horrible

First of all, I am incredibly relieved to hear you are ok Troy. I have been worried sick all day since I just caught wind of the bombing, horrible thing to happen to such a pretty place, to happen anywhere. The world is insane. I tell people almost everyday to someday manage to get over there...

I have been worried about Troy and his family ever since I heard about the horrible explosion in Bali. Yet another senseless, cruel act of cowardly terrorists. Has anybody heard from him since then? My sympathies go out to all the people in countries who lost people in the explosion and fire. I...

I recently rescued a Nepenthes from our local Home Depot (they were all in horrible condition... many rotting and dying). As I was watering it yesterday and saw a centipede weaving in and out of the live peat moss it originally came in. Is this ok or should I be concerned? My traps are still...

it really makes me sad that we have a president that is promoting logging in our national forests.... for a reason such as Quote on him " Logging will promote less under growth, and lower forest fire levels" Yah... right... from what i have seen here in Indiana Logging in dense forests just...

I've come to the horrible realization after looking at my plants tonight that full spectrum flourescents suck.  So now I need something that actually works.  I have a 10 gallon aquarium in a 48" wide by 24" long by 8"deep free standing cabinet. (not sure how much of that is usable space) I could...

Well, as many of you know I have been very busy of late, and I finally had time tonight to wipe the dew from the inner wall of my terrarium, only to behold devestation. There is a massive fungal infestation in my terrarium, it's horrible. Tonight, I clipped about pitchers that were a week ago...

Ok, my alata flowers are finally starting open! I'm pretty sure the plant is a female, but I have never "sexed" (oh that sounds horrible) a Nepenthes before. When I touch it, no pollen comes off, so I'm assuming that it's a girl. If there is more to it than this, please let me know. If you...

Hi everybody A friend of mine is in the hospital. Yesterday he had a 9-hour surgery to reconstruct his mouth. After having about the worst year you could possibly imagine, it was topped off by being diagnosed with cancer of the mouth. In December he had a terrible surgery which removed his...

My flytraps are doing horrible . I am not sure why because last year I had roughly 12 traps on each plant. I only have one left now and that one seems to be on its way out too. I put the flytraps thru dormancy then they start to die slowly when they come out. I have noticed that others do well...

I'm trying to identify some of the plants I purchased offbase. They were just identified as Sarracenia, and one as Sarracenia hybrid (how descriptive). I posted the pics on a geocities site. They may take a little while to download, because they are at 1024*768, or pretty close.  I'm also...

I bought several Sarracenia (minor, and other unidentified, no traps yet) plants last month that were in horrible conditions at a DIY self shop. They are all recovering, at varying degrees. They are still very small, and not a single one has a mature trap. Should I force them into dormancy soon...
