Re: Californica darlingtonia
by kevinkk » Sat May 18, 2024 2:42 pm
I am using now, quite unmovable at this point, full of peat, soil mixture, and the water. Like I mentioned, it's reaching a mature balance
of what is going to grow, some get crowded out, and it's all pitcher plants at this stage, very effective at passive capture, sometimes I can
hear insects buzzing inside of the pitchers.
The Darlingtonia are growing better than I expected, after reading their ideal requirements, a little slow growing, but at the time, seed was one of
the few ways to acquire the species, now it seems they could eventually take over.

Photographs
by lamprima2 » Sat May 18, 2024 4:59 am
I spent about 45 minutes trying to download my photographs to
the Forum page in the correct sequence, avoiding repeats.
It seems to be too complicated for
an ordinary Ph.D. Please remove extras from my post.
Tanks,
Sergey

Yesterday, 16 May 2024, I saw a small, solitary, flight worn, Red Admiral flying about in my farm yard, This was the 1st time, in many years, that I've seen a spring migrant Red Admiral up here in NE Sask., Canada.

Several fairs are succesful in Europe, I don't see why it would not be a success in the US too. You can coorganize it with shell or mineral collectors, if you fear to lack visitors in the first years. (that's what they do in Modena fair in Italy).

Good grief! Thanks for that Adam.adamcotton wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 8:22 pm at should be Darlingtonia californica ... superb plant!
Adam.
Yes, we have a State Park named after the plant.

They spread easily, the bog is finding a balance.. somewhere, my Venus Fly Traps and sundews have been crowded out
by the pitcher plants.
I'll have seeds later when the pods are mature.
I had to fence it in, the bog was doing well until the racoons found it, those guys are lucky to be cute.

Thank you both for your words of consolation.
P. rutulus is a pretty common butterfly in CA,
I hope to get more in the future.
