CARNIVOROUS PLANT PHOTO FINDER

The pages at this site are updated frequently. The revision date is at the top of each of the Genera pages. Reload or refresh your browser each time you revisit.

CAUTION: The identification of these plants is by the owner of the linked site. If I become aware of a questionable identity, I attach a comment following that link. The purpose of my Web pages is simply to assist you in finding photos. I do not vouch for their true identity.

For over 50 years I have been interested in carnivorous plants and often wondered what a particular species looks like. The Internet is a wonderful tool, but sometimes finding a particular item requires wading through lots of irrelevant files.

So, I began collecting links to photos of CP that I ran across. The following list of links does not include every photo, just the ones that I have found. The taxonomy follows the ICPS Carnivorous Plant Database. The identity of the plant is that which the owners of the photo have posted at their Web site. Although the convention for naming hybrids is to list female parent first, the order of listing parents is unfortunately not consistent among growers. For example, the hybrid N. x [alata*maxima] may or may not be the same breeding as the hybrid listed N. x [maxima*alata].

Many of the photos are copyrighted by the owner, so I strongly suggest that you contact the owners of the photographs before reproducing them elsewhere. Often there are more photos and descriptions at a particular web site. I encourage you to visit the owner's Web pages for a more complete understanding of each photograph.

If you are aware of a photo of a species that is missing, or a better photo than those listed, please let me know. Also, if a plant is clearly misidentified, let the owner know, with a cc to me. I will add a note to the list stating that the identity is possibly incorrect (see for example, Nepenthes anamensis or Pinguicula 'Weser').

The Web is extremely dynamic. Links appear and disappear every day. I remove broken links as I find them, but some sneak by. I realize that there is a problem with some of the links. For example, direct links to jpg files at geocities.com and community.webshots.com (and some other sites) often fail, not because my URL is not valid, but because these ISPs apparently block links that go directly to a file or they limit traffic. The way around it is to go to the orginator's homepage and navigate from there. Another trick that sometimes works is to copy the link and paste it in your browser address window. Also, some sites use non-standard html coding for their links that is not recognized by some older browsers. In such case, try a newer version of the browser which is more permissive of coding irregularities. Finally, some sites restrict viewing to registered members. For example, to see the images from the free German forum Gesellschaft fur Fleischfressende Pflanzen (G.F.P.) simply requires becoming a registered member. http://forum.carnivoren.org/signup.php

If you discover any problems, please let me know and I will attempt to fix it.
