New site!

Welcome to the new site of Plantaland. I’ve decided to start a photoblog format, that will allow me to post more easily while keeping everything organized. You can even post your own comments!

Old pics from 2006 and 2007 have been added as archive posts.

Enjoy!

Autumn 2007 (I)

This is an archive post of 2007. The pics were taken in December and show how do the plants look during the cold season, specially if kept outdoors as mines. It's a clear example of why having carnivorous plants in winter is not as funny as in summer...

Sarracenia leucophylla late summer pitchers tend to last until late winter

...but it is not the case of its surrounding plants

Some parts start to dry out, specially due to captured prey

Sarracenia flava pitchers don't last so much...

Some of the Sarracenia minor pitchers still look OK in december...

...this is not the case for Sarracenia rubra

Most of the pitchers of Sarracenia oreophila are dried...

...so they have to be trimmed...

...and only phyllodia survive.

Drosera scorpioides has produced the characteristic winter gemmae.

Dionaea muscipula looks really creepy. It definitely needs a haircut!

Voilá ! After a haircut!

Pinguicula in Iceland

I saw some P. vulgaris during my trip in Iceland. I didn't manage to see any Drosera, but I didn't even know that there were. At the first and second weeks of August, most had mature seed pods.
