Just wanted to say Hi from the U.S. I live in Central to North East Texas zone 8b. I have been growing CPs for two years now and it is the most thrilling thing Ive ever been a part of! It is my greatest passion in life, besides my family, my two kids, 3 adopted step children and my wonderful husband! Family and CPs are where it's at in my Book of Life! Lol Looking forward to see everything this forum had to offer... as I am always looking for new ideas and methods to try. I'm also looking forward to expanding my collection of CPs and try my hand at growing Nepenthes , pinguicula, and ultriculria from seed. I love being adventurous and trying everything! So any tips on anything anyone can give me... or point me in the direction of getting seeds of any of those varieties mentioned... it would be much appreciated! Thank you! Peace, Love, Happiness, & Carnivorous Plants Carni Girl Ky P.S. Included are a few pics of what I have grown and photographed myself. These were taken in the late Summer to early Fall. I have tons more pics to share!

Hi guys I have been meaning to look in to Dionaea for a while now :-) the other CP I find interesting but i would like to focus on Dionaea and two things, one learning how to care for the various Dionaea and learn a bit more about the cloning technique and the splitting technique at root level, followed by having a grasp of the different varieties as to look around the north-west of England to see if any unusual VFT are floating about beneath the weeds :-) I am currently due a few in to start me off this week: Goldie (need to confirm name), Akai Ryu and a Fused Tooth Giant :-) of which the Goldie i intend to try leaf clonage :-p and with the Akai Ryu i intend to try root splitage :-) while in the backgroundI do know a little about plants but compared to you guys on here i will likely be a rookie with a few basic plants and plant ideas, however i did want to say hello and wanted to say that anything i do notice that i find unusual over time i will be sharing with you guys on this forum, as well as any nice varieties i come across as well, i will be offering forward some cuttings/seeds, may be both :-p If you do think i may be of any assistance somehow please don't hesitate to get in touch, in the mean time I will be having a ganders around the forums and leaving positive feedback where appropriate :-) hope i can be a valued member in time :-) Paul BattonFive www.batzorprogramming.com

Hi guys , It's a pleasure to be added at this forum! :) What's about me ... ehm ... I'm a italian girl that try to grow properly a lot of plants but those that concern in this venue (it's a right word!? I don't know ... sorry if isn't ) are the my " more or less" recent passion" to the carnivorous plants , but I also love the cacti and more kinds of plants! Finally I can say the my favorites are the nepenthes and dionaea ... but really I must know closely every genus for to chose a favourite(If I would can chose :) ) ... to now I have some cultivars and clones to dionaea , sarracenia , drosera, aaaaand one pinguicula ! I hope to increasing my lovely collection! XD Ok ok ...now I close .. ;) "Read" you soon ... PS: Sorry for my wavering english!
