of genlisea barthlottii are beautiful

Oh, I see, "mad" as in "crazy about", and not "angry". :)

Are all Genlisea warm growing plants? Are their any with Mediterranean requirements?

[Cephalotus]

I once accidentally left G. hispidula (without location) outside for the winter in Poland. When I realized it was outdoor it was already April. I went out and it was in ice in pot with D. intermedia. I dug a cube of ice with the soil and brought it home. The plant seemed to be fine and even flowered the following summer. Still, it was just an accident. I didn't intend to leave it there for the winter, it just happened. In ice it survived some harsh frosts like -10(-14)*C. It was rather mild winter than too, with much snow. I never tried doing like that ever again. I just don't know if I should. I don't want people to think that I am torturing my plants...

[Richard Bunn]

So it may well grow in an unheated greenhouse?

[Cephalotus]

With my accidental experience, I would consider that one as the first one to even try. Maybe I just got really lucky, hard to say.


I remember it was one of those three plants. Which exactly, I don't remember. I kept two in pot and indoor and one left outside. When I brought that one indoor in April, I put it back to the other two. I only remember that it got very much compact for the winter, much more than the ones kept indoor. But till the summer they all started looking very similar and all flowered. The difference also was gone, so I can't point which one of those it was.
