Outdoor bogs

[Capslock]

Hey, here's my outdoor bogscape as it stands today. Spring is finally here in San Francisco after a long, wet winter. I'm about to relandscape, and a lot of this is going into a bog area around a pond I'm putting in down in the yard. But the tub stays, and the nepenthes stays.

Here's a closeup of the tub. All the rain made the perlite float to the top, and I think I'll collect a bunch of it and remove it, because it's kinda ugly:

Very nice plants
A quick question: Where are the nepenthes you grow outside and what types, I cant see any?

and your closeup of the tub is the same picture as the first.

I also like the Bonsai.

Whoops, corrected now! Sorry about that.

The only nepenthes out there is a N. rajah in the square wooden container towards the right side. I'm going to try some others this year out there. Can't decide which yet. Maybe N. lowii, maybe a hybrid or two. It's always cool here, so I have to find one that likes cool temps.

Wow you are really lucky to be able to grow Rajah outside. I pretty picky plant I understand, and outside theres so much room to let the monster grow.
N. Lowii would be neat too, good luck.
