Wow.. that has got to be the nicest in-ground bog I've ever seen!

[fullmonti]

Gorgeous! I have no idea how to do that but glad some one does & did!

That flower is perfect, except for the yellow streaks that make it even better in my opinion.
Is Appalachian Spring oreophila x jonesii or the reverse? I don't know much about Sarracenia hybrids, but the flower looks very jonesii-like to me.

 

[lil hokie]

I really want a bog now.

 

[dionae]

Beautiful garden DJ!

 

[tommyr]

Spectacular! Kudos!

 

[Zath]

Oh!...my god.

Everything about your bog is spectacular!

I have the climate to make a winter-mulched bog a reality, but not the water supply. I'm so glad you took the time and effort to craft such a beautiful bog garden. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, I also think the yellow streaks make it better. I think Appalachian Spring is jonesii x oreophila, but don't quote me on that. S. Jonesii flowers are deep red in color and much smaller.

Thank you. Yeah, water is a big issue with a bog, especially a large one. I am fortunate to live where the water TDS level never goes much above 50 ppm and usually hovers in the 30s range so I can use the water from the hose, plus the fact it rains a lot here and the bog gets flushed with rain water. Without the quality of our tap water, I could not have the collection I do and certainly not the bog.
