Dr. X Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) This is my favorite Carnivorous Plant that I won, my P. 'John Rizzi', growing on a porous lava rock. P. 'John Rizzi' is a species of butterwork, or Pinguicula. If you want to know more about them, here's the Wikipedia article. -Dr. X Edited November 6, 2008 by Dr. X Quote
Hinckley Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 That's fascinating and beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Carnivorous plants are so amazing...and bizarre. I've never seen this particular breed, so thank you for the link. People are so cool... Quote
UniqueBuilder Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 A carnivorous plant growing on a ROCK ? Now THAT'S BADASS BOTANICS!! Heck, these buggers even grow in Norway.. I remember picking these in the mountains, now I only need a fertile rock! Quote
Erdbeereis Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 That's fascinating! Carnivorous plants are indeed interesting. May I ask how you won it? Quote
SlyOwl Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Can I has? I used to have a venus fly-trap, but I killed it by feeding it too many flies... it took me so long to catch them too, running round the house with a lighter and can of hairspray Quote
