thanks, herenorthere. That orchid you sent me is still happily alive, BTW. It is a paph. niveum. I was dealing with "family drama", LOL! Mom not going quietly into that great night. Not that she should. She's in pain 24-7...and makes sure everyone around her feels it, too. She's senile, going...

I'm not sure why someone would want to spend thousands of dollars just to go kill something...surely it could be done cheaper and closer. I'm not against hunting. Hunters are conservationists, IMO. License fees from hunters around the world benefit conservation efforts. But to say hunting is...

You know, I asked this same question last year about "floppy pitchers" and got all sorts of smart arsed answers, LOL! I'm thinking that some varieties of pitcher plants put up floppy pitchers early in the season, and they're followed by more tumescent ones later in the season.

The village I live in sends out an analysis of our water (since it's well water) every year...it's all gibberish to me.  I scanned it at work and sent it to myself at home.  It's a PDF file. I was wondering if any one of you would mind looking at this info sheet(If I e-mailed you the scan) and...

Bug, don't be evil, LOL!

Thanks for the plant! Do you make them out of iron, or something?

Thanks Alvin!

you should see what happens when you write a post asking about floppy pitchers.....

Just 3 that I'm thrilled with, on a S. Oreo x S. Flava. I'm thrilled because this is my first full year with CP's and I fully expected to kill all of them, even though I have lots of experience with other types of plants. The other plants appear to be waking up, even the S. Minor that I feared dead.

I overwintered some Sarrs in my not very deep covered window-wells. The rest went to their vacation home in a friend's slightly heated garage for the winter. Well, today, i was out poking around and discovered a plant I had forgotten about in the window well. It's still alive! It hasn't been...

Malpractice lawsuits certainly do cause a small % of the high cost of medical malpractice insurance, but the major cause is bad financial investments by the insurance companies. If we really wanted to reduce the cost of medical malpractice...we'd outlaw neo-natal lawsuits. You will find the bulk...
