    CP on Sci-Fi

    Just in case we have any other Star Gate fans here, I was watching an episode of Star Gate Atlantis today and spotted a big pot of Sarrecenia posing as an alien plant.:0o: Season 3 episode 17 "Sunday" (DVD season 3 Volume 3 disc 5 episode 1). About half way into the episode just after Rodney...

    Confusion- D. dielsiana or D. natalensis?

    After talking with Christian Dietz, he informed me that most D. dielsiana in cultivation are actually D. natalensis, so I was curious if anyone had ideas as to what my plants can be classified as. I know Tamlin was researching this a while back, so I'm hoping he can shed some light on this. If...

    North Central CP Meeting! Spring 2009

    Howdy everyone! Last year I hosted a CP meeting for those of use who are in the central area, we had a great turn out and loads of fun! While we were talking about having a society, but once we all got together we came to the conclusion that an informal trading / gathering session would be the...

    Capensis alba seeds available

    I just pulled the stalk off and probably dumped 7 trillion seeds all over the place, but since this is a capensis we're talking about, there are still around 43 trillion left. I want to get some going for myself, but I will send out most of them to whomever is interested. Preference will go...

    Hi, When do the US temperate species, i.e., D. rotundifolia break dormancy, flower, etc, in the Northern US? I am talking in situ(or bog garden, I guess). Thanks, Joe

    P. moranensis getting munched on?

    I have a weird thing going on with my moranensis. I repotted it recently and now, all the old leaves are vanishing. I'm not talking shriveling up, I'm talking big circular holes appearing in them and spreading out. It almost looks like they're melting. It really looks like something is...

    The Story Of The Three Little Pings

    The Three Little Pings Once upon a time, in a far away land, three little Pings lived peacefully, in a small sphagnum bog. The three pings used to hang out a lot together. The first little ping was named Maury, the moranensis. The second was Lauri, the Laueana. And last but certainly not...

    A true newbie question -- How far can things be crossed?

    I have a complete and total newbie question. I see all kinds of neato crosses between various Sundews, but, I am somewhat new to growing plants, so... I guess my question is, is there a limit as to how far you can cross one? I am not talking about crossing 2 crosses, I know sundew hybrids are...

    A year in review

    Dave Barry Year in Review: Bailing out of 2008 BY DAVE BARRY How weird a year was it? Here's how weird: • O.J. actually got convicted of something. • Gasoline hit $4 a gallon -- and those were the good times. • On several occasions, Saturday Night Live was funny. • There were a few days...

    Your talking to one of GA newest Graduate Nurses!

    I took my final yesterday and passed! With all the mess going on and more hitting the fan right before the final, I was a little worried. I did not study at all really for the test. Looked over a few notes last min, but no studying. So with all that said I am one of the newest Graduate...

    A reverse-ID? (Drosera)

    I have an odd question. Many moons ago -- about 3-4 months back, I think -- I saw an absolutely breathtaking Drosera in these forums... I do not remember the name but feel that it started with a G, and IIRC that it came from either Madagascar or Brazil. What I DO remember was the color, a...

    Life has it's rewards

    So today I came home from work early because I'm sick, and spent the afternoon talking to my insurance provider about how they aren't going to cover more than 50% of my $750/month prescription bill because I have to take a drug that's still patented. I went to go get dinner and hang out with a...

    Anatomy of a opinion

    [sarcasm, humor. Not speaking personally but broadly ] Everyone who disagrees does not know the whole story. If they knew everything-that-I-knew, then everyone would have the same opinion on the matter. Mine. Because of course I am right. If I did not think I was right, then I would not have...

I use one part tap water and one part RO water to keep some minerals and salts in his water (I know they don't do well in...

    Post VP debate thread

    I was surprised at how well Palin did, but I think that was mainly because she was dodging questions and falling back on her favorite talking points. I noticed at some points that the flow of her words was more of a speech than of a debate. She did show her teeth a bit, which is good for her...

    Why did I call 911?

    I was calling my aunt after talking to my dad today and I got the 911 operator asking what my emergency was. My aunts # isn't anything close to 911 (not to mention the additional 4 numbers). So what's going on? Has this happened to anyone else?
