Wire Man's Plants

Thanks guys! Not everything looks so hot. N. sibuyanensis hasn't made a pitcher for nearly a year now, and one of my purps has kinda crashed. 'The Brute' sibling may have been renames 'Snake Bite.' I'll have to ask Trent. No doubt that burbidgeae x talangensis is going to be a show stopper. It should get unmanageably large, either. And to think I haven't even posted my new AW plants.
I'm very proud of the bog garden. it always gets the attention of deliverymen. I just wish it was bigger.

I meant to get around to this sooner, but health problems have delayed things.
 
'Great color on the D. pulchella flower. I've always liked P. cyclosecta flowers and you've got some good shots. So how big would your bog garden be if you had your way? :)
 
Thanks! If I could make it as large as i wanted to? The entire row where the bog garden is installed would be nothing but bog garden. The measurements would be something around 5' x 20'. My back wouldn't be able to take all of the digging.
 
More stuff!

Ooohhhhh this hurts.... so many nice plants you have, while I just had a 10 year hailstorm...... the agony...... really liking the minors though, and the flytrap cultivars.
 
I think this is the best the bog garden has ever looked. There's a bigger rugelii that I may be getting next year that gets over 4 feet tall!
 
Quick update.

The Dryadella attenuata bloomed again, and profusely.

The eddie threw a bit of a fit a few months ago, but it's much happier now.

That's only 2 years of growth. The orange flowers are Polygala lutea. I'm trying to find sources for some of the other species.
