A walk through an autumn garden: 5 things to do at Norfolk Botanical Garden
Are you looking for ideas for a fall outing or hoping to see a holiday light show? Check Norfolk Botanical Garden.
I can’t imagine a lovelier place for a fall outing than Norfolk Botanical Garden. The garden, with its varied landscaping and many theme gardens, is arguably at its peak in the spring when the azaleas are blooming. Still, it’s surprising how many colorful blooms you’ll see on its 175 acres. Of course, the biggest attraction this season is the Dominion Energy Garden of Lights, a walk throughh a…

My little N. ventricosa has been doing so well I got brave and ordered some more carnivores! The paler nepenthes is closely related to ventracosa and the spotty one is a ventracosa hybrid, so I’m hoping they’ll do just as well. The fly trap and purple pitcher plant will be my first try doing winter dormancy. Fingers crossed!
Species in image descriptions!
#Noodling and outdoor bog garden with natives but it’s such a can of wormssssss.#How big does a raised bed need to be to insulate through the occasional polar vortex we’ve been getting?#Will putting it in an old metal bathtub make it freeze harder? Will the soil need to be changed out every few years???#I just want a mess of northern purple pitchers and bog cotton. And maybe some of the lil native sundews. But this venosa is tiding me over.#carnivorous plants#indoor plants#house plants#plantblr#venus flytrap#pitcher plants#nepenthes#Sarracenia#Look at all my new wards they’re so cute :3

Recently started collecting carnivorous plants and we got some fruitflies and so I moved em all up into the kitchen. My new favourite activity is watching them catch the fruitflies, HIGHLY recommended. I get SUCH a kick out of it, go buy some sundews people.
#the schadenfreude when they get caught by the sundews is so great im like YES! YES!#also just put em into a little glass terrarium and keep the door open and when there were a bunch in i trapped them in#and delightedly watched as they started to get got by my sundew#i cant tell if the pitcher plant is catching any cause i cant see em#I'm being consumed by the need to buy more carnivorous plants fuck#i've got two different types of pitches and a sundew and i wanna get our native sundew since its so cute#plus i wanna get a butterwort and a venus flytrap#eventually... i shall get there...#im ignoring how many other plants i have in my room this is fine i can definitely fit more in there yup#carnivorous plants#hugin rambles#i Need To Know if the people on campus that had a pop up table are going to be selling more carnivorous plants because they had such a great#selection...

Some recent finds from the Heaps Peak Arboretum Native Plant Sale yesterday! It was a great event, very well run by the volunteers. Getting there about an hour early was the right move, and the "serious" buyers brought wagons or huge bags for their purchases.
I went to check it out and specifically limited myself to only a few plants so I didn't overload myself and take on too much this summer. The baby is almost 9 months old now, so I'll have a little more time but it would definitely be too easy to plant the entire yard and lose it all.
So, I can home with a Lepechinia fragrans or Fragrant Pitcher Sage, a Ceanothus maritimus "Popcorn" (a cultivar), and a Blushing Coral Bells. According to a brief Google search that one is not actually a CA native plant, but is actually from the east coast of the US and isn't invasive so it can live in a pot instead of being planted directly into the ground.
I should have gotten some monkey flowers from the small patch of sun we have. Good thing there's another sale in the fall!

Plains and Barrens and Bogs, Oh My!
Places new to us and those so much more familiar rounded out the week as My Guy and I made time to explore. Our first journey found us driving over an hour and a half south and only getting fake lost as we searched for routes and a place to eat lunch. Mike’s Diner won, a hearty ham and cheese sandwich for him, and grilled cheese with tomato for me. Comfort food. And then we headed along a few…

Checking out Venus Flytraps in their NATIVE habitat
Come with us as we look for the animal eating carnivorous plants in their Native habitat at Carolina Beach State Park - Venus Fly Traps, Pitcher Plants, and Sundews. We come across many other wonderous animals on our hike through the swampy area.

Lowbush blueberries with darling little pink flowers and a pitcher plant seen in a bog. I always thought of carnivorous plants as being "exotic" and not cold tolerant, but this type of pitcher plant is native to new england!
Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry)
Serracenia purpurea (common pitcher plant)
And rock harlequin! Capnoides sempervirens, aka pink corydalis. You can see some blueberries in the background of this too
