Many new gallery photos. Take a look and find your new favorite!

Really love your site. Great information with amazing photos. Can't imagine the work you put into this site.

I also love your website. Thow I would have thought there would be a propagation portion to each plant.

Hey, really appreciate your kind words. It is a lot of work, but it's a topic I love, so it's also a pleasure. - Also a great excuse for me to brush up on some of my own plant knowledge!

Hey, thanks! I have genus-level propagation info and try to break down differences in propagation techniques among some of the unique species that fall within a given genus. Take the sundew page, for example: https://carnivorousplantresource.com/th ... s/sundews/
But you're right, I probably could use propagation techniques on individual plant pages. Maybe as a future enhancement


...also, always looking for contributors! If I've omitted something you think is valuable for folks checking out the page, please feel free to get in touch with me to include it!

November 2018 Updates!

September-November is a crazy time of year, for me. I’m a Halloween nut, and took up the task of building a Haunted House, this year. Now that it’s all wrapped, and we’re past the ol’ Turkey Day, it’s back to our regularly-scheduled program! Enjoy!

New plants added:
• Nepenthes albomarginata - Either the most fashionable Nepenthes, or the most religious... the white collar throws me off
• Nepenthes ampullaria - Short, squat, and dabbling in vegetarianism
• Nepenthes rafflesiana - A classic lowland high on my list
• Nepenthes alata - Polymorphic, and half of the world's most popular Nepenthes hybrid
• Nepenthes aristolochioides - A wee hunchbacked Nepenthes named after another plant because it's so funky, there's nothing else to compare it to

Hey, I’m gonna make a small write-up of some edits for the Pinguicula page in a PM. Just mainly some minor tweaks in the cold and warm temperate tabs.

Is that a picture of your own plant for the Venus Flytrap Gremlin?

Sounds great! I welcome the feedback and suggestions for improvements.

It is a photo of Carson Trexler's plant taken by Carson for an article that he published on the site entitled The Cilia of the Venus Flytrap
