bogs

Check out: Pretty awesome, huh? The pitchers aren't too shabby either! Bidding on a division of this plant start at $500. ;) Actually this is the flower of Disa uniflora growing alongside my sarras in one of the bogs. This is the only (intended) non-CP plant growing in my terrariums.

Next Spring, 2010, I think my wife and I are finally going to build our ornamental pond in the backyard..we have it planned out, about 6x8 feet, and 2 feet deep. As part of the pond, I definitely want to try an outdoor CP bog! :banana2: something I have wanted to try for many years, but haven't...

Hello CP Friends, After lot's of film editing and hard work, I'm pleased to announce the premier of The Splinter Hill Experience! A special thanks goes to The Nature Conservancy and Keith Tassin for all of their accommodations and unbeatable hospitality. You can find this, as well as the...

Washington state was once COVERED in these bogs, EVERYWHERE.....true sphagnum bogs now days are rare, but are very beautiful....Everywhere, was sphagnum and D. rotundifolia....common or not, it was gorgeous. and definitely a trip i will remember for the rest of my life. We will start this off...

Alaskan sphagnum bog Great Sundew (drosera anglica) Round-Leaf Sundew (drosera rotundifolia) Bladderwort (utricularia minor?) We happened to be there right at the start of rough-skinned newt breeding season. Here's the pond This is just a cool fungus formation I don't know if this is...

Karnivoren: Die Welt der Fleischfressenden Pflanzen (Carnivores: The World of Meat-Eating Plants) by Thomas Carow is perhaps the most stunning book of images dedicated to carnivorous plants in print; and I don't doubt that Carow had to remove his fair share of leeches in the process, and take...

It's definitely the season for flowers! Looking at my outside bogs I have 6 Dionaea flowers coming up. I know that cultivars such as B-52 can only be maintained through division and cannot be propagated through seeds. But what about cultivars such as the Akai Ryu and the cup shape traps? Can...

I thought it might be fun of focusing on the bogs in general, do a photo montage of a single cross or species. I'll start by featuring S. oreophila x minor. You may see this cultivar registered soon:

Okay folks spring is in the air the plants are growing in the bogs, my greenhouse needs cleaned out and I and looking for multiple plant trades So here is a sample of what I have and I may have more as I start to divide more Sarr. Junebug Sarr. alata "red Throat" Sarr. purp heterophylla Sarr...

Hey guys. Here's an update on my bogs. This was the coldest winter that NC has experienced in awhile. Most nights the temperatures were below freezing. I never did get around to mulching the bogs to help them against the weather. It's really looking like they didn't need it anyway. Bog...

I have to do some major re-potting this spring in both of my mini bogs. I will wind up dividing several sars, and I will put in a random sampling of 5 divisions of mature sarracenia. Amoung the possibilities are flava, flava heavily veined, alata, rubra, purpurea (vensoa), x 'Doodle Bug' and x...

Hello Friends, It was very recently brought to my attention by a fellow ICPS Member in Port Charolotte, Fl., that a crucial area in the Florida Panhandle is being compromised... Areas in Bay and Walton counties are being destroyed due to road widening projects. I'm researching this current...

I found this article while surfing, and I found it fascinating and I think you will too. This is a plant we don't hear much about. The article itself has pictures of both the plant and its bug. http://www.kew.org/msbp/plantstories/Roridula_dentata.htm

I was at the UNC-Charlotte greenhouse Monday. Not A Number had asked me to take some pictures of Dr. Mellichamp's hybrids, so I thought I'd oblige. A couple problems: First, they're all still coming out of dormancy, so John - the nice man who was showing me around and chatting while he worked -...

Hey everyone, I've been trying to expand my VFT collection, with some trades and great generosity i've managed to get my hands on some guys that I thought I'd share with you guys... last year I had a planter outside with my outdoor bogs that had 25 or so VFT's when it just so happened the...

I got this at Lowe's today. It's just labeled "Drosera," but it looks to be adelae to my newb eye. All their CPs were on a bottom shelf in the indoor room of the garden center, getting NO light at all, let alone sunlight. They had a few "red pitcher" plants and smaller Drosera. They all looked...

Hello Friends, First off, Happy Spring (well soon..that is) I'd like to start off by thanking everyone who donated to our Conservational efforts last year. We couldn't have achieved our goals without you, our cherished Members! The ICPS is going to start off 2009 with a bang, as promised. Our...

Well, in late June, i will be paying a visit to my father in Jacksonville, FL. i recall seeing some sarras there when i was younger, im sure many of the bogs have been developed over, but was wondering if anyone knew any locations where i may be able to see some sarras? i will obviously go on a...

Hi all - I'm new to the forum (see my introduction today in the intro thread), but a fairly experienced CP grower - mostly Sarracenia. I built a 12' x 4' x 2' deep outdoor bog this past spring just south of Pittsburgh PA, and it is currently experiencing its first PA winter under a layer of...

Sarracenia x catesbaei for SASE (4) packets (CLOSED) I just harvested some more Catesbaei (flava x purpurea) seeds from my bogs. I have four packets available for SASE. If you've already gotten something from me, please give others a chance. Regards, -Brokken-
