Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

This post is essentially a copy of my blog entry here:
Photos of my plants August 20th, 2009

So my wife and I finally made the move to Ashland, Oregon. Since we've settled in, I've got my new greenhouse set up! I'm very excited about that. It gives me plenty of room to expand my collection.
Unfortunately I kept most of my collection inside under fluorescent lights this spring in order to try to keep them cleaner so I could gather tissue for tissue culture. When we arrived here in Ashland, I planned to just put them out in the greenhouse and let them acclimate. I had no idea that the temperatures would be over 100°F the week we got here. Between the heat and the intense sun that they weren't used to, most of them burned to a crisp!

The plants in these photos were either outside when we were living in Boulder, have recovered or, for one reason or another, weren't affected as badly by making the move from fluorescent lights to direct sunlight.

There should be a lot more color on the plants in about a month.
Hope you enjoyed the tour of the new greenhouse!

VFT expert at the house!!!! Welcome to PP!!!!

That is nice collection you have there!!!! You suppose build bigger greenhouse since there is pretty of space there. And I dont think that is enough....

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

Wah!! The VFT expert and his extremely beautiful greenhouse. I envy you. It's hard to find VFT cultivars here in Malaysia.

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

Thanks guys! As you noticed, there's plenty of room to expand in the back yard. If I need more room, I can always get another greenhouse. The climate here is pretty mild, so I might be able to get away with growing some plants outside year round too.

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

You decide to post more!!So matt....You built the greenhouse yourself????Your flytraps are very NICE!!!!

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

Well, I assembled the greenhouse myself. It came in a kit with numbered parts. It was actually quite a job by myself, but I got it done! The extreme heat while I was trying to set it up didn't help any.

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

Hi hi hi,
Remember me, I join your forum too ! So cool, the view from your greenhouse is cool ! I love your plants and your picture.

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

Hey, cool to see you around here, mmlr38. I'm Mr. Truncata. What made you join?

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

Matt joined sometime back....Does 'cudo' not open?

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

Of course I remember you TranMinh. Good to "see" you on another forum!
I've been a member here for a while. I just haven't had much time to post any new photos this year. That's usually all I have time to post on other forums because I'm trying to keep up with the flytrapcare.com forum as best as I can.
It doesn't open in the same way a traditional VFT does. It seems to always be partially closed. It's so tiny that it's really hard to see what's going on with it unless I take a macro shot of it. I've only had it a few months and I'm hoping it doesn't die on me!

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

Thanks for sharing the photos of your amazing collection! :D They're gorgeous!!!

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

VERY nice collection AND greenhouse!

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

We always needed a venus Flytrap master here in Petpitcher!!Cudo can be grown from seed?

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

Thanks! Unfortunately I don't think Cudo can be grown from seed. I've asked others that have had the plant longer if it even flowers and they said that they believe it does, but theirs hasn't yet.

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

You got other weird-weird flytraps?Can you post them?

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

Sure, I can post some photos, but most of them don't look that great right now. I just repotted my entire collection, and then it was getting a bit too hot in the greenhouse (fixed that with a fan). But I can take some photos if you'd like. Which plants in particular would you like to see?

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

DO you have the 'spider'?That would be cool!!We don't see much flytraps in Malaysia mostly typicals, Akai Ryu and shark tooth.Is your B52 big?Can you show?

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

I have a few B52's and a couple of them are large. Unfortunately they don't look very good right now, but I can take some photos of them.

The "Spider" plant that I have is small, but it actually looks pretty good right now. I'll post some photos of it tomorrow!

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

wow!

first, i looked at the view and gaped. then i admired the lovely greenhouse you built.

but when i saw the photos of the vfts and dros i clean forgot everything else!

truly inspiring! thanks so much for sharing all these with us, flytrapcare!

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

Where you get it?

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

Woah you are like a 6th dan black belt at growing those babies :laugh:
I just bought a mini greenhouse for growing flytraps and cephs
I dont think i will get serious with nepenthes just yet

any advice to growing VFTs in a greenhouse?
Will the water in the trays be enough to give the affect?
I'm really new to it and been reluctant to move them into it so its kinda just, sitting there lol
any advice would be amazingly appreciated! :2thumbup:

Re: Some quick photos of my plants and new greenhouse
 

Vfts can be kept at a greenhouse but you'll have to give them dormancy and water tray are ok but make sure the water level reaches only 1~2cm and let it dry then refill the tray again..Hope your flytraps are healthy and mudering every bug it comes across:tongue:
