Mass's GH

  • #681
No plants were harmed.
And normally I would let the public know that this is not a product they should purchase. But when that "public" sends me hate emails comprised of information from TF, then I could care less about informing people about anything here.
So basically TF now get's the bare minimum from me. So please don't offer any outside knowledge you may have gotten from our emails buddy ol' pal.

'Very sorry to hear about the gh's collapse. It all looked so promising. Maybe the cover is salvageable? Then you could create your own frame. 'Just a thought.

It hasn't stopped raining for 4 days now. As soon as the sun comes back I'm going to take a look at everything. The cover is just fine from what I can tell. And I have numerous parts from an older similar GH. So pretty sure I can replace the broken pieces and reassemble... something.
Far from giving up on the now, free GH.

I'll post pics of the recreation.

Decided to wait a bit before moving anymore plants out there. Figured I'd wait until after our next storm.. gonna need a test run.

Travis, that SOM is amazing! I passed up a two foot across plant from Jeremiah, cause it would have obliterated everything in my terrarium.

It is a shame smaller plants are not readily available...

Those darlingtonia are killer. And nice job reconstructing that gh, looks good as new
 
  • #688
Hey! GH looks good. How did you reconstruct the frame?

Hey! GH looks good. How did you reconstruct the frame?

By swapping out the broken pieces with those of an older GH I had. Even had enough spare parts to add some cross bars to the frame. Hopefully that'll help to stabilize the sway a bit during the up and coming storms.

And thanks peat, and Iwest.

A few random pics..

D. filiformis ssp. tracyii (Santa Rosa, FL)

IMG_2664.jpg


These sarrs all went through a late spring frost, causing a short dormancy. Just now starting to wake up, which is nice since I thought they were dead.
S. rubra gulfensis (ancestral)

IMG_2662.jpg


Grew these from seed: S. purpurea ssp. venosa var. burkii "Big Mama" x S. leucophylla 'White'
Anyone know what the red spots are caused by? I've been spraying them for bugs, and it hasn't really spread or continued.

also grown from seed: S. oreophylla x S. 'Leah Wilkerson'

a new S. 'Cobra's Nest' from a close friend in Oregon. Thanks again brotha..

U. nelumbifolia bog still seems to be doing well

IMG_2633.jpg


Thought it was time to share this one. Can take credit for some growth finally. N. albomarginata 'Black' seedling. Can see how the new growth seriously dwarfs the old. It seems to be liking it's fert regimen. Even put out it's first collared pitcher!

Sarrs looking real good, and the dews as usual.
 
  • #695
Well done on those seedings Mass! :)
 
  • #696
hey thanks. Really happy they started throwing out growth again. Can't wait for the others to catch up to picture worthiness.
 
  • #697
Red spots might be several things. Could be fungal disease. See one on almost all sarrs. Could be normal thing. Could be acid reflux ate too many yellow jackets
 
  • #698
That D. neocaledonica is cool-looking. I'll have to research that one.
 
  • #699
Nice! I really like yous ceph! Mine is still a baby :(
 
  • #700
acid reflux.. that made me laugh so hard chocolate milk came out my nose.
You crack me up Mach.

Thanks Mark. Still just a baby, but I hear it's a tough grow.. so happy about it's current condition.
