built

Yesterday I started salvaging blocks from the property adjacent to mine. Gathered 60 blocks before I called it quits. Today I started with the foundation to my GH expantion project. My 8x8 was just not going to hold my hl nepenthes as they grow. And not to mention I have my LL stuff outside...

This past weekend I went to a two day radio controlled glider contest in Visalia, CA. This sport actually gets really, really competitive, with many models going for $2,000 or more. I don't have any of those. What I was flying was a $60 kit built Gentle Lady and a discontinued kit built Spirit...

I became intrested in cps in 2008 and joined the Victorian carnivorous plant society in the December of that year. I had my collection totaly destroyed by the Black Saturday bushfires.:-( I have now built up my collection to over 100 plants of predominantly Sarracenia. I am thinking of getting a...

A friend in the sailing club took a trip up north earlier this month, and posted a short report on a sailing forum I frequent. The pictures are amazing, and I thought I'd share the thread with everyone here. Mike designed and built his boat by hand, and the dinghy too. Enjoy...

In my wanderings I came across an abandoned sand pit in southern NH. Years ago a construction company used to lease this land for hauling out sand for their projects. The area was basically a white pine woodland growing on top of pure fine sand surrounded by an immense beaver dam. The company...

It is coming along nicely and was built entirely off the generosity of collectors. I have a few free spots for some sarrs and would like to get some more ground dwelling temperate sundews; (namely rotundafolia) to fortify the ground defenses and this thing will be right. When the time comes I...

Got up this morning and found my entire collection of Heli smashed along the floor of my greenhouse! :( Some had been uprooted from their pots and several are without growing points now. I had suspected birds when I saw a couple of younger plants outside their pots near the open door of the...

Hello everyone. Today is a very exciting day in my HL Nepenthes chamber to say the least. My Nepenthes spathulata's flower stalk has finally been harvested after 6 months of patience where I waited and hoped that I would get a few fat live seeds from the only two pods that survived from the...

In June of 2011 I bought my first Cephalotus follicularis; the so-called "vigorous" clone from D. Hastings. I knew little about the care and cultivation of this mysterious species, but as is my way, I sought every snippet of information available to help me forge a plan for its care. This is the...

The title says it all! I traded with some of you last year and built an amazing collection of flytrap cultivars. I moved to Indiana in early August, left the plants on a private patio, and returned a week later to find that someone stole everything that was there. Fortunately, I was out of...

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...

Last year I built an arbor on the fence for my gourds. It worked out great. A view of the gourds and chickens by arbor by Thagirion3, on Flickr Here the gourds are growing up it. But this year I didn't want to grow gourds there. I want this to be a place to hang nepenthes and set up some...

I have always loved pumpkins since I was a little kid. I became an official cucurbit fan in 2005 after seeing long handled dipper gourds growing at Epcot's The Land. When I found out these could be turned into birdhouses and other things because of the hardshells the genus Lagenaria (the hard...

Last winter I changed out all the soil in the bog, put in a bottom layer of gravel and upturned buckets, and refilled it with a better, looser, sandier mix with orchid bark and chopped pine needles. The plants LOVED it. Then a couple months ago a raccoon got in and ****ed up the west end...

This post just became the "summary" of the build. All the pictures I posted here of the build are now in this first post. The original first post is quoted at the end of this one. And here's the quick video tour: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QBFh6kR59nk"...
