Alrighty friends it is confirmed and on the calendar!
Our next show will be August 8th from 10am-3pm at Frisella Nursery for their 2nd annual house plant show!

We will have our wide variety of carnivorous plants, orchids, oddities and self designed 3d accessories.

As always everything brought with us is propagated or made in house, no flipping, no wholesaling and no selling plants that aren't ours. Just quality plants from sprout to spike!

It's that time of year again, if you grow any Nepenthes Bicalcarata you know what I'm saying.

If you don't grow Bicals I'll fill you in. These plants are true lowland nepenthes which means they are snobs for high temps and just as high humidity.
We can really only make this one plant (Bicalcarata "red flush") happy in the height of summer. If you feel like you are cooking and swimming through the air it's in heaven.

The main distinct feature on these pitchers besides their stout size is the beautiful set of fangs they produce underneath their lids, these plants really show their carnivore side.

I KNEW THE GREENHOUSE WAS HAUNTED!!!
Finally! I was able to snap a picture of the ghost lurking around in the greenhouse. Terrifying if I do say so myself....

Utricularia pubesence, a type of carnivorous bladderwort is always a fun terrarium build addition as it spreads along the ground in these neat little circular leaves and eventually give you these adorable ghost like flowers.

Yesterday was truly a wonderful first show back!
We want to say thank you to those who stopped by and talked about plants with us, those who shared the posts and those who could only be there in spirit!
It's always an honor and our privilege to share our passion for plants with you.

Currently we don't have any other shows planned but let's change that, where do you want to see us? What shows or fairs do you want The Biota Cabinet to green up next?

I know it's been a long time since you have seen our name pop up on your timelines!!!!!

The past year and a half has been just a small hiatus while welcoming our son. That being said these past few weeks have been nonstop repotting, propagating and seed sowing.

70+ orchids
200+ carnivorous
250+ fruits and veggies
And tons of brainstorming

As always everything grown in house, propagated in house and no wholesale flipping from us. Just quality plants cared for from sprout to flower spike!

We are very much looking forward to seeing everyone in the plant/reptile/craft shows again very soon!!
