Where I work is like a small city. There are so many different buildings, I rarely work in the same place. Last week I worked in an office building. Tuesday was the first time I ever stepped foot inside this building. While working I noticed that the bathrooms were down a short hallway. Time...

Foul Political Statement by Wildlife Recently I was on a hike through the woods with the ever-curious Ollie Bean. Ollie is always "on the sniff" reading the woodland newspaper as we walk. He suddenly pulled hard off to the left to investigate something. I let him go and watched him...

While typing with the TV on next to me, I heard somebody on CSI Miami say "drosera"! Naturally, this caught my attention and I started watching. They claimed that the plant part stuck to a shoe was a "drosera villosa" and even showed a video of a fly getting ensnared. I assume that it was...

I assume from my reading here that it is mislabeled and that it is actually a nepenthes ventrata. It looks ok some pitchers are a little brown on top. My question is should i put it outside or not? I live in Maryland and its in the 70's in the day and high 40's to 50's at night. I could also...

I recently got a little bog bowl started as a means of trying to overwinter sarrs, since having them in pots just does not work for me. I've had 0% success that way. So anyways.. it hasn't rained in a while and I noticed that there is a bit of space between the peat and the sides of the bowl...

I finally bought one of the large N. mirandas that I've been eyeing (and secretly misting with fertilizer!) from a garden center. Nevermind that the moster mystery nep is probably a miranda as well. Anyway, the leaves have a distinct red hue on them. I assume that this has something to due...

Ok, I've been surfing eBay a lot lately and I've noticed some things that sellers do that are really annoying and frankly, they sometimes completely deter me from buying whatever item, if I had the intention of buying it in the first place. First off, my biggest pet peeve when it comes to eBay...

Well Finch, you asked where my usual fact filled side of the argument was, here it is. Please keep in mind i am aware that 67.5% of statistics are made up on the spot by someone with an agenda but i have done my best to accuratly portray the data. as much as possible ive tried to double check...

Why So Gloomy? By Richard S. Lindzen Newsweek International April 16, 2007 issue - Judging from the media in recent months, the debate over global warming is now over. There has been a net warming of the earth over the last century and a half, and our greenhouse gas emissions are contributing...

I am contemplating building my own display tanks for my carnivores and I was wondering if there has been any study regarding terratium materials. I assume that there have been but does anybody know if plexiglass sides for a plant-only terrarium offer up any problems? I'm thinking that the...

I know, I'm very bad for being impulsive lol. I just tried to place an order with Tony P. (waiting on a confirmation) and while I wait I was wondering if anyone has this plant, what it's like and more importantly has any pics!. There are hardly any pics, only a few at Bob's site. Is this hybrid...

i have been off the forums for a long time, i know i have a LOT of back reading and general catch up to do. i couldn't help myself, and picked up another plant from a local nursery. the tag reads (printed) " Sarracenia hybrid" and in pencil "gulf. GIANT x "couurtii" ". i would assume S. rubra...
