melt

It's about time! We had our first positive temperature this week. We have 16 ft of snow to melt before summer.

Now that the snow is starting to melt, I want to add to my tiny nep collection and I think peltate leaves are really pretty. I know rajah and clipeata both show the trait but I was wondering if there are any others. I think my place gets too cold for clipeata and I'm kind of intimidated by...

my nep has been sitting in my windowsill for about a week now, still in its 3" original pot, i wanted to transplant it today. its a 4" tall n. ventricosa with a few totally black leaves on it(i imagine just needs trim from winter). the plant has like three 4 inch leaves with many smaller ones...

Well I finally got a small 10 g allon tank setup :-O Most of the thanks goes to a member that I traded for the aquatics, He'll post if he wants the credit or not :jester: There are 3 guppies for now gonna get a few other fish and some cherry shrimp. I shot it today :D The camera is a very...

Sup, peeps. I was drooling over N. villosa pics today, and since I had planned on not doing CP's in college (due to space) it dawned on me that N. villosa really wouldn't outgrow a small freezer for a long time, and since it's something I've always wanted to do, I'm seriously going to do it once...

i find this story VERY interesting being a student of geology......note what i put in bold and underlined.....it says the ecosystem has been intact since between 250 and 500 million years ago......anyone have any clue what Antarctica looked like even 150 million years ago? it was about twice its...

Some friends and I were at a local bistro the other evening and the discussion turned to global warming. One of them, a structural engineer, stated he had read that if only the ice floating in the ocean were to melt, the water level of the seas would rise three to five feet, flooding vast areas...

You think since i have an overabundance of snow outside, i could take that snow melt it and use it for my plants to water them?

looking for some ostrich ferns but might conside another large outdoor fern hardy to zone 3. let see what do i have to trade? well they arent up yet but in another week or two i should have the hardiest tiger lilies on the planet coming up. to give you an idea on how hardy these things are, i...

We know cobra lilies like two things: - cool water on the roots - moving, aerated water on the roots (the most important I think) So I had some cobras I was taking out of dormancy, and I had an old 2.5 gallon aquarium lying around with some grungy old filters, and figured I'd try something. I...

So I have been growing CPs now for a couple years now and the hardest part for me is dormancy. See I live in Ohio where it usually gets rediculously cold during the winter and as such I lose a lot of plants every year. This year I aquired a minifridge for the sole purpose of safely getting my...

Hi great masters of Ping growing, Here in tropical Singapore, I find growing Pings rather challenging as high humidity tends to make Pings melt (at least for me).  I know Cindy grows them very well, but she is in a class of her own.   In september, I received hibernacula of Ping. grandiflora...

Alphawolf sent me this page. http://www.livescience.com/forcesofnature/050627_strange_lakes.html This doesn't explain everything, like if this is true then how come most of the bays are dry.

Whta kind of Cper would I be if I didn't pay the North Carolina Botanical Gardens a visit while in the area? Here's a slew of pics from my second trip (Didn't have a digital camera last year). Here's hoping I don't melt the forum with all these pictures. 56K Users Beware!!!

The theory of how, once enough fresh water from the glaciers and frozen ocean melt into the ocean current, the current shuts down and stops bringing warmed water (and therefore warmed air) to the poles, and therefore creating an ice age, hence global cooling.

If you own a xbox check the bottom for the manufacture date. If it is before October 23, 2003, you need a new cord. Apparently extended play time is causing them to melt sometimes burning people, carpet, and such. Microsoft will send you a new one at no cost. See www.xbox.com on the right hand...

I brainstormed today and formulted two newfangled inventions for the CPs! And they're both from a steel clotheshanger! First one: I butchered a clothes hanger with wirecutters (oooooo.. big deadly tools.... *eyes brighten*) and bent the top half of one straight metal peice into a circle, coming...

Right now I collect the cleanest snow from my back yard, melt it down in a big pot, boil it for a few minutes, and then strain it through an old t-shirt.  It's worked well so far. I'll be buying distilled water soon though. I haven't gone to the grocery store in a while. It's not purified but...

All help wanted to save these plants. I recieved 4 plants for free today from a place selling a few CP's. They do not look to good. I recieved some sort of Trumpet, 2 Pygmy Dews, and a Butterwort. A few things I need help on is this: The trumpets pitchers are still green at the base and the...
