Tepuis to Tucson - Growing Heliamphora in the Sonoran Desert
"Heliamphora are often viewed as delicate plants that require close replication of their unique tropical alpine habitat to succeed in cultivation. I have found that many species and hybrids are much tougher than they're cracked up to be and can be acclimated to less than ideal conditions and still thrive. In this video I'll show you how I cultivate these amazing plants in ordinary household conditions in the Sonoran desert." - Andrew Geary, @yraegwerdna
Byblis, an Introduction to the Rainbow Plants with Greg Allan and Cindy Chiang
Byblis are an enigmatic and relatively unstudied genus of striking sticky-leaved plants resembling narrow-leaved sundews. All are native to Australia and New Guinea where they exist alongside numerous other carnivorous genera, including Drosera (some of which look remarkably similar to filiform Byblis), Utricularia, and Nepenthes. Byblis are found as annuals or, rarely, perennials, in tropical habitat defined by fire. In this presentation, Allan and Chiang also describe the genus Byblis as possessing active flypaper traps, an attribute that has not until recently been applied to the genus.
