Reconstituted dried sphagnum moss is used here. The scapes are still green after three months. The cultivar is ‘Big Mouth’.
Venus Flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) will often split themselves into two or more corms each growing season. These young corms will grow faster than seed-grown plants, but if natural divisions are still too slow for your liking you may wish to try scape cuttings.

The Australasian Carnivorous Plants Society Inc. is now offering two forms of membership to cater for those who want to receive electronic versions of Carniflora Australis ($25) and those who still prefer the printed version ($35). The difference in cost is to cater for the increase in postage and printing fees of the
journal.
Over the past year the society Executive has been busy reviewing, updating and implementing existing services to reach a broader range of enthusiasts and provide value for money for your membership fee. New memberships and renewals may be achieved by attending our monthly meetings or by completing the membership form attached to this newsletter.
Without a strong and committed membership the Australasian Carnivorous Plant Society Inc. will cease to exist, so if you love carnivorous plants, love to read Carniflora Australis and love to meet other growers and collectors, then NOW is the time to join.

Summary of the September meeting
The September meeting was the first to be held in the new venue. After learning the layout of the complex all agreed that the venue is excellent. The main events for the meeting were the ‘Plant of the Month competition’ and the Photo Competition.
The feature plant group for the month was Nepenthes.
Several Nepenthes plants were brought in for the ‘Plant of the month’ competition: Nepenthes maxima x talangensis, Nepenthes truncata, N. ventricosa x ovata, N. (ventricosa x sibuyanesnsis) x trusmadiensis (left), and N. ventricosa x tobaica ‘Red’.
A pot of Sarracenia leucophylla emerging from dormancy with a mass of Pinguicula primuliflora plants in flower was also entered in the completion. The winner was the plant of N. maxima x talangensis (see page 7).
