introduction

This info came across the VCPS listserver & even though it comes across as blatant spam, anyone who has seen some of his other books & enjoys Nepenthes will cough up the bucks ... The email also had 21 beautiful color pics of Neps - however, I don't know how to share those pics w/o hosting each...

While viewing the Chris Mars art exhibit & book signing at the Galleria Barnes & Noble tonight I ran across this book in the bargain section: http://www.amazon.com/Shaman-Voyages-Ecstasy-Healing-Siberia/dp/1903296188/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236139994&sr=8-1 Being interested in the...

Hi all - I'm new to the forum (see my introduction today in the intro thread), but a fairly experienced CP grower - mostly Sarracenia. I built a 12' x 4' x 2' deep outdoor bog this past spring just south of Pittsburgh PA, and it is currently experiencing its first PA winter under a layer of...

These are the same pictures I just posted in my introduction, but I figured I'd share them here, along with some specs. The terrariums is an 18 x 18 x 24 inch Exoterra glass terrarium, with a front opening. I got rid of the screen cover, and replaced it with a sheet of glass. The clips that held...

Specifically I'm aiming this at Nep AK but anyone with an interest in the methods of modern day tattooing art should enjoy this book I picked up today: Preview http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Tattoo-How-Secrets-Masters/dp/1929133332/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1228008811&sr=1-1 The book is...

This week I went crazy on fantasy art books instead of actual reading material. Every so often I like to add to my inspirational art shelf. So let's review today's accidental over purchases...

Here's one for Botanicadentata and anyone else interested in Quantum Physics. A very nice encyclopedia of nearly each and every term, theory, piece of equiptment, etc used in Quantum research and covering all of Quantum History from the 1900s on up. It is illustrated with diagrams and photos as...

Hello, my name is Eddie and I am 13. I have been growing carnivorous plants for a little more than a year now. I have been reading this forums for several months and have decided that I would learn more and I could could help people just starting out in this hobby as a member of the forum...

Hello from Knoxville, TN. I have just joind you forum after a recommendation by one of your members. For 14 years i collected adenium, pachypodium, and a few orchids while living in Florida. When I moved to Knoxville I had to give them up. I don't know if you have ever had to give up a...

I was accepted into the GIS (Geographic Information System) Certificate Program at my school. I figured that since I am majoring in Geography, I might as well jump into one of the most demanded aspects of mapping in the field. The "program" itself is smaller than a minor; it's only composed of...

Seriously...how can some people be totally lacking in the "common sense" department? LEESBURG, Ga. (AP) - A south Georgia teenager is charged with child cruelty after an online video showed a young man launching a baby several feet across a room. The video posted on YouTube shows the teenage...

Greetings All! I am not new to Carnivorous Plants, but have been out of the hobby for some time. As a kid back in the late 60's I ordered some Venus Fly Trap bulbs from some ad in a magazine. They grew in our kitchen window in a little glass dish for a number of years, and I was hooked...

This was my first orchid book when I bought it ~10 years ago and it gave my first orchids the opportunity to survive while I learned how to grow them. Originally published in 1963 (this edition is 1972), it's older than most of the people here, but it's the best introduction to orchids I've...

I'll be the first in this thread to admit it. When you all are talking about the QB from '82 that should have won the Superbowl or whatever, I don't have the foggiest idea who you are taliking about. Never have been interested and never will be. Scotty Chaos brought this up in another...

Hello everyone, I am new as of Saturday. My name is Isaac and I live in Utah zone 6B I think. I just graduated high school last June (thank heavens! That place is pure torture!). I’m not really sure yet what I will make of myself later in life. Right now I am considering acting, screenplay...

Hello, I have a nepenthes that was one of my first ones that I never really took great care of. It is even still in the original "junk" media. It was purchased from Homedepot so is one of those mystery hybrid things I guess. I don't know if the lack of lid is from horrid breading, or me never...

Hey guys, I just recently joined and had a couple questions about my cephs. I am going to copy and paste my questions from my introduction thread in here though, so hopefully I can get some feedback on them. The following is an excerpt from my intro. post. Here are a few more pics. The first...

Hey all. This is my Rafflesiana V. Elongata I just got recently. The growth tip was snapped along with some leaves during shipping. I left them on there in case the plant was able to pull its nutrients from the dying parts. I'm not sure if Neps can do this, but I know many other types of plants...

Here's some updated shots of my baby anole and his house: I got the terrarium canopy built and put a black foamcore behind the tank, I've added a lot of plants since the earlier pic, 3 alocasias, 2 Christias (more on these later), a lecanopteris fern and some more orchids! The inside of the...
