snowball

I have a snowball to trade for a good sized N. hamata. I can send two snowballs if it's a large plant.

 

[Capslock]

Can you send them to hell?

I'll trade a box of 80 degree fresh air for that snowball...

Oh, I'm up for some of that sun, after our 14th straight day of clouds (a new record) a bit of sun would be nice.

I see that sunny weather and 80 degree temperature, and the 2 snowballs, and I raise you 3 ice cubes and a popcicle.

Is it a carnivorous snowball? What does it eat? Do you use open tray, terrarium or hanging basket? Does it need dormancy or form a resting bud? How does it propogate?

I'll give you a chewed piece of gum for your snowball.

 

[jimscott]

Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost over night....?

Wait, I have a N. hamata.

This is a pitcher that just opened a day or 2 ago, and just starting to color up.

Please tell me what the current trade is up to? I hope I did not miss out.

OMG!! Drooooooooooooooooooooling now!! Steve that is such a beautiful plant...

For that, I'd up the offer to three snowballs.

They aren't carnivorous, but are pretty deadly if dipped in water and refrozen before thrown.

I haven't figured out their annual lifecycle and have failed with every attempt to induce dormancy.  If I pile leaves over them for the summer the way I do for my Sarracenias' winter dormancy, the snowballs are gone when I remove the leaves the following winter.  Maybe they're migratory.  They even disappear if left in the freezer.  It must be a very strong migratory instinct.

WOW!!!

Bruce, I thought you would have it figured out by now. Why did I raise 3 ice cubes? THAT is where they hide. They have shape shifting capabilities that have amazed Native Americans for years. They see the snowball in infancy as a snowflake, watch it graduate into 3 feet of snow, turn into ICE, and in the spring, migrate to mate. Not hard. Still, you have to beat 3 ice cubes, AND a popcicle.
