Wort Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hi, this is my first post and my second summer of successful CP growing. I fell in love with Sarracenia purpurea and a Drosera filiformis, and having successfully made it through a year of cultivation, I have become the owner of several more Hardy plants with which I am in the process of creating a sink display bog garden. I am getting addicted to Utricularia spp. right now too, but windowsill grower only! I have a Pinguicula grandiflora to exchange when I can get a moment to post in the appropriate page. Thanks for reading, hope to see you all around. W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul O'Keeffe Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Welcome Wort. I've grown just a couple of utrics in the past but have I have five on order, also for windowsills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul O'Keeffe Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 I actually don't know. I've bought a £20 selection from Hewitt-Cooper Carnivorous Plants so he'll pick 5 of his choice to send. Almost certain to receive Utricularia bisquamata "Betty's Bay" but I'll have to wait and see.

Wort Posted September 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 I got some of mine from Mr Hewitt Cooper, he's got the best selection ( of Utric's) I've seen this summer. I've had mine outside for the past 5 weeks, they've loved it bar the U.delicatula. It seems to be fighting a gelatinous slime mould or some such, I've separated it off from the others to be safe. Please let us know when your selection arrives, and what your "lucky dip" has produced. W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirks Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Hello and welcome. I also grow a lot of my plants indoors at present until we get the garden done enough for me to get a greenhouse. I do have bettys bay outside which hasn't done too well this year with no flowers produced at all, lots of leaves but no flowers. Even the one indoors has produced nothing yet for that matter. But there's a month or so before they go into the porch for hibernation (not all go there.) Edited September 10, 2021 by pirks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wort Posted September 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hi pirks, nice to meet you. Sorry your "Betty's Bay" has not flowered, they are such bonny wee things! Hope they come through for you before they go dormant. W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
