Hi everyone. Wow it's been a long time. I'm so sorry I poofed like that. My hard drive crashed and after a month with no contact and my life getting more and more hecktic at school I just didn't get my lazy bumb over here. I hope I did not scare, upset, sadden, enrage or worry anyone.
All that being said I have been trying to keep up my collection although I had some losses over the summer from "events". The Good news is I have also had some great successes. My Ceph is climing out of it's pot, litterally, as are several other plants. I nursed my ailing vfts back to health... although I still do not know for surtain why two of them suddenly crashed, and I am taking a wetland plant class and learning a bit more about plants that live in bogs in general.
Oh and my purple pitcher plant I grew from seed now makes mature adult traps and has devided it's itty bitty rhysome. I'm transplanting it this winter... er expanding the the amount of soil around it's little floating peat pellot, lol.
I was also able to collect some native sphagnum from a bog loaded with D. rotundifolia and S. Purpurea so I have my fingers crossed I got a seed or two in the process. If not I at least have the material to start a little outdoor bog with now
Thats about it for news from me. Other then my classes are eating me alive. I hope everyone has had a great spring/summer.
