My family has gone fishing at three sites in mid-northern Ontario for decades. I have noticed over the past several years a PROFOUND evolution of some of the sphagnum bogs. Old fishing pics until several years ago show mats of sphagnum covered with S. purps and D. rotundifolias. We started...

So...my family decided to change plans at the last second. instead of NW WI we're headed through the SW to the Green Bay area. i figured we could hit a peat bog in the central area of WI. I read a site that described 4 peat bog areas mainly in the central to central-east part of WI but found no...

my family is planning to visit northern wisconsin in about 2 or so weeks. i know there are plenty of bogs in northern wisconsin, but can someone tell me an exact name or location of one of them? Also, if anyone lives in northern wisconsin and has a collection to show off, that might be cool too...

I recently purchased a 65 gallon rain barrel for my plants. It serves my bogs great. See below: http://www.rainwatersolutions.com/rainbarrels.html Anyone else using these? You can purchase them in just about any City in NC now and probably U.S. wide. I think their more common overseas...

are driving me nuts. they are in everything and everywhere. My bogs, my neps... Grr.... I pretty much can't go out back now to enjoy my plants because I get swarmed. I put some dunks in all the open nep pitchers out there to see if that helps, but really at this point I'm at a loss...

Which type of bog/minibog do you prefer: Theme bogs with just one species or genus of plants (All Venus Flytraps/All Pitcher Plants/or all Sundews), or variety bogs with many different varities? I'm asking this because I'm going to be drastically changing my minibog this winter (new and larger...

Hi, Not sure this belongs in this section, but I would like to talk a little about habitat. We've all read that American CPs grow mostly in cedar swamps, sphagnous bogs and wet savannahs where the water is usually acidic and sterile, with the exception of the slightly basic marl fens. Having...

Thought I would post a few of some plants looking decent this spring. S. 'Blackened Redfish', S. 'Daniel Rudd' S. x formosa S. minor 'okee giant' x psitticina S. leuco x rubra ssp. wherryi? You tell me. One of my newest bogs S. oreophila x mooreii-the rest of the pitchers...

Greetings All! I am not new to Carnivorous Plants, but have been out of the hobby for some time. As a kid back in the late 60's I ordered some Venus Fly Trap bulbs from some ad in a magazine. They grew in our kitchen window in a little glass dish for a number of years, and I was hooked...

Does anyone use and outdoor RO unit for greenhouses/bog gardens. I'm interested in purchasing an RO unit for my outdoor/indoor plants. I'm looking for any kind of RO Unit that will attach to my outdoor spicket. Any ideas? I've used tap (90 to 100ppm) on my CPs for a long time with no problem...

Hi, I've been building bogs for years raised, buried, half/half. Does anyone know a cheaper alternative to pond liner that you buy at lowes or home depot. Pond liner works great and last for years however I'm tired of paying for it. I'm looking for ideas concerning a cheaper alternative that...

Hello folks, I have some news that may be of interest to many here. This is a long posting, so for the attention-deficit crowd, here are the main points: <li>The historic Albion, California bog is a globally important place;</li> <li>CPers have been introducing plants against the wishes of...
