Carlton CarnivoresUpper pitcher on Nepenthes longifolia, a rare in the wild and equally rare in cultivation Sumatrana pitcher plant with a long controversial taxonomic history. It is a very distinctive plant however, with long tendrils and often richly plum colored pitchers. <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nepenthes?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nepenthes</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pitcherplant?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pitcherplant</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/carnivorousplants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carnivorousplants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/plants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/strangeplants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strangeplants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rareplants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rareplants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/botany?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#botany</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/horticulture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horticulture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/educational?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#educational</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gardening?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a>
Carlton CarnivoresDrosera regia ‘Big Easy’<br> A cultivar of the largest sundew in the world, a South African giant only found in a handful of tiny populations. Leaves average over a foot but can sometimes exceed 3 feet long (meaning this sticky rosette can be 6 feet across on rare occasions), and it is the most basal species in the genus, meaning it split from all the other sundews very early and may possibly prove to actually be more related to their cousins the Venus flytrap and waterwheel plant than other sundews. <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drosera?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drosera</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/droseraregia?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#droseraregia</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sundew?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sundew</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/carnivorousplant?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carnivorousplant</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/educational?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#educational</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/plants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/strangeplants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strangeplants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/botany?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#botany</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rareplants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rareplants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/horticulture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horticulture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gardening?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a>
Carlton CarnivoresFlowers on Drosera petiolaris. The type species of the Petiolaris complex of sundews from northern Australia, these plants are finicky in cultivation because they’re adapted to harsh conditions in the wild. Boiling got pretty much year round, bone dry for half of it and swamped the other, in very sandy grainy soils. They’re also known as the woolly sundews as many have either year-round or only during dormancy leaves or buds that are covered in dense fuzzy hairs. <br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drosera?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drosera</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sundew?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sundew</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/carnivorousplant?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carnivorousplant</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/strangeplants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strangeplants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/plants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rareplants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rareplants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/botany?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#botany</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/horticulture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horticulture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gardening?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a>
Carlton CarnivoresNepenthes graciliflora “Surigao.” One of two forms of this species I grow; once lumped into N. alata, the split from that species has created significant confusion as many graciliflora, hybrid, and other species continue to be mislabeled as the rather uncommon alata. While that species is quite restricted in range, this one is found through most of the eastern Philippines.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nepenthes?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nepenthes</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pitcherplant?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pitcherplant</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/carnivorousplant?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carnivorousplant</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/educational?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#educational</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/strangeplants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strangeplants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/botany?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#botany</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/horticulture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horticulture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gardening?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a>

Carlton CarnivoresNepenthes gracilis, a clone I’ve nicknamed “Shadow.” A widespread and variable species found throughout much of Southeast Asia, typically producing small pitchers on long tangled vines. This one originated from Bornean parentage, and is one of the coveted “black” variants; lower pitchers get deep purple to almost black, spotted with a couple shades of lighter purple that make a dappled shadowy appearance, and even the leaves flush with purple. Uppers like this image are paler, but still that mottled purple-black color overall.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nepenthes?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nepenthes</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pitcherplant?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pitcherplant</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/carnivorousplant?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carnivorousplant</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/educational?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#educational</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/strangeplants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#strangeplants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nature?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/plants?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plants</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/botany?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#botany</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/horticulture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horticulture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gardening?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a>
