Default Triffid Park Visit (Image intensive)

Being unsure where to post this, I thought this is a neutral enough thread. My family and I went to Melbourne over the Chinese New year break. Visit Triffid Park courtesy of Adam aka strath76. Thanks again Adam. It was a wonderful trip until I realised that my camera was running out of battery..... forgotten to charge the night before. Here are some pictures while in Triffid Park, not many though...

Dionaea musipula Room

So many!!!




Gold Strike


Akai Ryu




Unnamed- looks like bristle tooth, Adam bought it.


BIG trap- that is Australia 10 cents on the top right corner = Malaysian 20sens


Drosera Room

Forgotten the name, care to guess? Looks very healthy indeed!


Germinating tray and seedlings in the background


So many D microscarpa


Drosera?? microscarpa I think


Drosera pygmaea (Kangaroo Island). Smaller than the one Adam and I found later in Langwarrin. The only pygmea found outside Western Australia from South Eastern Australia to Kangaroo Island, South Australia


Sarracenia Room

This is the most impressive room with hundreds of mature Sarra filling the trays with green and red colours

Many of them hybrids which is so rojak (mixed up) that I don't know where to start guessing.

Moving Racks








Closeup of the above



Nepenthes Room
Apologies, I took only few pictures as I am conserving my camera battery. Don't do justice here.
Moving Racks


Darlingtonia Carlifornia seedling


That is all for now.

Glad to be of assistance. The Drosera is D. dilatato-petiolaris.

Triffid Park is a retail/wholesale nursery located about an hour south east of Melbourne. Inspection is by appointment only. They do have a mail order service available.
