bog

Hey folks. After doing lots of reading I've decided to try my hand first at an outdoor container bog. As I've mentioned in previous posts I'm in Texas, zone 9, near Houston. I plan to do mostly sarracenia with a couple VFT, sundews, bladderwort, and even a cobra lily if one would survive for...

I am offering this sarracenia division. It came to me labeled only as "sarracenia species" so I really have no clue what it is. It did flower this spring (pics included below) and the division you are getting ships with whatever flower stalks are attached. I never bagged or Covered the flowers...

This year I had quite a few drosera filiformis seedlings pop up in my bog, as volunteers. I keep spotting more every couple days. They are growing in a Michigan zone 5 bog outdoors year round, with heavy mulching and cover during the winters. This giveaway is open to all members who have...

Hi all, I have a couple companion plants in my temperate bog that went to seed and could use a thinning. Thought I'd offer some up to members here for postage if there is interest. The two most interesting are Xyris (Yellow-eyed grass) species and then a couple Eleocharis. I'm not sure of...

Hey folks. I'm very new around here. This is my first attempt at CP. I've made the classic hobbyist mistake that I've scolded so many fellow reefers for doing, which is buying livestock before you research. Luckily I didn't mess up too bad I recently picked up a S. Purpurea, and a VFT from...

Hello there. This forum appears to be a great resource. I am COMPLETELY new to this hobby with zero experience with bog plants and carnivorous plants of any kind. I am, however, an avid hobbyist in the aquarium world for many years and seasoned forum user. Wanted to drop by and say hello...

I was watering the bog today and look what I found. If I am not mistaken, this is a Drosophyllum sprout! I swear this is not a purposeful sowing, must have been a seed that stuck to my hand when I was collecting droso seed a while back from a droso pot that is located close to the bog. The big...

I spent this weekend visiting different CP sites throughout New England. The first stop was a failed attempt to see Pinguicula vulgaris in New Hampshire with Natch. The site is at the top of a large talus slope. We were able to get about 3/4 of the way up but then got stuck at a thick treeline...

Doing a bit of cleaning up and I have a few things to offer up to the community.This giveaway will consist of at least the following: A Drosera filiformis flower spike full of mature seed pods A Drosera rotundifolia flower spike, same story. 3 assorted hybrid Sarracenia seedling created by our...

I have been neglecting my Sarracenia Clusters of photos, time for a night excursion. (Sorry pictures suck. IT was really dark with a bad flashlight.) I thought the greenhouse would be the best location for my bog plants, But its not so. A good amount of light is lacking, so next season im...

Howdy, y'all! Starting a series of pots in the front yard. These will be fully exposed to the harsh Texas sun and relatively low humidity (generally around 30%-40%). My main purpose for this thread is to hopefully clear up any doubts that these plants can be grown in harsh conditions such as...

Thought it was time to post recent pics of my outdoor CPs. The renovated bog is looking good and everything seems to be happy in their new digs. [/url]Bog June 2015 1 by Djoni C, on Flickr[/IMG] [/url]Bog June 2015 2 by Djoni C, on Flickr[/IMG] [/url]Bog June 2015 3 by Djoni C, on...

Bog ants all over VFT. I have see them flood sarracenia pitchers, but this is a first for me on the VFT, haha. https://flic.kr/p/uUkjUe

I decided to get a Darlingtonia californica today at the SF Botanical Garden (aka Strybing Arboretum), partly was because they were selling really nice plants at a good price. A friend who volunteers at SFBG also told me that when he bought one he was told to avoid too much sun (he lives in...

Hey everyone! Im a relatively new CP grower, i got my first plant 2 years ago and have been slowly adding to the collection via this amazing website and some other sources. But im having an issue with my pitcher plants, specifically my leucophylla. I dont remember seeing this last year(when I...

OK here's Fred with another wort. I have a couple of quarter trays with this fern in and can see immediately that it is super easy to identify in the wild. That's once you've knelt down on mud and decided that the mass of green growth isn't grass or reed and your high power loupe hasn't steamed...

Like the title says, I'm looking for some Lycopodium inundatum for the bogs. I had a small amount of it several years ago but I think I accidentally gave it away with some Sarracenia. I have lots to trade if anyone has any available. Thanks.

I'm going to be moving my Grass Pink and Egret Flower to a bog garden within the next week, and I can't help but notice that they seem to have been put a bit close to the surface.(I know for sure the grass pink was.) Grass pink. The first leaves look to be forming on top of the spike. Egret...

Okay, I try, I really do, to keep my plants labeled. But somehow in moving some plants to the new bog last year I must have lost one. This little guy, not many pitchers and only one flower is among the rubra collection. The sarrs I know are there are jonesii, jonesii f. heterophylla...

I'm planning on starting a bog garden for carnivorous plants (mostly Sarracenias) in my yard but I had a few questions before I set it up and start buying plants. Several tutorials I found said to perforate the liner at the bottom and several said to leave it intact. Some tutorials also said to...
