Today I posted a few white box pictures of tobacco hornworms (Manduca sexta) on my blog. Apparently this species ranges into British Columbia, but I’ve never found one. And there certainly wouldn’t be any available in the wild locally at this time of year. I bought these specimens in a local per...
Yesterday I received a package which contained to juvenile axolotls, a wild type and a golden albino... They are approx. 2" in length, and adorable as can be... Names have not been given yet.
Here is the wild type
And here is the golden albino
Will get more pics later...
I thought it might be interesting if members told the stories of what their forum names mean and how they came to choose them. I often wonder...
I chose 'bluemax' because that is what I came to call my current computer after I built it. Blue - because the case I chose has blue leds to light it...
I mainly grow native plants, from Florida and Georgia, and carnivores.
If anyone is interested in native plants and their ecosystems of Florida, check out Priceless Florida, printed by the Pineapple Press. The book really gave me a new perspective on the really unique and dynamic ecosystems of...
Hi all,
the area around the town of Darling has some very interested places if you are into plants in general. After visiting Peter Hewitt's Nursery in the morning we started to drive towards Clanwilliam. On this way we went to three different locations in the Darling area.
The first stop was...
You may not know his name but you probably know of him. S.Readii was named for him. He did a lot of work for cp's. It's a great loss but all of us that loves cps are better off for the life long work he did. I talked to his daughter a few weeks ago, he'll be missed...
im looking for some Asclepias tuberosa seeds (butterfly weed) love this plant and there is a shortage of wild milkweed in this area for butterflies
also interested in other milkweed
Aight, so I had this idea quite a while ago and I've thought it through and it seems like it would work. The idea is simple... When old leaves or pitchers die, you cut them off and let them decompose on top of the medium. There is one major flaw to this, which is that it would grow mold, however...
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...
So, someone on OCPS forums admitted to taking plants from my cities local protected bog.
Needless to say, I wanted to unleash the kracken and destroy this kid. But he is young, and I don't want to scare him away...
Here is part of my response:
I am from Ottawa, and am quite disappointed that...
Since it is taking a while for me to upload the rest of the ICPS pics (there are lots, and I'm busy with driving school for next few days) I figured I would give a bit of a tide-over till then. I was gonna post this anyways, but I'll just post it now!
So, after ICPS, my family and I headed down...
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...
Hey so I am a freshman in college, and i've recently taken up an interest in Drosera's. They really are a remarkable plant and I can't stop staring at my new collection. I hope to someday see them in the wild. Anyways, I have a small terrarium and am growing:
-D. Capensis
-D. Nitidula ssp...
I am doing a motorcycle road trip later this month from Boston to Seattle and would be interested in hearing from people who can suggest some CP stops en route. Looking for private collections that you'd be willing to show, wild populations to see, or CP shops that are out there. My route is...
I have three packets of Darlingtonia californica seeds to give away: seeds grown here at home, on my own personal plants. IE: these are not wild collected seeds. The first three people who request these will be asked to send a SASE* to qualify for the seeds. I will PM the recipient with my...
Imagine finding Sundews on a desert island surrounded by salt-water... that pretty much describes the Wilderness section of Fire Island.
I found an oasis which seems to be the only permanent & fully fresh water there (there's brackish marshes and seasonal fresh water puddles)
Is the literal...
