Hi, after having a great day around the Gifberg we traveled back South to Tulbagh. On this way we wanted to take the opportunity to take a look on a location close to Nieuwoudtville we discovered in 2009. The day was almost as nice as the day before on Gifberg! So, we were full of hope to...

I'm a voter and vote in all the elections. I know when it is and know who I'm voting for. I however have the absolute sh$#'s of all the prerecorded phone calls I'm getting now that the election is coming up. I swear yesterday I got a call every 15-20 minutes between 5:00PM - 6:30PM. I was...

Okay, so I had an idea that would be pretty cheap and it would make a pretty piece for my room. Basically what it would be is a 10 gallon fish tank paludarium. It would have a mound of sphagnum going around on all sides and a big puddle in the middle. The puddle would go about 1/3 of the way up...

I've been experimenting with indoor growing as of late due to problems outdoors. I really think I may live in an environment that is too extreme for carnivorous plants. Gulf coast, Texas. Summer temps are often over 100 and humidity can be 85+ with that temperature. I put my plants out in full...

I'm working on moving my plants indoors. I have a four bulb, four foot t5 light on the way. I'm planning on using a table I purchased cheap at a thrift store to display then on next to a window. Not going to use a terrarium since this room is above 55% humidity. My biggest issue is figuring out...

So here's the dilly.. I can no longer afford to run my AC in the GH anymore. Our electric bills are averaging $350 a month. I knew as soon as I hit the button to turn off the AC, everything was going to change. After a serious emotional breakdown this weekend (because that GH is my life)...

Keith and a couple of other people have asked me to share some tips for photographing plants. It's taken me a while to get it together, but I've got a plan now: I'll write up a series of "lessons and exercises" you can participate in, if you wish. Here's the first one, and I hope that it is...

How do ya get rid of the new Scrabble's annoying demands to invite others to play? I right clicked and had the option on Adblock to block either the frame or the image. I chose image and lost the Scrabble board. I had to do a system restore to get it back. :angry:

I'm in San Francisco for work this week. Last night I was out bar-hopping with a coworker in the lightning storm, and we got drenched. By drenched, I mean we looked like we just crawled out of a pool by the time we got back to the hotel. Who needs public transportation when you have the option...

I've seen some great examples of bogs -- raised, circulating, etc. I'm looking to build (or have built) something a little different: I prefer to grow my outdoor (greenhouse in the winter) CP in pots, despite all of the advice to the contrary from experienced friends. I don't have a good reason...

I have a few nepenthes truncatas growing on my kitchen window. The light in there is pretty good as there's another window that shines in, the over head flourecents and the window itself. But I will want to get something else directly over the window above my sink. I have two pots hanging...

I was having trouble deciding where to put my VFTs nowadays, since last year they lived on my windowsill (classic nono) and then they moved into my mum's greenhouse which got them riddled with spidermites. With a dog running around, outside on the ground was not an option, so I decided to put...

Greetings. I'm going on a nature hike in early March to photograph some local carnivorous plants (Sarracenia minor, Pinguicula species, Drosera, etc). What sort of shoes should I wear? I need to hike about a mile or two to the best possible CP location from the reserve's parking lot. It's an...
