In my wanderings I came across an abandoned sand pit in southern NH. Years ago a construction company used to lease this land for hauling out sand for their projects. The area was basically a white pine woodland growing on top of pure fine sand surrounded by an immense beaver dam. The company...

I need to trade my rarer sarrs because I will be moving soon and my new place doesn't have a roof to grow them. I will be keeping the big pot of common stuff at a friends house or somewhere else but I would rather trade out my rarer stuff to people who can appreciate them. I am looking for...

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I don't have any CP's of my own, but I am very interested in conservation of the picosin habitat in which CP's live. A few miles from where I live, the Croatan forest contains pine savannas and picosins which form the natural habitat for these plants in my area...

Just wanted to share my recent experience with the method of putting your villosa in the fridge. I suggest to not risk doing it. I tried putting it in the fridge as people suggest because my nighttime drops were only getting down to the high 70s and with day time temps of high 80s-90. The...
