Wire Man's Plants

[Mossy Girl]

You have amazing plants! I love your bog garden! It's in my plans for the future.

 

[Wire Man]

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.

Awesome plants, dude!! : o

'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?

 

[Wire Man]

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.

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.

 

[pappydew]

Lovin the bog garden!

 

[corky]

[Wire Man]

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!

DAMN! Color me impressed!

 

[amphirion]

I second that comment. Wow!

 

[Lil Stinkpot]

Thirded. Wow.

Did I already ask what the orange pom-poms are?

 

[Wire Man]

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.

 

[Mossy Girl]

Those before and after pictures are crazy impressive!! You have an amazing bog!! Not to mention all the other amazing plants.
