    Just got a chest freezer!

    Well I just got a 3.6 cu.ft chest freezer for $75 which I think isn't a bad price at all. The internal measurements are 18X18X28 (LXWXH). So I should be able to grow some plants in there to a large size (which should take awhile anyway) before moving them out. I'm planning on getting rajah for...

    S. flava seed

    Just plucked a couple more pods.  These are from S. flava plants obtained from Rone Lane.  As many of you know, Ron is an excellent grower with great plants.  At first, I thought this was S. flava var. maxima because it is very green--no coloring on outside of pitchers or top of hood.  But in...

    I need to vent about school and

    School....They have you by the b***s. Without it you can't get a good job. While your there you get leached for all your money. You are required to take a load of BS classes in order to get your degree. Books change about as often as some folks change their shorts taking even more money. They...

    Mt. hood national forest - part ii

    The third bog we visited was the Camas Prairie. Accessing the site required a short ramble through the woods. As soon as the trees started thinning, we saw D. rotundifolia. It was growing in moss (not sphagnum), rotting wood... ... and directly in fallen logs: D. anglica was also...

    Mt. hood national forest - part i

    Forbes and I have moved west from the Wallowas, and spent the past two days exploring three locations in the Mt. Hood National Forest. Both D. anglica and D. rotundifolia are relatively widespread in the Oregon Cascades, so much so that in order to get the most out of our trip, we are...

    Got rid of fish and converted tank into upgraded

    I'd been planing on doing this since me and my grandmother got in the same semi-monthly fight about my 29-gallon fish tank when we cleaned it, so I got sick of that crap and decided I couldn't deal with cleaning the tank as much as I needed to, so I got the fish tank converted to a dew/ping/Nep...

    S. alata 'areolata'

    How many areoles is S. alata 'areolata' supposed to have? Mine seems to have the hood looking like S. leucophylla but it is obviously S. alata (and the flower also S. alata).

    Need a lamp for my new fluorescent bulb

    I have a 42 watt, cool white fluorescent bulb on it's way to me from a site that I ordered it from. Problem is, I only have a desklamp to use and the bulb is so big it's going to stick at least halfway out of the lamp. I have to put this in my bedroom and don't want to blind me or my wife...
