WOW!
The only pings I have found have been via mail order, or one @ Lowes when they bring a few carnivorous plants. None of them are cheap when you mail order, cost of plant and cost of shipping, but they are kind of neat!
O/T Uh Oh.. I'm in trouble now. Look what Keyring started!
Amazing how that has grown!
Oh my Lali no wonder it tripled in size it's always eating . lol
Mine died :((

That is amazing, Lali! I love it! I bought two pings at Lowe's last year, but they died. Coming from Lowe's they may not have been the healthiest plants out there, anyway, but it served to discourage me where carnivorous plants are concerned. I got a Venus fly trap, too. Someone told me to completely ignore it over the winter. I did so well with that, I can't remember where I put it. I've got to go look for it...
LOL...talk about ignoring it!!!!
oh.... thanks (I think) for the reminder. Just put in an order for more - I was waiting for better weather. *sigh* haven't finished dealing with the haul from Cal yet....

I found the VFT! WooHoo! It's pretty and green and has a new trap coming up! It's in the window in my laundry room which is about half obscured by a freezer. And ya know what? There is a pitcher plant that I had forgotten I even had sitting right next to the VFT! LOL Probably the best thing I could have done for them is forget them. Now I've gotta figure out what to do with them since it's spring.
Well, what did you bring home?
me? from Cal? all orchids - I forget if you grow them or if this list will look like Klingon:
- Bc. Lindleyana (Brassavola tuberculata x C intermedia)
- C. Claesiana (intermedia x loddigesii)
- C. intermedia (punctissima x amesthystina)
- C. intermedia var aquinii 'Sonia' x L. purpurata var striata 'Doraci'
- C. intermedia var aquinii x L. Pacavia
- C. leopoldii x C. loddigesii coeruelea 'Blue Sky'
- Den. capituliflorum
- Den. Colonial Jem
- Den. delicatum 'Apple Blossom'
- Encyclia hanburii
- L. Autoceps x L. furfuracea
- L. lundii
- Oeceoclades saundersiana (fka Eulophidium saundersianum)
- Polystachya ottoniana
- Sarco. ceciliae
- Schom. brysiana 'Bolin' x C. forbesii
- Slc. Helen Veliz 'Nancy' x Schom. tibicinis
hahahaha...... this is about 15 more than I planned. One of the schom hybrids is slated for a friend - just have to decide which one....
Yup, pretty much Klingon to me. Howzabout some photos of your haul!? Did you pack them in the suitcase? Carry them on?
