A beautiful, but frustrating natural hybrid of two temperate butterwort species. Why frustrating? Well, you'll have to watch to learn why. Easy to grow though as far as temperates go, and quite a looker when it blooms en masse in spring!

Utah is a realm of uncertainties for me when it comes to locating reptiles. Perfect conditions can end up turning out nothing, while questionable days sometimes produce the most success. More trips will be necessary to unlock the most interesting creatures here, but on this first day back to the state, a surprising amount was turned up.

Byblis aquatica: The Water-Loving Rainbow Plant
Переглядів 12621 день тому
This plant spotlight is our second of the Rainbow Plants, another fairly easy to grow but much less common species than liniflora, probably solely because of its seed-germination requirements (an easy thing to overcome however). And with some of the most richly-colored flowers in the genus, it's a personal favorite. Make sure to like, subscribe (and turn on the black bell), share the video, and...

Introducing Rainbow Plants: Byblis liniflora

This week's plant spotlight is the first of an odd little group of carnivores from Australia that often get overlooked, due partly to their similarity to sundews but also their somewhat more difficult nature in getting them germinated and growing.

Of all the mountain ranges I've visited so far in Arizona, the Huachucas have presented some of the most frustrating experiences. One day, that trend will be broken, but this was not that day.

My 3 month Serpens is growing flower stalk what should I do? I grew them in december, it's still small now with 3 small leaves.
Great collection and information about the CP 😃
Can you feed her a chicken from the grocery store?
"Can" vs. "should" are two different things. A chicken from a store being either cooked and/or missing all of the ruffage that feathers provide doesn't constitute a healthy whole diet, and they are frequently more expensive than something bred for animal consumption rather than people consumption.
Yo! You up Mapleton Canyon?
If referencing the spot that they decided to plow under for no decent reason, yes.
@carltoncarnivores Yep. That destroyed me when I went up there and saw it. "New water lines"..... Was a great Racer spot. Found Rattle snakes up there as well.
Leave the snake alone! It clearly doesn’t want to be held like that. That’s what’s wrong with people like you . All you know how to do is take
So it's omnivores?
No such term likely applies to plants that just process whatever ends up in the pitcher.
Thanks for the snakes, Carlton.
I've been very curious to see a bull x black pine I'm very grateful that you're doing this cross so I can see what the end product is
Man every time you post plant Videos i get so jelly😅 the huge Jungle and rare plants to show us, i love it! How u keep up with pests? And how you deal with humidity? Keep up the good work🎉.
It's a plastic tent, humidity is maintained on its own. Pests happen, that's a fact of life, it's just finding the solution that works for whatever in question has popped up and using it when the problem shows up.
@carltoncarnivores yeah i got a Cactus collection and mealybugs is the pain of my life, going with neem oil now. It kinda helps but they always returns. Good thing i spot them before they get too many on the Plant.
Unless you use a systemic or physically scrape them out of the roots you will not get rid of mealies. They found a number of my tubers and Sarr seedlings, everything got soaked with systemic stuff.
@@carltoncarnivores i kinda against symetic stuff, due to i have them out in the green house during the summer time. I dont want it to infect the bees and butterflies that visit the green house. But those root mealies sure is annoying to say atleast....i hear you on the tubers but they seem to love Cactus roots as well...didnt had them in my sauromatum nor Amorphophallus yet ....😅
So I'm growing my first Byblis, labeled as liniflora, but I'm finding I need to manually pollinate to get seeds. Now I'm questioning if my plant is properly identified.
If it's a relatively small species with unevenly sized glands, and pale purple, relatively sparse flowers, should be liniflora and seeds should occur on their own (unless the plants are completely undisturbed so the pollen isn't going anywhere, but that's hard to manage).
@carltoncarnivores thanks for the info. I'll take a closer look at the glands later today
@carltoncarnivores any tips for collecting the seed? The first couple to ripen popped before I got to them.
Unless you're watching daily and harvest the pod before it fully dries out, it will invariably pop open. However they usually open facing upward so the seeds don't spill until they're disturbed, so if you can get underneath the pod without jostling it you can usually catch seeds falling as you pull it off the stalk.
HAPPY TRAILS!
I definitely need to check all the other videos. For some reason, the algorithm didn’t send me that much this year.
Thanks for sharing your travels, outdoors, and animals, especially the herps. Happy trails.
Good to see you out and about. Thanks for your dedicated work. Hope that you have a herpy New Year.
Unfortunately where I live, there are no herps about at this time of year.
Cute little plants, your greenhouse looks like a absolute a jungle now😅, thats a good thing tho. No idea how you dont get lost aha. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.🎉
how much water can a person put in the center/urn part of a brocchinia reducta?
This is not something I've tried measuring. They're not meant to be filled completely.
Really really enjoy these deep dives into species that aren’t as well known in cultivation. Your collection itself is very enviable too!
Don't pull your hand away fast like that when they bite you. You can VERY seriously injure them that way. It's just a king...take the bite...it won't kill you.
Friend, you can’t control a knee-jerk reaction…and also no you are not going to injure them by avoiding a bite. At most they might lose a couple of teeth which they are built to deal with on a regular basis. It’s not at all a serious thing. This snake also did chew on me in clips posted to other media.
I used to breed these back in the 90's. Easy to breed and their eggs can be cared for just like colubrid eggs. Simple to keep. Great pets. Mine were as docile as snakes get.
I really like your videos. I also like to go through the details of each individual species so I can customize the growing techniques. It would be very helpful to have videos like this for other species (I grow mostly highland), often the information found on growing is approximate or contradictory and the research takes a lot of time. So thank you!
What a big sweetheart. I love retics. I'm planning on getting a dwarf retic this spring.
Congrats on the cerberus!
🎊 🎈 🎉 CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎈🎊 on the twin-spot! One I’ll probably never see in person because of my diminished lung capacity. BUT we WILL drive up there to at least enjoy the views!
If you have the ability to drive you have a chance to see them. I don't know how many cross the roads on Mt. Graham where the drive is easy but they're frequently seen in the Chiricahuas if you have a vehicle that can make it up there (which, if mine made it, doesn't take too much).
Like your videos immensely. Keep up the great work.
I love the title, that’s my favorite place on earth!
I live in southern Ontario, I cant wait to get my hands on these plants!
I just found one at my ranch last weekend. Wasn’t sure what it was until I researched it. May try to pick him up next time if I see another one.
Envious of anyone that lives where they do; this is still not a species I've been able to see in the wild. And just about wherever they live, you likely also have gray-banded kingsnakes.
@@carltoncarnivores if you make it to Texas Hill Country sometime, would be happy to take you out to go look for some.
Thanks
Nice longnoses!
I got some seed of these. I am migrating to the philipines. How could i grow them the best? In a tree ofr just pot hanging?
I would be extremely suspicious of anything labeled as pure species seeds. I cannot give recommendations for a climate I don't live in but I would strongly not recommend dealing with seeds outside whatsoever.
where do you got this species ? is there some seller which sells IV plants and also exports them ?
I got it from a one-time source who was establishing a seed-grown colony in the US. There's no one tissue-culturing i that I am aware of.
@@carltoncarnivores ah ok too bad. also here in europe nobody got it. as its extremeley endangered i only want IV or vegetative cloned plants. if you someday find someone who could export it for you, i would be really interestes to establish it here in europe for cultivation
Nice! Thanks again for an informative video! This is one species that I do not have. Do you know I might be able to obtain one?
No.
Really brilliant, informative video! Thank you 😊👍
Hey Did you manage to self-pollinate it ? Cheers
Yes but at this point I don't have this species, it did not survive the last winter.
Cool, never know my Red Dragon have that story.
Nice! Been waiting for this one :)
Well this spotlight was a W. Now I’ll be keeping an eye out. What a brilliant Nepenthes species. As for future vids, I want to vote for a Utricularia spotlight. They’re underrated plants that I’ll always welcome more info on; even if it’s a blurb at the end of a spotlight vid on another genus.
Utricularia are one of those groups that, like Drosera...I could not do a video on the whole genus, it's just too much. But eventually there will be vids on specific species, once I get them growing happily again and in bloom.
@@carltoncarnivores that’s exactly what I meant. Although, now that you mention it, I wish you did have access to all 200+ species to highlight. 😄 Thanks for considering the suggestion. 🤙
U. alpina is a species that already has a video however.
N. rosea is probably my favorite pyrophitic Nepenthes! Mine is a male and has flowered twice now.
Nepenthes Thorelii has some relevance to Nepenthes Kampotiana with same living environment. Directly bright sunlight will change a pitcher into bright red color with big size and sturdy High humidity will make them produce round and squat pitcher like Kampot Francois Mey used to misunderstand between Kampotiana and Thorelii bc Kampot also produce round and squat pitcher like Thorelii
Pitcher structure is not the primary let alone sole defining factor between most species in the Indochinese group. There's a reason I stress leaf shape, indumentum, etc. in these videos as well because those are more stable and critical traits. However as an average kampotiana does not produce the same level of globose structure as thorelii, variant populations considered or not. Species names also are never capitalized, only higher taxonomic ranks.
amazing video, loved learning about this :) just sewed some D. auriculata (brisbane ranges national park, VIC, NZ) seeds so i came here for some more information on them! thank you!
Thanks Carlton for sharing another informative video! Krabi Carnivores in Thailand may have them. That's where I got mine. But the importing process with its fees and shipping can be costly and so it is good to share with some fellow growers to go in on the costs. I can testify to the pyrophitic Nepenthes have a gnarly, thick carrot- or ginseng-like root system! The Indo-Chinese Neps are just a fascinating group that I hope to acquire all in time.
Again, a great video on pyrophytic Nepenthes! My N. thorelii 'D' (EP) has actually turned out to be female N. bokorensis with the distinctive domed lids. Keep 'em coming Carlton! I have both N. thai and N. benstonei and would love to know the difference in your opinion, since some claim that they are the same species.
I don't grow thai, would not be able to do a direct comparison. However habitat preferences and indumentum are distinct between the two, which is about as significant as the differences between some other Indochinese taxa.
good video man, you really deserve more subs hope you get there quick
Unfortunately, what's actually needed is watch hours. The YT system requires both a certain number of subscribers and a much, much higher number of annual watch hours in order for me to get any usable value from the views, so figuring out how to get people to keep watching all the way through is the challenge.
Just put a 2 by 4 to climb out
turtle
Do lowii
It's going to be a long time before I have a mature enough lowii to be worth doing a video on. They're immensely slow and hate my summers.
I held a 5 month old baird’s at an expo and fell in love. He was such a chill little guy! The breeder said they’re more docile than Corn snakes so I was surprised to see you say they’re more sassy! Of course, I don’t know much about
By and large, they are far more uppity than your average corn snake. They share more attitude with their relatives the common ratsnakes (obsoletus, alleghaniensis, quadrivittatus) just as they do their build.
Now I'll be having nightmares of spiders LOL!
I only showed I think two spiders, the tarantula and wolf spider...harvestmen are completely harmless and nonvenomous.
wow woody nepenthes!
All Nepenthes are woody as they age. The definition of liana (which is nearly the whole genus) is a woody vine. The sturdiness of tenax is not from being woody, it's from the rigid overall structure of the stem and its short stature.
Outstanding, among some of the best herp videos on UA-cam, all those at Carlton Carnivores.
