Alright don't laugh at me, yea it's mobile, meaning I can move it around when needed. The one S.Rubra looks lonely but I plan to fill it to the rim in a few days with the other five Sarracenia's that are on my grow list.

Hey thanks for sticking up for me... No really it's fine, I still laugh every time I walk outside and see it, but it is working out great.

Impress the ladies... Hahhhh those day are long gone by many years...... The idea for the wagon was my wifes, so in theory, a lady was impressed.

Could you or someone recommend a few temperate sundews???
 
My personal inclination is to go with the North American temperates: Drosera rotundifolia, filiformis, intermedia, capillaris, brevifolia, linearis and anglica. All of these save the last two species are native to the Carolinas and you should have no problem growing them in your bog.

See Barry Rice's FAQ for a basic description of these species and his Galleria Carnivoria for photos. You can root around there for other non-North American temperate Drosera that might catch your eye.
 
Mozzies? I'd cover it with mosquito netting to keep 'em out myself.

All the bog needs now is some Drosera and more Dionaea.
 
Nice wheels! You going to grow some aquatic stuff in the little pool in the middle?

Alex,

That is where I add the water and then it wicks out into the peat. Also seems to make it easy to judge when to water.

That's what I originally thought, but then I assumed it wasn't because it was so large. I guess it wicks out through the hole in the bottom? lol.

Yes, plus being terracotta it wicks through the sides also. I decided to go a little bigger because I'm going to put some kind of water loving plant in it.
