The Australian Garden at the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum and Botanic Garden
-
This week we're going back to our January '26 visit to the UC Santa Cruz
Arboretum and Botanic Garden. Today I'm sharing photos from the Australian
Garden,...
Love the venus fly trap. I haven't had one in years. I should get one this year, they're fun to watch.
If you happen to be new to venus fly traps, one thing about them is that they can't stand extreme cold however they do need a cooler dormancy period so they are kind of fussy.
I used to grow it, but now I prefer pitcher plants since they can be grown outdoors easily
Tradescantia. Not new for me!
And again with the carnivorous plants... A theme?
Steve: thanks for the tips!
Lisa: Maybe. Carnivorous plants have been on my list for a couple of years now.
Does anybody know if deer and rabbits eat pitcher plants or venus flytraps?
Hi, Alan, let me know how your cumin seeds sprout and grow. Did you go to the Schlafly garden event on the 17th? I brought some Chinese cabbage seeds but did not find you there.
