We may want to think about the impact of the name on the general public. I know that it is an awkward name, it isn't technically accurate and will lend ambiguity to those in the know, AND may even sound bad, but the mental image that the Pitcher Plant Conservancy (or some such variance) makes in...

There was a rash of these hoaxes arount the 1860's and later, and sadly caught mainstream attention because the general population was ignorant. Looking at the picture (and I'm an extreme amature) I see at least three different bones mounted as one. There is the main skull, which is mammian and...

It's a great relief to see that there is more support for this project than there initially appeared. I am in full support of the direction this is headed. I cannot offer extensive knowledge, but I can offer growing space at Seattle Central Community College. We currently have a meager...

I hope that I am not being a voice of negativity in this discussion. I support the idea of a project that will informally preserve these plants. I would be willing to support it formally if there appeared to be both the plauability and member support for it. It's a little early to decide if...

This is easily the best discussion I've seen on this forum yet. Talk about fired up... I'd like to take the chance to applaude bugweed for such a elegantly simple concept, and noah for giving us a working example that we can look at for inspiration, and Tamlin for just firing everyone up. I...

It would be useful to establish exactly which sub-species and varieties this project should include. I wouldn't think that it would be nessecary to include hybrids, unless there is an outstanding population that cannot be reproduced from the original varieties. A centralized database listing...

I'm always the one who doubts everything, it's the anarchist in me. I remember being outside of Anchorage and there were two sets of traintracks next to each other, of different sizes. Because I have no actual interest in traintracks I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and I'm...

So who in the world is buying all those Brittany albums? I think it's just a ClearChannel conspiracy, myself. I don't dig old fart music, but I think it's pretty reliable to say that the Beatles are one of the greatest bands ever. Props to Johny Cash, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Cat Stevens, Pat...

PS-in case you can't tell, I'm still trying to figure out posting images, so... jason

This is the plant box that I've been working on for weeks: And with the junk off my desk: With an internal electrical outlet, for future options, and vent fan on a toggle switch. The vents have plexiglass slides to close them. I'm planning of putting a light difuser over the lights...

I've only been growing for about a year and recently took over the CP collection at a community college. The college has an amazing greenhouse that is severely under funded and under manned. Because we lack funding and people to help and since there are so many other plants to worry about, none...

Let us not forget that americans STILL run the School of the Americas, as well as provide training for 160+ foriegn nations around the world in military, intelligence, and insurgency as well as groups that aren't even recognized nations. Many of the problems that are in Iraq were caused by...
