You certainly have the golden touch when it comes to your plants and their care.

Just wondering if anyone else has read the latest National Geographic magazine? There is an article about carnivorous plants. The pictures were great and the article was about how carnivorous plants work (i.e. insect consumption, leaf specialization, etc.). Touched on venus fly trap poaching...

Sounds like a tough situation. I had neighbors who were loud alcoholics and dealt drugs when I lived in vermont. The neighborhood wasn't exactly good either, but I sort of understand where you are coming from when you mention the police won't do much for you / word gets around. Do what you need...

Repot your infected plants too. I just had some mealy bugs on a few orchids so I can some what relate....pests just find a way i guess. SK is right about the rubbing alcohol for scale, id try that in addition to spraying with neem. Horticultural oil/ soap works on scale and mites too, if the...

Scot you really can't talk about MA politics as you have yet to answer ANY questions about the political climate currently within the state of Massachusetts. Have you lived in the state of Massachusetts for the last 10 or more years to fully understand what was important to voters? Stop...

I wish my Izumiae x tm looked that good, it seems more red than dark purple. Great looking plants.

Sweet pict's sirkirstoff....seems your plants like your conditions. Do you grow them out in your green house in the mild weather and move them in once it gets cold? Either way well grown plants. Hows your seed grown hamata doing?

Your ill informed arguments about Scott Brown and above all Massachusetts are almost comical. Surly with your wealth of knowledge about liberal MA, you would have realized Mitt Romney won MA in the primary presidential election....you have yet to answer ANY of my questions about MA politics you...

"I never said you were a polysci major... I was simply saying with the right knowledge base ANYONE can fully understand and comprehend what is going on politically in the mysterious state of MA. As to your point about the senate seat... I am referring to the state as a whole being reliably...

I was a Sociology major not a Poly Sci major...in fact I didn't take 1 poly sci course. As for CNN I never watch it, but I did take a course on the sociology of News and how EACH station distorts the truth in favor of their own agenda. In fact I usually tune out new stations except the local...

"I don't buy the whole argument that out of staters don't have access to the same information you do about politics. You don't have an amazing revelation reserved only for the state of MA." You may have access to information about where Scott Brown stands on hot issues like gov't spending, war...

what do you out of staters know about MA politics? Brown didn't win because the people of Massachusetts don't believe in Obama, and don't want health care reform. Brown won this election because he had a better campaign than Martha did. He won by 5 % of the vote, not an overwhelming win. He...

blokeman, I am now on round 2 of shots....I used to take them when I was much younger, although I never really felt they completely worked although they did help me out. I am doing shots again, been doing them since last spring. As of this point I still take my med's + shots, and still find a...

So true blokeman.....it was 15 degrees april weekend last time I was up there in the spring, although I feel its really the wind in Montreal that makes it feel much colder (Burlington VT isn't much warmer than Montreal). Its the January thaw in MA, mid to upper 30's this week....can't wait...

I'm in the same boat as you scottychaos.....probably march or april till the temperate cp's come out of dormancy. Kinda why I like having tropical cp's to help with the winter blues....
