The pitcher plant project headquarters

Rob built this custom greenhouse during the Covid times. I am completely in love with it.
Shall we step inside?
I've been obsessing about basket ferns (Aglaomorpha coronans) for awhile now and I was all gaga over Rob's...
And then I spotted these planted up nepenthes pitchers! 
Plants growing on plants is one of my very favorite things, plants growing IN plants however, that takes it to an entirely different place.
I don't have any pitchers quite this large, but you can believe I'll be saving the dried up ones I do have and hoping to coming up with something like this. Don't you love the furry fern rhizomes?
I could have spent hours in here inspecting every last plant. Rob was very patient with me as I surveyed the treasures.

Look at this bowl planting! Those small Darlingtonia californica are planted right into hollowed out spots in the rock.
So cool! You know this got my mind a working on what I could create with a darlingtonia pup. Rob is a very creative guy!
Wanna see some amazing nepenthes pitchers? Here we go...







There were also several heliamphora...
And a carnivorous bromeliad! Brocchinia reducta I think (?)
There was also a flying whale, planted up with a shark fin cactus, Epiphyllum chrysocardium.
Check this masterpiece out! I think it's a Oceaniopteris gibba/Blechnum gibbum (?) planted up in a nice piece of cork. Instant trunking tree fern...
Okay, finished in the greenhouse it's time to see what's outdoors—I should note that my visit fell on a very smoky (wildfires) day, hence the odd coloration in the sky and on the plants.
Here's the view from above. Rob took me up to the back deck to survey things...yes, that's a lot of sarracenia! Rob built those custom tables himself.
While I do love flowers in my home, I don't always pay them their due in a garden—so I wanted to be sure to stop and snap a couple shots of Dahlia's lovely dahlias.


Rob does collect plants that aren't sarracenia too (which we will get to soon... )...
Including agaves!
Sinks make great pitcher plant planters, who knew?
And how cool is this creation? Sarracenia, moss, and a creepy cool dragon eye—check out Rob's post on it here.
Have you ever seen a more fabulous mass of flytraps?
Well, then there's this one...
And this one!
But you know what? I've made you wait long enough to look at those pitchers...




Rob pointed out the different Sarracenia species and was very generous with his knowledge. 
The fact I can't share names with you is only because my brain didn't retain that level of info.
I pretty much stopped at the "oh! that's cool!" point of identification.



Rob is very good at the selfies! (it is an art form). Here we are, like Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin—only we're in the sarracenia field.
I came home with plants! I'm trying (again) to get the hang of heliamphora (my last attempt didn't make it), Rob trusted me to make a go of one of his Heliamphora heterodoxa x minor.

And check this out, a division of his Aglaomorpha coronans!
