bogs

This weekend we visited an Atlantic white cedar bog in Southern NH. This location sits in a depression right smack in the middle of suburbia. The area is under threat of disappearing due to the encroaching red maples and grey birches that are invading the bog at an alarming rate. The trees have...

Took me a few tries to track down local bogs. Found many swamps the first few times. Eventually, I found a bog bordering a small lake (more like a pond, in my opinion) and went for a short walk: It was really too easy - the boardwalk goes straight up to the bog, and Sarracenias were visible...

Today the NECPS got together in western Massachusetts to visit a few of the local bogs. We toured 3 different sites in the region and saw some amazing plants. Site #1. While the CP's we saw at this site were impressive, the orchids stole the show today. The general habitat where all the...

Today a few of the NECPS members took a trip to a few bogs on the Cape. We visited 3 different locations, all somewhat close to each other yet all ecologically different. Site # 1 The entrance road and habitats where we found the plants . A fairly dry site, very unique among New England bog...

These plants are seed grown from parent stock collected at White's Bog NJ. I'm offering a clump of approx. 5 - 7 seedlings of the year. I pay shipping to the US only. I'll get a pic up later. Giveaway is for Green members only. In the interest of full disclosure, the parent stock was collected...

I am going to build a new greenhouse later this year as I have run out of room and I want to increase my water pressure. The old one is rectangle, about 5M long/ 2.8M wide and 2.8M tall, I use misters that run off the house on timers, the house water is from a bore that feeds to a tank then...

Hey Guys! I don't post very often, but have enjoyed reading what everyone has learned about cps through the forums. As Dragoness has just demonstrated...sarracenia can be pretty tough. Many other forum members here have also shown off their bogs in areas normally too cold for most cps (which I'd...

Hey Guys, So I made a trip to summerton bog in south central Wisconsin. I was wondering if anyone has ever visited any bogs in Wisconsin and found any cps. There wasn't much there so I didn't take any pictures, unless a bunch of pics of sphagnum would've been interesting. I can't imagine many...

I have heard somewhere that some cp's die in certain mosses, I assume because of the moss degrading and causing spikes in certain chemicals or something. I dont know because I can't find info on it anywhere but common sense tells me that this problem is most likely more common in bog plants...

I'll be in Florida from April 20th to April 25th. I'd love to check out some bogs while I'm down there and was wondering if anyone in the area would be available to show me around these places.

Hey Everyone, I've started an bit of an experiment, albeit one that lacks precise scientific rigor. A month ago I came across the CPN sample that talks about creating a potting mix that is 1:1:1 Seramis:Lava Gravel:Lecaton. Having read a lot about the destruction of CP habitats, I decided to...

I'm a graduate student at Cornell University, and I have heard from school faculty and fellow students that there are several areas on and immediately adjacent to campus where Drosera rotundifolia, Sarracenia purpurea v. purpurea, and Pinguicula vulgaris populations are present. I live right...

My lab is considering doing some research on carbon and nitrogen cycling dynamics in Sphganum peatlands! Somewhat more specifically, as a lab component we're looking to cultivate Sphagnum (from some Wisconsin field sites) in the lab using labeled nitrogen (15N labeled ammonium and nitrate) and...

I'm not much of much of an ebay user, but are plants like these being harvested from bogs? http://www.ebay.com/itm/rare-seven-year-old-sarrcenia-purpurea-with-free-pitcher-plant-tincture-/190914583997?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c73655dbd I'm not trying to accuse the seller, I'm just...

I spent a wonderful afternoon exploring a couple of the local bogs here in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with a fellow UK CP grower. Here's a few pictures I took: We saw mostly D. rotundifolia: This was one of the few D. anglica we seen. They had a preference to grow directly on the peat...

I have up for trade two nep vines and three cuttings. The cuttings will be made from the "main" stem, close to the media level. I am looking for nep cuttings, HL to LL but no ultras. I am primarily interested in species that will not get too large. I will also consider dews, pings and utrics...

Hey all! I'm in cape cod on vacation and am wondering if any of you know of any bogs i can visit while i'm here? Any help is appreciated! Thanks guys! Steven

Hey everyone: I was wondering if any of you have been to Maine and found D. linearis or D. angelica. Based on my research, both species are, somewhat, plentiful in Minnesota, at least, most of the pictures of both species growing in the wild from the lower 48 come from Minnesota, but I haven't...

My greenhouse needs a new entrance, the current one is rather ugly. This picture is a bit old, there are now 2 3'x20' raised beds along the wall to the right for berry bushes, and an L shaped trellis around the right and back of the greenhouse with grapes to shield it from the afternoon sun, and...
