    kitty litter, oil dry, aps, etc

    Hello all! Found this little colony (this is less than an eighth of it) growing in a garden center pond section interspersed among the normal pond plants. The owner said he didn't know what it was and would be happy if I took it off of his hands! I would go back and get the rest but I just...

    painted slider

    I was out at my pond today and noticed a newcomer. I netted her out for this photo. At least I believe it's a she if it isn't too young yet for the plastron to be settled on a shape. I have two questions. 1) The pond is just a small lined garden featured, not a natural pond with mud and...

    Is my sarracenia dead?

    My sarr looks like it's dead, because it the pitchers look like they dried up, turned brown, and i cut them off. I was wondering if it's alive : it's in my pond now. It was in wet soil when it dried up, the same now. Also, i have a flava doing this. The soil for rubra (first dried up) is pure...

    Hey guys. Here's an update on my bogs. This was the coldest winter that NC has experienced in awhile. Most nights the temperatures were below freezing. I never did get around to mulching the bogs to help them against the weather. It's really looking like they didn't need it anyway. Bog...
