I snapped some pics of one of my Heli's this am & made three different crops of the pic. Usually the crop is fairly obvious but with this pic, I have liked each of the three at different times. I am curious to hear some opinions, other possible crops or possibly other pics that have been...

Well my desires have slightly busted my budget restraints... I've narrowed my choices down to these two macro lenses. Each option seems very popular and both are within $30USD of each other. To be honest, I'm pretty much set on my choice but don't want to taint the TF feedback waters. Sigma...

Neighbor's dangerous dog attacked my dog Warning: My story is tamer than the average dangerous dog attack, but it's still somewhat disturbing. Some of the 15 photos in this thread are a little bloody. If you cannot handle the sight of blood, you should skip this thread now. My next door...

even odds more wolves are going to be shot illegally this fall than were taken with tags last fall.....when these dang things were shoved down our throats we were told the target population for the entire population in MT, ID and WY was gonna be under 400 wolves and then controls would start in...

Hey TF'ers I wanted to share some pics of my new growth chamber. The goal was to use some junk material to make a new plant box for the CP's (succulents currently residing). It's amazing what you can do with old scrap. I started with some metal shelving units found in the parking lot at my...

I found this on another forum and just had to post it here. I think it'll be fun because there are so many more people here. :) It forms a sentence... mine was "I kicked Chuck Norris because I'm AWESOME!". :-))

Back by popular demand! Looks like the Jam/hot sauce/ maple syrup is doing well....and I saw a comment that someone wanted another set....so here we go! One slight deviation from the other auction - due to a limmited supply of maple syrup, I can't out that here, too (unless bidding gets out of...

My N. x 'Judith Finn' is growing out of control. I need to trim it. I will toss the snipped vine in a baggie and ship to the winner! You'll get at least 10 nodes on the vine (will make several cuttings). I've rooted this plant before pretty reliably, and this would be a great one to get if...

As I'm sure at least a handful of people on this forum get imports from foreign sources from time to time (be they large B.E. shipments or individual heliamphora.de buys), can you clear up what I'm seeing on a lot of other forums about USDA and border control destroying or sending back most...

It's been a very good spring for my plants as they've presented me with some flowers that I've never seen before (in person). I'll start with the flower of the month - U. longifolia ... .... and now my super surprise - U. nelumbifolia. I got some of these plants late last summer and never...

Hello all, couple of weeks ago I started to see little black bugs jumping out when I was misting my live sphagnum moss with water. What I would do is kill them once I saw one. But now it has gotten out of control! It has now made a nice colony in my moss and has tranfered over to my Sarr...

Yellow Utrics are taking over ALL of my sundew pots. I'll admit that I like the flowers, but they tend to pop up in between some of my favorite South American dews and choke them out. To make things worse, when I pick them out, annoying sticky nectar globs gets all over my hands so I can't get...
