William (complete reboot) Hm, the original title isn't so fitting anymore... UPDATE Lots of changes, lost lots of plants moving back between college... but lots survived too! Also some cool new species, including one that's been on my want list for a while. New stuff from BCP is here...

In the wintertime, can I just go get tons of snow from outside and let it melt to water my indoor CPs, like my sundews and my Nep?

Thought some of you might enjoy pictures from the backpacking trip I did last week. I usually do several dozen hikes and backpacking trips per year, but I had wanted to do this one for some time. My buddy (and his dog) and I covered 33 miles over 3.5 days. We went to the Red Castle area of...

So I've thought about getting a VFT, I live in Vancouver, Canada. I was thinking about planting one in the backyard to eat up all the flies we have in the summer, as well as the yellow jackets. My problem is, that around here it's pretty dry (not humid at all!), yet rains alot (Yeah I know...

On Thursday I saw 7 cars with snow on their hoods. On Friday the temperature soared to 82 F. That brought out the bugs and when I cam home from work I saw this: Sure beats sprinkling freezed dried bloodworms and misting!

It has snowed in April here and according to the Storm Prediction website Rain/Snow showers here on Monday Night and Tuesday.

Ridi is back! **pictures working!!** well all, sorry for being gone during the winter. I poked around here and there when I could, but thanks to computer problems, financial problems, and work I basically took a break from the interwebs. Buuuut now I am back, and back with stories to tell, and...

Today was an unusually warm and sunny day in Laval, Quebec. Most of the snow was gone from my backyard, and so i decided to give the sarracenias a break from the flourscent lights. i put them outside, and watched closely for a few hours to see if they catch anything. Well, as of 4:30 today, the...

Ever wonder what happens to a VFT during dormancy? I know the answer. Ever see that show where the airplane crashes in the snow and the people wind up eating each other? It's just like that... Carnivores become cannibals!

I got a phone call at work here from a roommate in distress that found a snake in the basement... Not sure how it got down there, but phone reports says it smells, and isn't really moving quickly. What do I do with this thing? It's 20 out right now, and there's 6 inches of snow on the way...

The plants outdoors are still mostly covered in a late dusting of snow, but my highland shelf seems to be enjoying the cool temperatures of the season. Here's N. eymae, N. sanguinea and N. chaniana x vietchii from their spot next to the window. I really had to contort myself to get the camera...

Actually, it was set up by the previous evening. The weather slowed things down so I got picked up at my carpool buddy's place later than normal. Then Lynn drove real slowly back home. But first we has to stop for gas. And then she just had to stop at the grocery store to pick up a few things...

It has been snowing a bit earlier around here than usual. Today we are expecting around three inches on top of two inches already on the ground. I took some cardboard and placed it on top of a 1 gallon pot I have my sarrs in. then I piled snow on top of and around the pot. Do you think that this...
