bog

I want to start a big planter for my CP's... I live in zone6b... I want to make a container that I will be able to move... We may be selling this house within the next year or so... I want to be able to take them with me, where ever I move... I would love some ideas... I also need to know how...

From the bog today I have: S. alata x minor - 2 divisions S. Dana’s Delight - 5 divisions S. 'Scarlet Belle' - 1 small plant, a division from a couple years ago. These divisions are from mature flowering plants that are currently dormant Rules: 1. US only please. 2. Please read my whole...

I started the project of redoing my big bog, which means I have to take all the plants out of it. Clearing the bog will take several days to complete, so this is the first of ? sarr division giveaways I will be posting. Today I have 4 S. "Dana’s Delight" divisions from a mature flowering plant...

Went with the UF Wetlands Club to a local bog in honor of World Wetlands Day, which is tomorrow. The water level was pretty high, but still plenty of S. minor, Sphagnum and Utrics, and we even spotted a few D. intermedia that were floating around.

I've decided to consolidate all my photos of wild carnivorous plants and other associated flora into 1 thread. So far, I've visited bogs from Maine to Florida, I'm hoping to add a West Coast trip this summer. This 1st bog, an Atlantic White Cedar Bog is almost within Boston city limits. It...

Hello all, I have decided to post some pics of some wild CP's after being urged by some other member, hope you enjoy Also, most of these pics are taken with my cellphone, and it hates having it's pictures turned over to the internet, so a few of them aren't the highest quality, sorry about that...

As some here know, other than in my bog I never plant any plants not native to my area (SE PA) in the ground, unless it's something I like to eat. The removal of non natives planted by previous owners has been an ongoing project. I think this one will be the last to go, unless I can find a...

Made a trip back into my local bog this morning... 25 degrees today and the sun was out.... Oh and I was off work.....Beautiful day in the bog.. All The tamarack trees are bare now..

Hello everyone, My name is Jeff. In college, CP's were my hobby. I still have a couple of Asian pitcher plants left on my window sill that are going great. But I left the rest of my collection to a friend after school. I think my last post on this forum was 2005! Now I am a homeowner and...

Hello everyone ! I think some of you may already know me from the CPUK foum where i've been a member now for almost 2 years, but for those of you who don't.... I got into carnivorous plants quite by accident when i went to collect some free plant pots offered in an advert, and i also came away...

October pics taken before winter weather shut everything down. A week of overnight temps below freezing has sent all but the hardiest into hibernation. [/url]IMG_0887x1 by Djoni C, on Flickr[/IMG] [/url]IMG_0732x1 by Djoni C, on Flickr[/IMG] [/url]IMG_0794x1 by Djoni C, on Flickr[/IMG]...

Last year I started a bog out of several containers and pool liner. Because of surrounding normal garden limy soil and possible contamination of the bog through heavy rain it is constructed now above normal level. That’s what it looked like today. And that far at the beginning. just to...

Hello all I live in NE Florida where I have a bunch of native CPs already. I've collected some that are growing on my land as well as recently purchased a few Sarrs to round out my collection of native Florida species. I'm wanting to pot them up so I can have them in my back yard to enjoy...

So theoretically, given the right soil, one could potentially turn a persistently wet part of their yard into a bog by amending copious amounts of peat and planting a thick top dressing of sphagnum. Right? Or am I (probably) missing something.

I am wanting to start on a bog this year. I am planning to but down visqueen as a liner. But my concerns are gophers tunneling through the liner. Living in oklahoma, gophers are a gaurntee in the yard. I was wondering if anyone has had trouble with gophers getting into their bog liners...

This will likely be my last giveaway of the season. I have available 3 portions of seed from a native temperate bog plant that makes a wonderful companion to Sarrs. It's a Lysimachia species which I got as a hitchhiker from Meadowview a few years back. Could be L. lanceolata. Gets 3' tall with...

The title says it all. Living way down south with no rain to speak of and really hot summers I've been trying for a few years to grow Sarrs. Well this year I've had my first success. I took a 18"ish tall trash can and drilled drainage holes about 6" up all around the trash can then filed it...

So a bout 2 months ago the misses and i got our son a little bog garden for the yard and i put my king henry vft in it for him and heres how it looks now.
