oddly

Some of you know that earlier this year my wife lost her job. She makes more at what she does than what I do as a laboratory analyst. So the gameplan was to have her do a job search and procure a job, while I look where she has strong leads. Her search spanned PA, NY, Ohio, Michigan, MD, and...

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.

Heres a few quick snaps at some of my plants and a few aquarium fish. The newest pitcher on my N. burbidgeae. It is the biggest so far, and I am looking forward to more. S. leucophylla 'Tarnok'. For once, my parents said they actually look good, unlike all my other ugly, dirty, space...

My merriliana has a scale infection. Nuts. Oddly, the plant still looks fairly healthy, though it's pitchers have shruck a tad. What would you recommend to a) kill the scale and b) NOT kill the merri?

Hi, I looked at the forum before and decided I should join. I live in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fl. I own several Carnivorous Plants including a couple Venus Fly Traps, a sundew, a butterwort and a pitcher plant. I think the pitcher plant is Sarracenia 'Judith Hindle' since that is what the "Savage...

Here's the deal. In April 2003, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDACS) passed a rule making Oriental bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) a "Class C Noxious Weed." That means that in North Carolina the plant is illegal to be distributed and sold. The reason...

What are the most expensive Nepenthes currently for sale? Are they all oddly colored varieties of ampullaria or species just introduced to the hobby? Will the cost of these most expensive plants drop as soon as they get going in TC?

Hey, here are some pics. First, my N. alata Luzon. The right pitcher just opened, and the other is older, with the throat colored up red. Next, my hamata pitchered finally! Woohoo! OK, it's just a little guy. But there's another about to open, and the new leaf is going to be the biggest by...

First off, sorry for not being around lately, other responsibilities have been taking precedence. And yes UKC, I spell checked the big post LOL Anyhow... YAH! SERIOUSLY! If you don't want to believe me that’s fine, but please hear me out on this. In theory, it is totally possible to cross a...

Hello to everyone from hurricane-ravaged Richmond, VA... Seems like forever since I've been here.  Anyone notice I was gone?  No?  lol     I have been without power for the last week and in fact still have no power at home.     *cry!*  Our office just opened back up yesterday, so I can use the...

Good evening, I'm having all manner of trouble figureing out what's wrong with my terrarium lights. I just built the hood and installed two fluorescent light fixtures that both hold 2 24" tubes for a total of four. They are wired correctly to my power cord. I bought some cord about 12 feet in...

Can you spot the mutant trap? Weird eh.   Should I split this VFT?

Hi, a couple of the new pitchers on my new purple pitcher are growing well oddly. They seem to be too skinny to support the weight of a pitcher. The pitchers haven't opened yet but it is all ready sagging over from the weight. Could it be its' conditions or is this normal. It's in a fish tank...

Ok...this is just my humble opinion on the milk issue. I tried it...on my little heliamphora that has just FINALLY started growing and developing some heli-looking pitchers instead of those stick-like baby pitchers. I thought maybe the milk would give it a boost in growth. Well instead of a...

I know you get this a lot--but I've searched the Ping forum to no avail on this. TIA with a vengeance! I have my first ping and I do not know when it will need to go dry(er). Do I just stop watering it at some point? When would that be? It is in a terrarium with a bunch of tropical CPs...
