Very very gorgeous & showy. I hope mine will become like yours one fine day. You said it grows very fast rite ? Congrats......
Our challenge ( those planting outdoors ) will be how to protect it from the outside elements. But i guess it ain`t as fragile as it looks. As with most CPs, they are a lot tougher than we give them credit for.

so nice. Do your b.liniflora still produce seeds . Yes it does. Just look at the amount of flowers. It flowers and produce seeds continuously. Those whose seeds have germinated will have tons of seeds when the plant grow up. |

As with most CPs, they are a lot tougher than we give them credit for. Yes Tarence, it matures within a few months and start producing flowers and seeds just within a few months of germination. I guess it should be ok since they grow in the wild under all the natural elements. But sometimes I wonder. The stem seems very soft and thin. And it produces alot of sticky glue when showered. I showered mine a few weeks back the whole plant fell flat on the media and it produces lots of sticky dews. It's like the whole plant is filled with glue. All the leaves was stuck together in a clump. What a mess. I had to unglue its leaves one by one. But I realised after 1-2 days some of the leaves unglued itself. Still some others need a little help from me. |

Dato D,
They 're still too small to take photo. My 'cap ayam' camera can't focus the tiny seedlings.
Will take photo when they grow big a bit, hopefully nothing bad happen to my seedling la.
Regards

wonderful plant! Sum info about this plant. <nostalgic background music starts here > Byblis contains 2 species b. liniflora and b. gigantae (b. gigantae found only in Western Australia and B. liniflora is common to the three northern states of Australia and New Guinea). It's a member of Biblidaceae family, this genus was named in 1908 by R.A. Salisbury after Byblys, the Greek Nymph who fell in love with her brother, I repeat, she fell in love with her brother (gasp, choke, groan). Byblys' love was unrequited ; she hanged herself and was turned into a fountain- Now the connection- it is the droplets of water that make the story association relevant. After 31 years, John Lindley published the second species in this genus- B. gigantae. <nostalgic background music ends here> My question, 1. Is it difficult to maintain? 2. Is it expensive? 3.Where can I get my hands on one of these? |

David grows it under growlights in his apartment. The rest of us just started germinating the CP. So far, it`s been fine. They are fast growers. David is selling the seeds at 25 for rm10. You can PM him or look under the stuff for sale section.....

Hi Lisham,
At the moment I do not have baby plantlets for sale. Perhaps you can check with the other members as I know a few of them have plantlets from the seeds I gave them.

Errr....from our limited knowledge on biblis, ( from savage garden book ), it seems that their roots are very sensitive, any slight movement might kill it. So i wouldn`t recommend shipping over Biblis. Go for the seeds lah. It will germinate ! At least it did for almost all of us ( except for David himself & Zak )
