After many years on my "To do" list, I finally visited a S. purpurea purpurea site in PA that I last visited ~30 years ago (yikes - it's been a while!!). When I 1st visited this location, it was a floating sphagnum bog undergoing a successional process. Trees rimmed the bog and after a...

*Sigh* I brought my Boston ferns in for the winter about a month ago. Couldn't leave them out in the cold all winter. Yesterday I cleaned all the CP trays, and the nep tank out. What did I find? A bumper crop of little black insects, some winged, others not, covering my Drosera and trying to...
