Drosera5150 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hello Friends, Recently, I've made my seasonal hike to a favorite Pinguicula pumila site here in Florida to check on their well-being. This site has always offered some of the most diverse flower forms that I've ever seen 'in situ' :o Last year we experienced severe drought at this time and there were no plants growing there at all! I was worried about their future. But this year, Lo and Behold! In my opinion, this proves the long-term viability of this species' seed in order to persevere extreme unfavorable conditions. In this video, I document the differences in flower morphology of the plants at this site, habitat, soil analysis, dehicing of seed and their overall present well-being. You'll find it here at the CpTube and Photo Gallery site; http://bbproductions.smugmug.com Happy Growing and Holidays to All! Brian Barnes, ICPS Director of Conservation.

Drosera5150 Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks Martin, The lighting wasn't being agreeable with me that day. Very cloudy! But it didn't come out too bad considering the crazy weather. Happy Growing, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Vieweg Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hi Brian, you've done a very good job!

Drosera5150 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Thanks everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed it. One of my goals is to show the conditions that CP grow in, so that their cultivation is made easier. Francois, It would be wonderful to see you make a Nepenthes video... Happy Growing, Brian.
