Wet Season Exploration The wet season indeed has moved upon Colorado. for 3 weeks, its been nothing but clouds and rain. This means two things.. advanced greenery and fungi. Here are some photos from around the greenbelt in my area. Many cotton woods and grasses in this area. Primarily...

I was going to repot a D.Filiformis, S x Dana's Delight and S x Yellow Jacket into a larger bog pot with three venus flytraps and two bog orchids, but I have to wonder if this can be done safely during summer months. I think I can do it without disturbing very many roots, but I just wanted to...

This guy grew from seed over the winter in my pygmy tray. Should I leave it there, or move it to a bog garden where it can get a proper dormancy? Also, how would I move it without damaging the pygmies?

We had a little rain yesterday so I decided to play around with the rain drops on the sarracenia flowers. [/url]IMG_2256x1 by Djoni C, on Flickr[/IMG] [/url]IMG_2256x2 by Djoni C, on Flickr[/IMG] [/url]IMG_2235x1 by Djoni C, on Flickr[/IMG] [/url]IMG_2235x2 by Djoni C, on Flickr[/IMG]...

For the past week its been raining like mad, then a few hours ago the temp dropped down to 30. I walked out to the bog and found that every single sarracenia had severe frost damage to the growing pitchers. Large splotches of dark green show where they were frozen. all growth tips have been...

I have seen some orchid interest in the past here at TF, so I thought I would post up some other surplus plants I have. These are mounted -- one on cork bark the other on persimmon wood -- and are well established. Unfortunately, I was a bit aggressive in moving them to higher light conditions...

Thought I'd share. I got this from Lowe's over the winter on sale and stuck it in a terrarium until I could get it in the bog. I saw this today. I know I've heard of this happening before, I was wondering how uncommon it is though? And if anyone has any experience with separating the traps...

Dear Friends of Meadowview: Tomorrow, May 5, is YOUR day to make a big difference in pitcher plant conservation by donating to Meadowview on the Community GIVE. The Community Give is a one day fund raising event for local non-profits in the Fredericksburg, VA region and is hosted by the...

Hey guys! After quitting the hobby a few years back, my withdrawals finally got the best of me! I finally got the yard in half-decent shape and decided rather than going back to growing nepenthes, I'd try my hand at Sarracenia. I always wanted to make a bog garden, and i figured now is as good...

Hello, Up for auction are two D. anglica plants that are just beginning to exit dormancy. These are from my personal outdoor bog and are native to southeast Alaska. I have been told that this variety is especially awesome looking. You will receive the two plants that are in the first photo...

This listing is for one Sarracenia minor specimen pendant. Please see pictures below! Every fall, I trim pitchers in my bog in preparation for mulching, and last year, I kept several to dry and press, and decided to get artsy with them. The specimen is one of them. It is protected under a glass...

Opening Bid: $25 This is not an auction for everyone. It is, however, perfect for the East Coast US CP grower who (a) has a greenhouse and (b) lives within a reasonable (leaving the definition of "reasonable" up to you) driving distance of the Washington DC metro area and (c) wants a mature...

Opening bid: $2 Up for bid is as much Lance-Leaf Violet as I can stuff into a USPS Priority Mail small box. For me, this is an invasive weed, that increases via stolons as well as seed in most of my Sarracenia pots. But as they say, one man's invasive weed is another man's pretty (invasive and...

Opening bid: $2 Up for bid is as much Lemon Bacopa as I can stuff into a USPS Priority Mail small box. This is a great acid wetland and pond plant. It can grow free-floating, as well as anchored. It does well completely submerged and with only its feet wet. It roots easily in water or wherever...

Opening bid: $2 Up for bid is as much Dwarf Horsetail as I can stuff into a USPS Priority Mail small box. This is a very hardy clone I grow as a companion to my CP. It was originally found in a marl bog environment but grows successfully in acid wetlands conditions as well. it is easy and...

Hello, Up for bid are two small P. vulgaris plants from my outdoor bog garden. They are just now emerging from dormancy and are putting out their first leaves of the season. These are truly temperate plants and I don't have any idea how they will do outside of this region's climate, but they...
