bogs

Hey all! I have heard a lot of great things about this forum so I decided to come pop in and say hello. My name is Matt and I live in Buffalo, NY. Along with my girlfriend, I run our local carnivorous plant club. I am getting my masters in botany and also run my own plant blog on the side. I...

Hello everyone. While in Maui, I was able to get ahold of an opportunity to climb up the west Maui mountains while traversing through the Pu'u Kukui Watershed Preserve. The area is the only known place on Maui where sphagnum exists in the large number of bogs that are shrouded in clouds for...

So I'm not sure if anyone here would be interested in these Algae and coral I have from my marine tank but I figured it was worth seeing if any of my extras would be of interest to trade for someone else's extras. I could go for something new :) I have cheatomorpha and caulerpa algae if anyone...

Hi all of you American readers (and growers ;-) Does anyone know if Drosera linearis, originally from Michigan State, is in cultivation? I've been trying to find it for a very long time, and so far have not succeeded. This is the first thread I am writing on this forum, and maybe it will help...

I'm looking to add some Pogonia ophioglossioides to the bogs if anyone has some to spare. I can trade for cp's or other bog/temperate orchids. Thanks.

Hello everyone, Sorry I haven't been very active on the forums lately. I made this poster in school for a contest from Adobe. They call it "Adobe Youth Voices". The idea is to make a poster, video, poem, song, etc. of something that matters to you. I chose environmental destruction. By...

I was just wondering becuase my grandparents own probuially 20-30 acers in virgina and they told me they had a few spagnum bogs there. I was thinking there might be cps their and was wondering if i could legally take a few?

In a few months, I will be moving to upstate New York (Ithaca/Finger Lakes area, USDA zone 4b/5a). I've never lived in a cold climate before, and I am excited to try out some new temperate varieties that I was previously unable to grow. One group of plants I am interested in is...

Hey everybody, this is sort of an opinion question but a pitcher plant's life may be on the line here.....so I greatly appreciate the feedback! I currently have two S. purp ssp. venosa plants that are wondering what my plans are for dealing with an Iowa winter. They are potted in 10+ gal...

Hi, I'm looking for any of the red clones.....Crimson Sawtooth, Clayton's Red Sunset, Holland Red, Green Dragon, Pink Venus, Bohemian Garnet, Maroon Monster, Petite Dragon, Royal Red, Red Piranha........or any I left out. I'd like to get 5 to 10 plants to add some color to the bogs. Thanks.

I am making a road trip from Ann Arbor, Michigan to Montreal, Canada today. I was wondering if any of you knew about good carnivorous plant sites that I might be able to stop by and check out! I would love to see some! Here is a map of my trip if it helps! Will

just wondering how everyone elses cps are doing in all this heat and drought? i've been working 14 hour days so don't always get to check to bogs. finally had a day off about 10 days ago and was really disappointed with what i saw when i got to investigate. lost several vft's which i'm hoping...

I will be traveling to Virginia and Tennessee in a bit. Right along the border of the two, specifically. Can't do a long drive into the middle of either states, as I'd like to not waste a bunch of time looking for a bog. Not necessarily a bog, but just somewhere where I could look at sarrs...

Okay folks, picture time in the bogs. My fav rubras, chilling out and producing loads of blooms this year leuco hurricane creek from Kula, batch one, all white leuco hurricane creek from Kula, batch two..Love that red fringe Top view of a flava v. ornata Dixe lace, I'm...

As some of you know, I pretty much only grow Sarracenia in outside in-ground bogs. I decided to divide all of my plants down to a manageable size and put in new peat. I finally got one bog done before I ran out of time and peat. This is my leucophylla and purpurea bed. [/URL][/IMG]...

At the moment i am feeling extremly ANGRY towards a certain Eastern Tiger Swallowtail caterpillar. in one of my barrel bogs i have been growing some Sarracenia flava v, ornata. I have nurtured these plants for three years hoping to finally obtain some seed this year to distribute to other...

Hey everyone. I finally got a chance to take some more pictures today. I had started a thread in the Sarr section, but decided to make a new one for these in this section. I'll update this one as my bogs continue to wake up. Going to start off with some more Sarr flower pictures taken this...

Here are some flower pictures I've taken around the bogs over the last few days. Enjoy!

The last couple of weeks I have noticed the honey bees are really working my bog pots. They aren't paying any attention to the plants, but are getting "something" from the surface of the media. Some pots have moss, others don't. I can't believe they are just after the moisture, they can get...
