NEWS
NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2018/19 EXECUTIVE AND COMMITTEE Our A.G.M. will be held at the Sydney meeting on the 13th of July. One of the objectives at this meeting is to elect the executive (President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer) and one additional Committee member. We are now a national Society, and as such, members from across Australia are eligible to occupy a position. A description of each executive position was detailed in the April newsletter. Now it is time to put your name forward using a self-nomination system.
Please send an email to [email protected] nominating yourself for one of the positions and provide a short background about yourself and any skills you have that may assist you in that role. You must be a current financial member of the Society to be on the committee. Nominations must be received by 31/5/2018. A list of nominees will be published in the June edition of the newsletter along with a proxy voting form for those who wish to vote but cannot make the A.G.M. Please consider this opportunity to be more involved with the Society and have a say in our future.
BRISBANE MEETINGS The Brisbane chapter of the AUSCPS is now meeting on the first Wednesday of each month to accommodate the needs and wishes of our members. The meetings are still held at 7pm in the Library of the Kenmore Village Shopping Centre, 8 Brookfield Road in Kenmore.

Thanks to Hasan, Ian, Laurie, Jeremy, Wesley, Fuzzy, Dave and Robert for being at the stand to answer questions from members of the public. Thanks also to Fuzzy for giving a presentation on the Monday afternoon. Thanks also to those who entered plants. Next year it would help if there were business cards available to hand out to interested members of the public. In relation to judging, Laurie Dorfer was the judge along with Two stewards, provided by the Royal Agricultural Society and Wesley was an Observer. Suggestion for next year – you are strongly encouraged to submit plants for next year’s competition.
2. The Society had a stall at the Collectors’ Plant Fair at Clarendon on April 7th and 8th. Plants were provided by David, Philippe, Lyn and Gordon, Glen, Marina, Ron and Marie, and Rob and Füzzy. Plants for sale included Cephalotus, Darlingtonia, Dionaea, Drosera, Genlisea, Heliamphora, Nepenthes, Pinguicula, Sarracenia, and Utricularia. There was much interest from members of the public. Most plants (85%) brought in were sold, particularly on the first day. Thanks to David, Glen, Marina, Ron, Marie, Sean, Wesley, Gordon, Lyn, Sean, Rob and Füzzy for time at the stall. The display received much positive attention. Suggestion that bags of potting mix and aquatic Utricularia also have an inserted tag, or perhaps a stapled paper tag per bag on them. Perhaps rearrange the tables to they are more accessible and have two cash boxes, or perhaps a split kitty so two people can be handling cash at the same time.
3. Update on raffle ticket sales for Allen Lowrie’s Magnum Opus. $90 raised so far, including some sales from overseas.
4. Update on AUSCPS meeting in Canberra. 13 members at the last meeting. They are going well with many keen members to give presentations. They are looking for a new venue for future meetings.

IN THE GREENHOUSE
ALDROVANDA Plants will enter dormancy soon and survive winter as floating turions in cold climates. BROCCHINIA / CATOPSIS Maintain high light levels and humidity. Fertilise with a diluted foliar application of urea free fertiliser.
BYBLIS Byblis gigantea and lamellata are now in active growth. Keep the soil moist to wet. Treat seed with Ga3 or smoke water and sow in early autumn.
The northern annual species of Byblis will soon finish their life cycle. Harvest 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. Leaf production will soon replace trap production.
DARLINGTONIA Darlingtonia will soon enter dormancy. Keep the plants cold to prolong the dormancy.
DIONAEA All VFTs should be in active growth. Keep well watered.
DROSERA
Tuberous Drosera begin to break dormancy. Increase watering and expose to bright or direct light. Treat seed with Ga3 or smoke water and sow in early autumn.
Pygmy Drosera begin to produce gemmae. Harvest and place the gemmae on a peat:sand mix (1:1). Mist spray until the tap root forms.
Other Winter growing species such as D. cistiflora and pauciflora commence growth. Treat seed with Ga3 or smoke water and sow in early autumn.
Tropical and sub-tropical species will be in full growth and flower. Keep the soil very moist. and keep the plants warm. Collect seed and sow onto a peat based media.
Temperate Drosera such as D. filiformis, D. intermedia and D. rotundifolia enter dormancy and form a winter hibernacula.
DROSOPHYLLUM Drosophyllum will be in active growth. Growth rates increase with increased prey capture and the cooler weather. Seed may be sown now. Scarify the hard seed coat or pour boiling water over the seed for a few seconds and then soak in water for 24 hours before sowing.
Page �13
GENLISEA Genlisea should be in flower and active growth. Keep warm and the water levels high.
HELIAMPHORA Keep plants in a bright and very humid location. Avoid temperatures over 30°C. Fertilise with a diluted foliar application of urea free fertiliser every 2-4 weeks.
NEPENTHES Autumn is a good time for Nepenthes. Aim to keep the lowland plants warm to hot and in high humidity. Highland species will enjoy the cooler nights. Mist in the afternoon to reduce air temperatures and increase humidity.
PINGUICULA Mexican species/hybrids begin to enter dormancy and produce small succulent rosettes. Reduce watering and humidity.
Warm-temperate species such as P. primuliflora and lusitanica will continue growth. Keep the water up to P. primuliflora and take leaf cuttings.
RORIDULA Roridula is in active growth. Flowering ends. Harvest any seed and sow in autumn. Keep the soil moist and place in a very bright and airy situation with low humidity.
SARRACENIA Sarracenia will soon enter dormancy. Leave the old trap on the plant. Keep moist.
UTRICULARIA Most terrestrial Utricularia will be in active growth and flower. Keep moist to wet.
Aquatic Utricularia are in active growth. Keep algae under control.
Winter growing species, such as U. multifida and U. menziesii resume growth. Keep moist to wet.
Tropical Utricularia - Maintain higher temperatures, humidity and air movement. Keep soils moist.
