A garden's chronicles


Welcome,
At the times of social networks, starting a blog might be considered old-fashioned in a way but this is pretty convenient to share in a same place all my obsessions and creations.
"Strange fruits" is mainly focused on carnivorous plants as it is my main center of interest at the moment. You will thus find infos on the plants I grow, my cultivation techniques, my travels, updates on my research and publications as a taxonomist, reports on CP meetings, CP books reviews and much more. You will also find a lot of stuff linked to literature, music, entomology and drawing. I do hope you will find here a couple of interesting things.
Remember that this is a blog. Therefore, you are all welcome to share thoughts and comments.

Lipsticked carunculata



I know I've been showing this species quite often recently but I just can't help myself. I thought it would be funny to show how the shape and colour of the peristome have developed.
Truly a spectacular species if you want my opinion. This the variety robusta or a mere "form" of bongso according to your befief. The dark red nearly took a month to cover all the peristome.
