bogs

Finally had a chance to take stock of the bogs..first chance since uncovering them a couple of weeks ago. :boogie: EVERY flava and rubra sarr I have are putting up flowers :boogie: The Jonesii is pushing up 2 obvious new growth points ??? The minors don't look too happy..no new growth...

I've seen some great examples of bogs -- raised, circulating, etc. I'm looking to build (or have built) something a little different: I prefer to grow my outdoor (greenhouse in the winter) CP in pots, despite all of the advice to the contrary from experienced friends. I don't have a good reason...

As I have been uncovering the bogs the Greenies have been making a wonderful show. here is a taste of them. The taller green sarrs are not picture worthy yet. purpurea ssp. purpurea f. heterophylla psittacina f. heterophylla Drosera filiformis 'New Jersey'

I ordered some sarracenia and dionaea rhizomes and want to put them in portable bogs. I want to use the plastic pots that look like facsimiles of terra cotta pots. I have peat moss and perlite ready. The pots are 7 inches deep, so do I fill the bottom 2-3 inches with sand and top the rest with...

I was on vacation in the UK back in August and I went to visit Kew Gardens: The temperate house: The palm house: Chilean wine palm, the largest indoor plant in the world: Some kind of flower: Cyclamen: Passiflora sp: Lithops: Waterlily flower: Waterlily flower: Giant...

S. leucophylla comes in many different shapes, forms, and sizes. They're also accompanied by many different insects, some beautiful, and others that eat you alive! I've organized some photos to display the various forms of S. leucophylla observed in the wild, and near the end of the photo set...

Hello guys. I spring next year i would like to make a bog for some of my hardy sarracenia's. I have read a few posts about growers using planters without drainage holes and some posts with them. If it helps these are the plants to be planted. Sarracenia alata x flava maxima Sarracenia catesbaei...

Here I was last night enjoying my dinner, listening to the wind and the rain, all the while snug and dry and chatting with my TF peeps. When suddenly, out of no where it happens :ohno: NO POWER:censor: Last hurricane/tropical storm we were without power for four days....... My son who lives on...

Hi Folks: We just completed our third summer of the Meadowview intern program. Interns Graham Hunt and Richard Curzon did a fantastic job and I really hated to see them leave and return to school. Richard got college credit for his internship through Brigham Young University where he is...

Morning Everyone I have heard that there are a few darlingtonia bogs that come as far inland as Lake Tahoe, and I was wondering if anyone knows where some bogs might be near Tahoe. I am on vacation and would love to see darlingtonia in their habitat, especially this far inland! Lance

I've had an inch for a while now to try and photograph our native Washington CPs... I found a Department of Ecology website that lists all public wetlands in Wa, and one of them even said "contains several species of carnivorous plant".. So finally we had a free weekend so off we went. The area...

Hi there everyone. I have been cleaning out the bog today and made devisions and had auto devisions in the bog, so I have a whole SLEW of plants to trade away. I don't have the pots not the patiences to pot this many plants up. This thread will consist of the two Sarrs I have already...

Hi all, I see threads about circulating bogs and I see threads about Maxsea 16-16-16 fertilizer, but no threads about using Maxsea in a circulating bog. I visited Mr. D'Amato a few weeks back and he recommended Maxsea 16-16-16. His own mixing directions call for dissolving 3/4 tsp into a gallon...

Hello folks. Just curious for a long lasting medium for my nepenthes. My current mix I highly peat and I think it might be the reason for the decline of my treasured truncata. It is a rather large plant and I have had it potted in the same huge pot for about 3 or more years now. I thought it was...

The pitcher plants in this pot are up for auction. It is the pot with the flowers directly next to the thread-leaf sundew. These are from divisions back in winter. Once these plants are established for me they become robust and vigorous. It contains a S. x chelsonii and a hybrid I call S...

Hi guys, In years past, I have cleaned out my bog and made a couple of auction posts on the splittings. This year, I'm going to throw everything in ONE box (and I will label stuff as best I can - but there are some things where the tags have broken, gotten lost, or never were...so you will get...

Hi All I used to be on these boards a long time ago, By chance i stumbled on them again.! I still grow these wonderful plants at home. I have a few bogs and and a pond with pitcher plants and sundews around it and Neps and cephs in the house on window sills. I hope to be around for a wile and...

Hi Folks: We have our second graduate student (MS) working on the hydrology of pitcher plant bogs at the Joseph Pines Preserve. He is documenting how our restoration efforts, through hardwood removal, are increasing groundwater levels in our rainwater fed sand seepage bogs. Surprisingly, this...

Well, this spring... I have a lot of pest/insect damage... Mostly earwigs... This is their damage :( <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/billypwnedyou/5586800377/" title="Bug damage 1 by billychendra, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5221/5586800377_49036141ba.jpg"...

Here are the 2 front bogs desperately waiting for spring. I've already done a ton of trimming, the bogs are PACKED with Sarracenia. I'll add more pics monthly as the season continues. <a href="http://s1109.photobucket.com/albums/h434/Nepenthes138/?action=view&current=random006.jpg"...
