Jimscott, I agree that D'Amato isn't the end all for info but it is always a good starting point and reference. But from my internet searches about Mexipings, most say that they like a more airy and looser soil. And yes, I always wash all cp planting ingredients well before using. I then save...

PB I would think they put them in the cubes as a mini greenhouse and to protect them getting poked and prodded by curious fingers, or it's probably just the way the nursery markets it's products. I've had good luck with plants from them as well as the terracotta and green ones. As a matter of...

Thanks to all of you for the help. Now that I think of it, I think it was Home Depot that I bought it from. Lowes sells the ones in the plastic cubes. Anyway I had never seen one here before I found this one and that's the only reason I bought it. When I saw it my first thought was Mexican ping...

Could someone please tell me what species of Ping in the photo is? I bought it at Lowes about three months ago in the usual plastic cup arrangement, but I've never seen one like this at any of the nurseries around here. The planting medium it grows from appears to be nothing more than peat and...

No, not over generous. Actually, you are doing ME a favour by helping me clean out my enclosure because I need room for some other projects. Alan

Hey Pond Boy, keep getting better. I have more Neps of various species than I have room for. You can have 1/2 of my collection if you want them (5 or 6 nice ones), all lowland grown. Let me know if they'll fit your needs. Alan

Travis, I wouldn't worry about it too much, my Mom and Dad have been married 50 years and he is 10 years older than she. My wife is 7.5 years younger than I and we've been married for 27 years so I think compatibality is a greater consideration than age difference. Good Luck! Alan

You're very welcome Fygee. This worked out very nicely because everyone who requested a plant gets one. No drawing was necessary.

Either way is fine Fygee. You are added to the list.

Sorry Tamlin, I'll remember that in the future because I didn't know the quoting procedure. Now I do. Thanks for pointing that out.

Well, I think the simplist way to decide and be fair at the same time is to leave the offer open until Sunday night Aug 15, then I wil print the names of all of the requestees, cut them into single pieces fold them up and put all in a box and shake it up. My wife will then draw 12 names. No need...

I have about a dozen or so extra Drosera spatulata 'Suzy Q's that I am going to give to other cp growers. As you might know, Tamlin named them Suzy Q and PAK gave me some seeds from her supply. I don't need as many as I have so I decided to give most of them away. Also Tamlin informed me that...

Uranium-635 will cure any and all VFT wounds.

That's an easy id. That's the larval form of one of those cute little guys who escorted Richard Dreyfus into the giant spacecraft on the movie "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind".
