This is the official blog of the Texas Triffid Ranch, a very small carnivorous plant nursery headquartered in Dallas, Texas. More information on the plants, sales events and lectures, and other essentials may be found at the Web site. As for everything else, well, that’s why this is here, isn’t it?
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s a triffid?
Enough people have asked this that merely referring them to the basic explanation isn’t enough. For people on the western shore of the Atlantic, the term is a reference from John Wyndham’s classic novel The Day of the Triffids. For those on the eastern shore, it’s a very popular joke on a par with waving plumber’s helpers in the air and screaming “EX-TER-MI-NATE!”
And before anyone asks, no, the Triffid Ranch doesn’t actually sell triffids. More’s the pity. I plan to have Pink Bunkadoo seeds available next year, though. Check back on February 30.
