Hi, I think this is the right place, I thought maybe (or not) you'd be interested in some of the plants I grow.

Venus Flytrap (Dionaea)

Information: Grows in North/South Carolina. Dionaea B52 has traps up to 2.25 inches large. They are known by most people. They use sensitive hairs inside the traps which when set off twice close the trap loosely, this allows small insects to escape through the cilia, or teeth, you'll see in the pictures, then, the insect struggles inside in panic, it is soon smashed down and digested in order to supplement the nutrient poor soil it, and all other carnivorous plants grow in.

Drosera (Sundew)

Information: A bug lands on a tentacle, or one of those long things with liquid on them, and becomes stuck, struggling to escape, over a 15 minute period, the tentacle wraps around the prey, secreting enzymes and melting it causing a very, very, very, horrible painful awful slow death. They grow on every continent except Antarctica.

D. scorpioides gemma (Lost? I put it in the soil but now it's gone. Maybe buried, or I just can't see it, for instance, I may have put it under my D. Capensis)
D. capensis - Image
D. paradoxa? - Image(It was a free plant, wasn't marked, shares a lot of resemblance with paradoxa, and the seller had them for sale, so)
D. lanata? - Image(I am not sure, the plant I put a ? next to, D. paradoxa, I think is a 80-90% probability it's paradoxa, but this one I don't know! It has light green/white leaves with circular tentacle platform things, nice name huh?, at the end, that are orangish, it might be lanata, or some other type)

Nepenthes

Description: To be honest, I'm a real pitcher plant fan boy. I love Sarracenia, Cephalotus and Nepenthes a lot. They all have lids or hoods that close in response to low humidity and rain so the rain does not dilute the enzymes inside, this is absent in Sarracenia however, who already have hoods that cover the tops. The hoods close very slowly and movement is undetectable by the human eye. Nepenthes secretes nectar around the pitcher mouth or the peristome (see pictures below) and the bug goes to the pitcher, drinks the nectar, and can even become drunk, the bug falls in, and then tries to get out, but cannot, due to downwards pointing hairs like steel. It struggles, and drowns, but not before setting off digestive enzymes! The enzymes flood the water, and break the prey down, all of this requires no movement from the plant, unlike Drosera and Dionaea. Nepenthes grow at the end of tendrils, which are connected to regular old bland non-carnivorous green leaves used for photosynthesis. The pitchers on some plants, such as N. rajah, can grow so large that birds or rats can be seen trapped inside. However, this is out of the norm, the bird or rat was probably weaker, sick, or dying as it climbed in for shelter or something, and was too weak to fight out of the pitcher. Frogs have also been caught, more frequently. This is also the same for Dionaea, but this is rare in Dionaea. They grow strictly in the tropics, the tropical rainforests of Borneo have many species.

N. ? (A surprise! I received the plant, but all 4 are green and the leaves look alike, but aren't the same plant, I'll have to wait to see what it is when they all pitcher in 2 or so months)
N. Seedlings (Could be many varieties, IE N. Splendiana x Maxima, N. Splendiana x Rokko and others too)

Pinguicula (Butterwort)

Description: Pinguicula have pretty flowers. They form regular leaves that provide two functions. They are sticky with tiny hairs on them, which capture insects and digest them to supplement the soil they grow in, but they do not move. However, a few varieties can move the tips of the leaves to prevent enzymes from coming off and/or to bring more in contact with the prey. Pinguicula are not hard plants to grow, only a few are, the large majority are quite easy, and are rewarding when they send up their nice flowers. They grow in Mexico and the US.

Sarracenia

Description: I really like Sarracenia. They are MARVELLOUS! Sarracenia are native to the Americas and grow from the warm South all the way up into the Freezing Canada. They produce pretty pitchers that can grow up to a meter tall, some are so effective at catching prey, the pitchers topple over or break due to the stock they have! Downward pointing hairs make it impossible for prey to get out. They require no movement, like Nepenthes, to digest their prey.

Utricularia

Description: Their traps are either underground or in water. The aquatic species have mini bladders that suck in tiny prey such as Daphnia in 1/30 of a second. This is not so much as impressive as their orchid like flowers. (Google the pictures, I do not like Utricularia very much.)

Other CP's (CP's with only one plant I own, just to keep things neater)

Cephalotus Follicularis 'German Giant' - Image

Description: A true gem in any collection, and a personal fav of mine. They are extremely slow growers, but produce fuzzy pitchers that have open hoods with a unique pattern. The typical species grow up to 2 inch pitchers, but German and Hummers Giant can get up to double that. They capture prey the same way other pitcher plants do, and secrete enzymes from the struggling insects. Cephalotus is very successful at capturing prey in my studies. Releasing a flock of fruit flies only showed a few being captured by my Sarracenia, a few by Dionaea, a good couple by my Heliamphora, but a large majority, a little less than 15, were caught by my Cephalotus. The fruit fly either fell in by clumsiness, or they wallowed too close to the mouth and fell in, or they crawled in, but lost balance on the downward hairs and fell in. In either case, they provided a good meal. In fact, one little fruit fly was still struggling after 20 minutes. So cute, so, so, so cute. Cephalotus grows in western Australia.

Byblis Liniflora - [http://www.bestcarnivorousplants.com/CP_Photos/byblis_liniflora_Copyright_J_Flisek_02.jpg]Image[/URL]

Description: Kind of like a lanky vine. No enzymes are produced.

Darlingtonia Californica 'Typical' x1 - Image

Description: Definitely a nice plant! It looks like a cobra ready to strike, thus it's common name "Cobra Plant". It has a hidden mouth like S. psittacina and S. minor, and the prey goes in, but finds it hard to get out. Light shines in through light spots confusing the prey, it runs to these spots, or false exits, as it goes down, down, down into the depths. Eventually, it becomes too tired and falls into the fluid below and dies. Unlike other pitcher plants, it does not produce enzymes. A type of bacteria does this for the plant, and the trade off is the plant allows a home for the bacteria, the nutrients are enriched in the fluid, and the plant absorbs it. I am not a huge fan of Darlingtonia as I am Cephalotus, Sarracenia and Nepenthes, but I am one of the middle-row fans with the foam finger who accidentally knocks the pop-corn guy out and gets charged for aggressive conduct. Darlingtonia grows in Oregon and California.

Aldrovanda Vesiculo 'Australia' 'Red' x1 - Image

Description: Aldrovanda is hard to grow, but like Dionaea, it is a snap trap, so it moves. It is so tiny, it is hard to witness though. But surely enough, horrible things happen inside. It is very hard to grow, and only for the experienced. But it IS an extremely fast grower if kept under correct conditions. It is aquatic. It is called the "Waterwheel plant". I have paid for the plant, but do not have it yet, due to the fact I need to get conditions right and ready.

Stylidium "Debile" - Image

Description: What's interesting about these plants is they are sub-carnivorous. They grow in nutrient poor soil, they have glands near their flowers that lure, catch, kill, and digest bugs, but it is unknown if they use the nutrients. Someone did studies and says that he proved it and his work will be presented soon, so they may well be fully carnivorous. Another interesting trait, other than this carnivory, is that the flowers have a trigger that moves once the pollinator is done getting pollen. Which makes Stylidium a nice plant.

Stylidium "Affine"

Heliamphora 'Minor' - Many Heliamphora.

Description: Many Heliamphora do not produce their own enzymes like Darlingtonia and rely on bacteria to do it. I'm the same kind of fan of Heliamphora as I am of Darlingtonia. They have nectar spoons instead of hoods, which attract insects. They have tiny slits in the pitchers to drain out excess rainwater. They grow in the Tepuis of Venezuela. The sole Heliamphora known that produces it's own enzymes is Heliamphora Tatei var. Tatei. Many Heliamphora species may be undiscovered, due to the fact that each year a new species or more are found on the Tepui's.

If there is any specific variety you want me to explain more of, I'd be happy to!
