VERY nice Nep. I want one with all dew, but outdoors in SF isnt that nice for them lol. Luv the catesbelia
 
Tony, I think Sarracenia Nepenthes and Heliamphora will be most likely to toss anything out of their traps, everyone else will be most likely fine.

Ceph, I will be adding Rotundifolia and Intermedia once the rains come and drench the bog, it really needs it bad!
 
Nice plants as well as the bog, Nep. G.

NG< looks real nice...

just make sure it's a little higher than the ground around it... I sure would hate it if some fertilizer rich run-off got in there...

I think I would cry for you... your lucy is looking NICE....

Thanks Ram! Ya it is about 5 inches around the sides so no ground water is gonna run in to or over the edges. I did add a side spout to collect and reserve emergency water for the bog too, I just started it off by filling it up with RO water, tis way if it does rain tonihgt the excess water will water my bog from the mini water fall created by the side spout attachement. My address? Ya want it? I'll just surround my house with V3 Soviet surplus rocket lauchers and be prepared. lol.

Or maby i can surround it with some Apocalspe tanks?

NG,

That sure is a great looking bog----Ram, I'll hold him down if you'll share the bootie LOL.

I really am impressed, even without rain you must have the perfect conditions and one very greenthumb. I'm doing a raindance myself and its not working. Used up the last of my reserved rainwater the other day, now I have to stock up from the store

Again, nice looking setup

j/k

Linda, I don't think you'll be holding down a 6 ft4 guy any time soon and esp. when RamPuppy would be stacking his Sarracenia and Neps in the back of his Dodge Ram!
biggrin.gif
And yeah, it has been pretty dry here but I have been surving off of 3 gallons of distilled water and 6 gallons of RO water and 1 gallon of Rain water now gone along with the Distilled and 4 gallons of RO. So I got about 2 gallons now and that's enough as my bog is pretty good and I put up a sidespout mini pond thingie that will catch and store up to 2 gallons of Rani when it does rain! And all the other SAras, where the leucophylla is pictures you can see a gray picnic table it is siting at and there are lots os other plants thee and they have been using up water too but not too bad, so as you can see everyoen is suffering up here!

HeHeHe, Ram thats a good one and I would love to take you up on it.

NG---Never underestimate a girl on a mission-- 6ft 4 may be tough, but I've played some football in my day and was pretty good at the quarterback sneak LOL.

I am really impressed by your plants and can't wait to see how they make it the winter in your new greenhouse.
