Darlingtonia californica

Carnivorous!

Cobra Lily is perhaps the most spectacular of all carnivorous plants, with the appearance of a cobra ready to strike. Found in wet areas of Western Oregon and Northern California, the Cobra Lily traps its prey in its hooded pitcher, from which there is no escape. This is a prized addition to any carnivorous plant collection, but cultivation can be challenging as the soil must be kept cool and very damp. Some people provide water every day by adding distilled ice chips, which serves to cool the soil. It appears that soil pH is not important, but the plant does require careful attention. Grows 18" - 24" in height and prefers light shade.

World's Largest Cactus

This mammoth cactus is found growing in northwestern Mexico. It can reach over 60 feet in height, weigh 25 tons and live for hundreds of years. But it is slow growing, so the cactus is rather unlikely to take over a yard or living room in your own lifetime.

Rediscover this Old Favorite

The Brandywine is one of the oldest heirlooms and among the most popular. Freshly sliced out of the garden, Brandywine's classic, tomatoey flavor is truly hard to beat. The pink red fruits commonly weigh over a pound and are relatively late-maturing. These plants tend to grow quite tall and gangly. Hence, the plants need good support and should be pinched or pruned for best results. This is the traditional potato leaf variety.

Great in the garden or in a patio pot.

Flower spikes develop on unharvested plants, which are pretty for cutting.

Tacca chantrieri

Outlandish and bizarre, the Black Tacca (Bat Flower) appears downright alien. Foot-long filaments or "whiskers" dangle from large, purple-brown, nearly-black bracts that form part of the inflorescence. The foliage is handsome in its own right, consisting of large textured, glossy green leaves. The Tacca is indeed an amazing and very exotic-looking plant. Requires warm temperatures (min 50°F) and prefers humid, moist and shady conditions. Grows 2 - 3 feet in height. Not an easy plant to grow and seeds sometimes take several months to germinate. But the plant is well worth every bit of patience and effort.

A unique and exceedingly rare caudiciform type plant from Madagascar. The initial growth is rapid to a 3' height - then takes up to a year as it slowly begins an interesting enlargement of the trunk. With more time it will form a caudex that will be semi-prostate. The branches are short, crooked and laden with attractive small bipinnate leaves. Living specimens are hard to find and quite expensive.
