VALE - ADRIAN SLACK It is with great sadness that one of the masters of Carnivorous Plants, Adrian Slack, passed away in June. Adrian was the author of two book Carnivorous Plants (1979, 2005) and Insect-Eating Plants and How to Grow Them (1986, 2006). Adrian Slack also developed hundreds of cultivars and many have been named after him.The sundew species Drosera slackii was named in his honour.

The meeting opened at 7.50 p.m.
PRESENT There were 15 members in attendance.
APOLOGIES Joan Fairhill, Brett Daly and Jeremy Aitken.
New members: Welcome John Anderson, Graham
MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING The minutes of the May 2018 meeting were tabled. Those present were asked to confirm the accuracy of the minutes and to suggest changes, omissions or corrections. In the absence of any corrections, omissions or corrections a motion was raised that the minutes be accepted. A motion was raised that the minutes be accepted by those present. Moved by: Dave Colbourn Seconded by: Glen Moss Motion: Carried
BUSINESS ARISING 1. The Annual General Meeting will be held at the next meeting, on the 13th July. Notification of the AGM, with current nominations for positions, and a proxy form for those unable to attend have been sent out with the June newsletter. Nominations for positions remain open. Please consider this opportunity to be more involved in the Society and have a say in the Society’s future and nominate for the executive. More nominations to happen, but the major offices have at least one name on the ballot. 2. The Koi Pet & Garden Show was held on Sunday, 20th May at the Fairfield Showground. Thanks to Marina, Ron and Marie, and Wesley for attending. 3. Update on raffle ticket sales for Allen Lowrie’s Magnum Opus. $110 raised so far, including some sales from overseas. 4. Update on the ‘Field guide to Carnivorous Plants in the Sydney Region’. Draft maps have been prepared for review. 5. ‘The Savage Garden’ is now available for sale. Books have been sent to the Canberra branches. Tentatively 5 have already been sold. Still awaiting a response from the Brisbane chapter. 6. The Burwood PO Box isn’t back in operation. Glen to follow up why. Thus no new correspondence to report. 7. A combined Christmas Party and Show is planned for the meeting on 9th November. The planning is still incomplete, but it may involve the AusCPS joining up with another Society on the day.
CORRESPONDENCE
In-coming Out-going Printed copies of the June 2018 Carniflora News were posted to Richard Sullivan, and Steve Clemesha.
Page 8 TREASURER’S REPORT Current account balance: $4,000+ Paid members = 71 The Society made $94.05 from sales commissions at the Koi Show.
GENERAL BUSINESS 1. A request has been received from Richard Landon of the Leura Gardens Festival to run a stall sometime between 29/9/18 and 7/10/18. The stall does not need to be manned and costs no fee to the Society. Plant sellers are charged 25% of the sale of the plants. The money raised goes to Katoomba District ANZAC Memorial Hospital and related health organisations. The decision was that with the 25% and being so close to the Kariong fair, we decided against joining them with a stall. David Colbourn has advised Richard that the AusCPS has declined participation in the Festival this year. 2. Brisbane chapter meetings will now be held on the first Friday of each month, from this month. 3. The next Plant Lovers’ Fair at Kariong will be held over the weekend of 22nd-23rd September. The Society has paid for a stall at the next show. Please consider volunteering at this event and bringing plants or related items for sale. The Society will take its usual 15% commission of such sales to cover its costs. Further discussions on this event will be held in August.
PLANT OF THE MONTH: Carnivorous Bromeliads The following plants were brought in for the ‘Plant of the Month Competition; 1. Brocchinia reducta David Colbourn 2. Brocchinia reducta David Colbourn
The winner was: Brocchinia reducta grown by David Colbourn
Following the competition there was a general discussion on Carnivorous Bromeliads. Brocchinia reducta grown in Newcastle is grown in similar conditions to Sarracenia – full sun, in peat & sand mix sitting in water. Catopsis berteroniana is grown as an epiphyte (like a Tillandsia). [fresh seed of Catopsis berteroniana is now available in the seed bank) in the seed bank – germinates on washed coconut chunks or coarse bark pieces, misted regularly].
All three carnivorous bromeliads [Brocchinia reducta, B. hechtioides and Catopsis berteroniana] have a waxy bloom on the leaves that help insects slide into the tank where they are digested. They also produce enzymes to help digest prey. Bromeliad tanks, such as Brocchinia, may also provide a home for Poison Arrow Frogs (Dendrobates).
Bromeliads are a new plant family, and are only found in the Americas (particularly in Central and South America).
There is a 4th bromeliad, Puya chilensis, with recurved spines on its thick leaves that are known to trap small birds. These plants benefit from the extra nutrients of trapped animals, but are not considered to be carnivorous. This species, however, has periodically generated media interest with stories of how they trap animals (even sheep!), which generally coincide with the rare blooming of plants in public botanic gardens, e.g. https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/ botanicgardens/blogs/around-the-gardens/170920-sheep-eaters
Other plants brought in for show: 1. Drosera tubaestylis – grown by Füzzy and Rob 2. D. macrophylla (and D. macrantha) [both in bud] – grown by Füzzy and Rob 3. Nepenthes sibuyanensis x talangensis 4. Nepenthes lowii x ventricosa (Red) 5. Byblis gigantea
Page 9 The meeting closed at 8.26 p.m. and members adjourned for supper provided by Marina Chong.
The next meeting is the Annual General Meeting, and will be held at Burwood Community Centre on Friday 13th July, 2018 starting at 7.30 p.m. The ‘Plant of the month’ are winter-growing Drosera.
Page 10 CANBERRA MEETING MINUTES
MINUTES OF THE AUSTRALASIAN CARNIVOROUS PLANT SOCIETY INC. HELD ON FRIDAY, 1ST JUNE 2018 DOWNER COMMUNITY CENTRE (DCC), CANBERRA, ACT
The meeting opened at 7.30 pm
PRESENT There were 11 members in attendance.
APOLOGIES John Nielsen, Robert Little
GENERAL BUSINESS This was the first meeting held at the DCC. The consensus from members is that this is a better value for money venue than the BCC and should be used for future meetings.
Money collected at the meeting included $20 in gold coin donations and $120 from 4 sales of The Savage Garden.
The theme for the next meeting will be Sarracenia winter care and maintenance.
BUSINESS ARISING Members discussed the possibility of a promotional event towards the end of the year (Late Nov/Early Dec). There was a general agreement that the first event should focus on promoting carnivorous plant cultivation to the general public through a plant sale event and encouraging purchases to use the AUSCPS as a source of information for successful cultivation. Further discussions will be held at the July meeting and volunteers sought to begin planning and organising an event. Some possibilities that will be explored include: • Hiring a stall at a local market (e.g. Bus Depot markets, Hall Markets) – it was noted that the Bus Depot Markets requires $20 million liability insurance cover by stall holders – BB to check the current AUSCPS liability coverage; • Having a plant sale table at the November Horticultural Society Show; • Arranging a sales table with the Australian Native Plant Society at one of their monthly plant sales at the Australian National Botanic Gardens.
Ross Rowe and Owen O’Neill provided members with a very informative discussion on cultivating and propagating Nepenthes species and hybrids using a variety of plant specimens ranging from seedlings to mature vines. A variety of Nepenthes plants were also available for sale to members at the meeting.
PLANT OF THE MONTH Members brought in a wide range of plants for sale and for display. The following plants were brought in for the ‘Plant of the Month’ Competition: 1. Drosera macrophylla – grown by Barry Bradshaw 2. Nepenthes X Hookeriana – grown by Barry Bradshaw 3. Nepenthes veitchii x burbidgea – grown by Ross Rowe 4. Nepenthes tuncata x macfarlanei – grown by Ross Rowe 5. Nepenthes unknown hybrid – grown by Owen O’Neill 6. Pinguicula unknown species – grown by Owen O’Neill
Page 11 7. Drosera rosulata – grown by Paul Tyerman 8. Drosera bulbosa – grown by Paul Tyerman 9. Nepenthes ventrata? – grown by Denise Palmer
The winner was Nepenthes veitchii x burbidgea grown by Ross Rowe. The meeting closed at 10.00 pm. The next meeting will be held at the Downer Community Centre on Friday July 6th at 7.30pm.

Minutes not submitted
Page 13 IN THE GREENHOUSE
ALDROVANDA Plants will now be dormant if grown outside. Aldrovanda survive the Winter chills by producing a turion, which either floats on the water surface or sinks to the bottom of the pond. Keep an eye on them so they don't get washed away or eaten by birds and animals.
BROCCHINIA / CATOPSIS Maintain high light levels and humidity. Apply light foliar fertilisation (Avoid fertilisers high in Urea). Potted plants will produce more pups which may be divided when semi-mature.
BYBLIS Byblis gigantea and lamellata are now in active growth. Keep the soil moist to wet. Seed may be sown now. Treat seed with Ga3 or smoke water. The northern species of Byblis are close to the end of their life cycle. Keep moist and humidity high. Harvest and store the seed. Growth rates for all species of Byblis may be accelerated with increased prey capture or fertilisation. Place some rotting fruit around the plants or sprinkle granulated fish food onto the leaves. Pollinate the flowers using the “buzz” technique.
CEPHALOTUS Keep the soil moist but well drained. Avoid fungal problems by keeping good air movement around the plants. Non-carnivorous Winter leaves should be produced now. Pitchers also colour up nicely with the cooler nights.
DARLINGTONIA Darlingtonia is now dormant. Keep moist and cold as long as possible to ensure a full dormancy is achieved. Sow seed onto moist Sphagnum moss and expose to the cold nights to aid stratification of the seed.
DIONAEA All VFTs will now be dormant. Sow seed onto your preferred medium and expose to the cold to aid stratification of the seed. Seed will germinate in Spring.
DROSERA Tuberous Drosera are now in active growth with the rosetted species in flower. Keep the pots moist. Add small wire trainers for the stem forming species. Pygmy Drosera will end their gemmae phase and begin to produce carnivorous leaves. Keep plants moist to wet in full sun. Other Winter growing species such as D. ramentacea, cistiflora and pauciflora will be in full growth. Keep the pots moist to wet. Tropical and sub-tropical species need to be kept warm to keep them alive. Species such as D. burmannii will begin to die. Harvest the seed and sow in Spring. Petiolaris-complex species may need artificial heating to keep them alive. Aim for a minimum temperature of 25°C. Keep the pots moist to stop the plants entering dormancy. Temperate species such as D. filiformis, D. intermedia and D. rotundifolia will have formed a winter hibernacula and are now dormant.
DROSOPHYLLUM Drosophyllum is in active growth and may be kept wetter during the cooler months. Seed may be sown onto moist compost after treatment with boiling water for 10 seconds. Soak
Page 14 for 24-48 hours in water. Germination may be from 2-8 weeks. Feed with insects to boost growth.
GENLISEA Genlisea should be in flower and active growth. Keep the water levels high with these species. Leaf and trap production will improve when the water level is at soil level. Artificial heating may be required. Avoid exposure to frosts and ideally keep plants above 10°C.
HELIAMPHORA Keep plants in a bright and very humid location. Avoid temperatures over 30°C and less than 10°C. Fertilise with a diluted foliar application of urea free fertiliser every 2-4 weeks.
NEPENTHES Winter sees a dramatic drop in the growth rates and pitcher production of Nepenthes. Keep the lowland species above 15°C at night and as warm as possible during the day. Highland species enjoy cooler nights and will continue to grow. Keep highland plants above 5°C at night and between 20-25°C during the day.
PINGUICULA Mexican species/hybrids are entering dormancy and often flower during this stage. Pollinate the flowers to obtain seed. Most species produce smaller fleshier leaves (heterophyllous). Some species such as P. gigantea and P. emarginata will produce smaller typical leaves (homophyllous). Keep humidity high but the soil drier. Leaf cuttings may be taken by pulling the older leaves from the mother plant. Ensure you get all of the leaf including the white parts close to the roots. Warm-temperate and temperate species such as P. primuliflora and lusitanica will continue to grow. Keep the water up to P. primuliflora and take leaf cuttings.
RORIDULA Roridula growth rates increase with the cooler nights. Seed may be harvested now. Sow onto moist peat/sand. Germination may take 3-8 weeks. Keep the soil moist and ensure good air circulation.
SARRACENIA All Sarracenia species/hybrids will stop producing leaves/phyllodes and enter dormancy. Keep the existing pitchers/leaves on the plants until late Winter. Harvest seed and sow onto your preferred mix. Germination will occur in Spring.
UTRICULARIA Most terrestrial Utricularia will be in active growth and flower. Keep moist to wet. Flowering will resume in Spring.
Aquatic Utricularia will slow in growth and may be dormant. Keep an eye out for U. australis turions floating on the water’s surface.
Winter growing species, such as U. multifida and menziesii will be in active growth.
Tropical Utricularia - Maintain higher temperatures, humidity and air movement. Keep soils moist.
