    A pretty cunning hat, dontcha think? How crafty are you?

    Man wears a hat like that, you know he's not afraid of anything. I've owned one myself for a while. Nice job!

    A CP Video Clip That You've Probably Never Seen

    So I finally found this movie I've been wanting to see for years called The Hellstrom Chronicle. It's a quasi-documentary about insects, and how formidable they are compared to us humans. A great, creepy soundtrack and quite spooky to view. Too bad it's impossible to find legitimately...

    Wasp World (lots and lots of photos)

    The other day I was admiring my Sarrs with the neighbors, and noticed a bee was head first and struggling down there. One of them went "Awww, poor bee! You know they're disappearing?" So I stuck a piece of straw down there for it to grab on to and rescued it. Felt like a hero. ;) My Sarrs...

    Vermont Bog Field Report (with Pics!)

    Hi Folks, Just got back from a nice trip to Vermont and Massachusetts for a family reunion, and was able to visit one bog that was still accessible without hip waders, no thanks to the recent rain.  The bigger bog I really wanted to visit, Chickering Bog, was a mile up a barely marked, or...

    SARRACENIA PHOTO THREAD

    Here's a Sarr. hybrid whose name I wrote down when it was given to me and promptly lost as soon as I got it home.  Looks like it has some leucophylla in it, duh. Pretty, though.

    almost dry amp pitcher

    Actually slugs are not insects at all, alive or dead. ;) They do eat plants though, so I don't like them anywhere near mine.

    D. spatulata & D. capensis

    Got 'em today! Thanks! One complaint: you are guilty of false advertising. There were *way* more than 5 capensis in that baggie!

    flytrap seperation how to?

    One one hand, you might want to leave them be for this year. If they are tiny as you say, they are a few years away from adulthood, and probably won't grow dramatically larger this year. The best time to repot VFT's is early spring as they are coming out of dormancy. On the other hand, if you...

    D. spatulata & D. capensis

    Oooh ooOOOooo! These sound like just what I need for my bog! If there are any left, I'd love a sampler pack, if possible. Otherwise, whatever capensis you have left would be awesome. Thanks! -N

    Recs. for Bog in Zone 9 (Mediterranean)

    Hi Folks, My D. adelae are not too happy in my new bog garden here in the West Side of Los Angeles. Too much light seems to be the issue, as they appear dry. This can't be, as I gotsta have some Drosera in there. Anyway, what Drosera have you successfully grown outside year-round in conditions...

    Anyone Clog Their Sink with Medium?

    LOL You guys are killin' me! I'm gonna have to switch from medium to small from now on...

    Anyone Clog Their Sink with Medium?

    Hi Folks, Been struggling with a slow draining sink for the last week or so. Looks like the odd pot I've washed out over time has caught up with me. Tried Liquid Plumr (regular strength), a plunger and removing the trap. Before I bust out the snake and its inherent contortions, has anyone used...

    Nepenthes x 'Judith Finn'

    Funny you should mention it.  I just took this picture yesterday in super advance planning of a web page. Sits in a SE facing kitchen window and under fluorescents until 10 PM or so. I really dig the color; not too flashy, like a delicately glazed ceramic vase.

    It's Time for Everybody's Favorite Game:

    Hi Folks, Finally after four months of light adding, humidity tweaking, "soil" mixing and prayer, my "highland hybrid" has produced a pitcher that hasn't shriveled up!  Whoopie!  Now comes the fun part: finding out what ingredients went in to creating this plant. Any takers? Happy holidays...
