Hey Pyro, Extraordinary about the U. mannii. Are your comrades seeing tuber production on these plants?

Hey Seandew, So, do these species act as perennials in cultivation, pretty much like U. dichotoma, U. uniflora, etc etc? Barry

Hey folks, I've spent a few hours today trolling the web, looking up Utricularia species. I'm trying to determine which species are not being grown. Are any of you growing any of the following? Now, we all have pots with cool labels, but that mature to turn out to only be U. subulata or stuff like that. I'm talking about plants that have flowered and are the real deal. By the way, I have a couple of things on this list that may shock some, i.e. U. pentadactyla, but that's because every so-called plant I've seen in cultivation was really just U. bisquamata. Cheers Barry P.S. I'm not shopping for plants, I'm just trying to get some numbers. If you're growing one of these plants but want to tell me confidentially, don't hesitate to email me at [email protected].

Hey Folks, I'm the author of the article on leaf pullings in CPN. As I clearly cite in the paper, this is not a new method, rather it is a method of vegetative propagation that seems widely overlooked. Indeed, the US growers that I spoke with before writing this article did not seem to know about the method. I'm glad to hear that, in the UK if nowhere else, this technique is still being used. It's funny that, despite my own rather extensive experience with Sarracenia horticulture over the years, I had developed the notion that you needed at least some rhizome attached to the leaf base in order to have a successful leaf propagation method. It seems that, with care, the amount of rhizome attachment required is vanishingly small! So, in summary, I am sorry if my article insulted anyone on this forum, if it appeared that I was suggesting the method was new. I thought this was clear in the article. Cheers Barry P.S. I only occasionally read this forum, so comments/etc should be directed to me at [email protected] B

Hey Folks, The Nepenthes clipeata Survival Program action plan is now on line, if you are interested in reading it. Go to http://www.sarracenia.com/faq/faq4580.html and the associated links. This is a great opportunity for horticulturists to contribute to conservation of a desperately rare species. We are especially interested in learning about clones in cultivation that did not come from Andreas Wistuba's nursery, but even those would be excellent entries in the database. Cheers Barry
