    Pu'u Kukui Watershed Preserve

    Hello everyone. While in Maui, I was able to get ahold of an opportunity to climb up the west Maui mountains while traversing through the Pu'u Kukui Watershed Preserve. The area is the only known place on Maui where sphagnum exists in the large number of bogs that are shrouded in clouds for...

    Weevil drinking maple syrup (pic)

    This past winter I bought a Nikkor 50mm F2.8 enlarger lens off eBay for a whole $20.00. This lens has a reputation as a good sharp macro lens when reversed on a bellows. So using a couple of $2.00 adaptors (also off eBay) I tried mounting the lens (reversed) on a vintage OM telescopic auto...

    D. Filiformis Propagation

    Hey I had a leaf break on my Filiformis about a month ago so I cut it into 3 1.5-2 inch strips and sat them on moist peat outside in full sun with the rest of my plants. All three have plantlets growing now that are still very tiny. One already has dew!!!! My question is, how long do I need to...

    Clipping an Annual's flower

    Is there any good reason to clip an inflorescence of an annual sundew? I'm referring to Drosera indica I have in a greenhouse, they have been doing marvelous and aren't quite huge yet, I'm wondering if I should clip their tiny flowers now? The plants feed fairly regularly on the insects of the...

    Springtail infestation or...?

    Recently I've noticed a dense population of tiny white critters crawling around in some of my VFT pots. Not on the plants themselves just the pots. I am not detecting any leaf damage as of yet on any of my plants but the population of these things has exploded lately. They are not fungus gnat...

    Meiosimyza fly

    I was testing a new flash set-up in my garden the other day and found a few of these tiny flies (Meiosimyza sp.) wandering around on a bracken fern. They were tiny (4-5mm long; about 1/10 inch), colourful and mobile: the perfect test subjects for the flash! I shot the fly at F16, so the...

    Astateen's photothread

    Last year I posted pictures of the wet area at my house where several carnivorous plants grow. I have since done much to clear invading shrubs and exotic grasses. Here is a photo from January. The plants have died back completely for the winter and I cleared much of the invading overgrowth...

    Sarracenia Dormancy Question

    I'm wondering what's going on with one of my Pitchers. I got it from Phil at Meadowview late last summer along with another and a few assorted other plants. It's called "Red Flame". Anyway all of my others are in varying stages of development. The "Lemon" I got along with it is in full bloom...

    Aphid Control Question

    I noticed the other day that the tip of an immature pitcher on one of my purps had a little kink in it. Upon closer inspection I saw a couple of aphids hiding in it which I removed. I closely inspected the plant, found a few more which I also manually removed. That plant was pretty far along in...

    Nepenthes macrophylla

    I wasn't sure where to post this since it isn't about my mac' but rather about the flowering plants growing on the surface of the mac' pot. I didn't remove them because they look like tiny grass of some sort and the blades are only about 1/4 inch long. Several weeks ago flower stalks began...

    fried bugs as a nutritious and tasty snack!

    Last month I was in Bangkok, Thailand to attend CITES CoP 16. One free afternoon (my only free afternoon) I took the skytrain out to the Chatuchak (weekend) market—the biggest weekend market in the world. This market is incredible: it is HUGE (according to Wikipedia it covers over 35 acres and...

    Friendly insects or what.........?

    Since the beginning I have noticed these smallish insects (termite looking only much smaller) cruising around the medium in all of the plants. They aren't thripes and don't seem interested in the plants, if I touch them with my tweezers they jump. I saw what appears to be very tiny versions...

    Nepenthes hamata #1 & #2

    My first hamata is changing producing less curvy, larger and longer leaves. I had some trouble with it producing dud pitchers, proto-tendrils, at the end of the leaves that didn't extend and the tiny pitchers would turn brown. I traced it to lack of water, I guess I was over obsessing about...
