Welcome to Tipitiwitchet, here I have collected phine photographs I have taken of the Carnivorous Plants that I cultivate.
Tipitiwitchet is an old term for the Venus Fly Trap and a rascally clever one at that. Here you will see those plants as well as the numerous other types of Carnivorous Plants that I have grown the last few years.
I first got interested in the subject around 1986 after seeing Death Trap on PBS and studied everything I could find on the subject, and then made my first few ill-fated attempts at growing these beautiful plants.
A friend had given me a copy of the Savage Garden in 1999 which I had read forwards and backwards and I have been successfully growing these plants since March 2003 after visiting California Carnivores.
I joined the New England Carnivorous Plant Society in October 2005 at their 3rd annual show and have been exhibiting at their annual shows since 2006. They are a great group of enthusiasts and a lotta fun to hang around.
I currently grow most of my plants indoors under artificial lighting which present their own sets of challenges and benefits. Required dormancy’s are observed by way of seasonal temperature changes and adjustment of the photoperiods.
I can occasionally be found on some of the Carnivorous Plant forums, I have accounts with pitcher-plants.com, terraforums, lhnn.com & the ICPS forum.
Look for Quogue (that’s me)
I hope you all enjoy the photographs I have posted here, and I will be updating this page with helpful information that I hope could help you to grow these amazing plants as well.
