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...
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...
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...
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.
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...
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!

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...
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...
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.
Hi Folks,
If you're looking for an excuse to meet some of your Southern California neighbors, see some plants up close or add a few to your collection, the Los Angeles Carnivorous Plant Society is having a bi-monthly meeting this Saturday, April 15th at the Alhambra Chamber of Commerce at 11...
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...
