My Non-Growlist

  I am now out of the Utricularia business. To borrow from John Laroche in The Orchid Thief: "I'm done with Utricularia" (movie clip from Adaptations) (If you are obsessed with plants enough to be reading this, you should probably check it out). But don't worry about me, I'm moving on to other projects; I have a house with a yard that needs landscaping (complicated by a zone 3 climate), and I'm going to try my hand at some Gesneriads and cacti).

Over the seven or so years that I grew Utrics I managed to accumulate quite a few species. When I disposed of my collection, most of the plants went to people who responded to a posting on the Utricularia forum at Terraforums.com. I would recommend that you look there if you are interested in acquiring plants.

Thanks to everyone who helped me out with plants and shared the hobby with me over the years. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about plants.

For the record, here are the species that passed through my collection
