DIY "Wood" and "Rocks"
Driftwood and vines covered in mosses and orchids are always a good addition to a vivarium to add that touch of jungle realism. People have also started using rocks that fit the type of environment they're creating just to add that little extra touch as you know there are...
Hey, all. I have several small Cephalotus. I've decided to try a naturalistic terrarium with a lot of epiphytes, a wood/foam back wall, orchids, tillandsia and small bromeliads. Of course I'll still have CP's, but I'll be sticking to Drosera, a few small Nepenthes, Pinguicula and Utricularia...
Hi all,
Just trying to get the word out about the "Botanical Wonders" rhizomes at Lowes/ Home Depot. It is my understanding they are wild collected, seeing as how the company states they are "nursery grown". Trillium, trout lily's, maiden hair ferns, and many other woodland plants are being...
Someone sent me this at work. Somehow, I have a rep for being "The meat eatin' plat guy" here at MyJob. heh

Some good pictures in the article. It looks a lot like that Nep that they recently discovered ate small mammal...
Here is a short listing of the ones I have for trade, I'm mainly looking for Utricularia's I don't have followed by Genliseas, Peperomias (vining types), VFT variations, miniature (under 4") Ferns, miniature (under 4") orchids, and anything under 4" that goes really well in vivariums with high...
So, with the warmer weather, and a rather strange day...Rain, sun, rain, sun.....
things are beginning to liven up around here...
As some of you know, Western Washington is known for its temperate rainforests...
we have a small chunk out back, so my gf and i went on a walk through some trails...
Hello everyone. I've been looking for a good CP board, and it looks like I found it. I don't grow very many carnivores at the moment, but I'll list what I do have, and I'll get some pictures up a little later. Nice to meet everyone!
Right now, for what I have growing carnivorous-wise...
This is my favorite fern
Before rain

This poor guy was trash out by a LOWES, it looked almost stone dead, so I brought it home and it seems to be alive and well now.:poke:
Few Random Pics
Had a spur-of-the-moment bog trip yesterday morning so I thought I'd post some pics.
The last time I was there about a month ago, a crew was pruning back the plants around the path. Besides the sound of chainsaws and power trimmers ringing out through the bog, the carnage along the path...
Unfortunately, I only had about a half an hour on the island and it was part of a guided tour group so I was limited by what I could do (or what I could get away with doing). Unfortunately the tour took place at midday which is the WORST time to photograph outdoors.
For those that don't know...
Hey guys. I've got adult cinnamon ferns (Osmunda cinnamomeum), adult interrupted ferns (Osmunda Claytonia), adult Christmas ferns ( Polystichum acrostichoides, which is evergreen), what I'm almost positive is some sort of beech fern or at least looks like it's in the genus Phegopteris. Or it may...
Lowland N.veitchii were thought to be growing in most part of the lower mountain range of Sarawak. Where they were sighted their population were low. Their growth habitat heath forest were mostly in inaccessible and untamed places usually at higher altitude. Through researching and interviewing...
Soon the monsoon rain will be over and path the way for a hot and warm months ahead.
The heavy rain flooded many lowland and neps that lie in the area were partially submerge, a strange landscape transformed.
It's interesting to note that the onslaught of monsoon rain, the occassional heavy...
Has anyone had experience using this stuff? (It's Door/Window insulation foam) It's mostly used for backgrounds but I've seen it used on the floor of vivariums before. I was gunna spray it about 6 inches deep and use a hole saw to cut out holes for potted plants. Then put like a 1 inch hole...

this is something along the lines of "Calcea's(sp?) moss" its not actually a moss, i cannot find any info on it, if anyone knows ANYTHING ON IT PLEASE LET ME...
I have a N. singalana in a 4 inch pot that's recovering from some neglect. A few months ago a little fern popped up in this very same pot, and being the nice plant guy that I am, I let it grow.
Well, this little fern took it upon itself to grow bigger than my N. singalana. I honestly have no...
