I have to confess that this is one of my winter pastimes and it has had a resurgence this year. The fact that MrsG kept mentioning the numerous boxes of unpainted models in the attic etc and the largish collection of books on the Napoleonic Wars may have given a little impetus to my activity...
Yes, indeed, the one with the uncreative name has returned, with yet more questions. (I have sooooo many questions. :p)
Okay, I'm planning on ordering a Heliamphora minor. I do know that these plants are more difficult that plants like Venus flytraps or Drosera capensis. I have a setup waiting...
After a recent failure with Heliamphora, I considered setting up a highland terrarium, but out it off. Today I was kind-of spontaneously (I had a week's warning, really) given a teeny little Heli. and some Utricularia quelchii. Oh, boy-- I gotta DO something, and keep these alive. I had an Exo...
I just wanted to post a quick shot of my Dente seedlings. There are now 11! Woo!
That would be a dime for scale.
Close up.
These were taken on June 27th. Not much has changed since then but their numbers (from 9 to 11).
Hello der fellow carnivorous plant fanatics! So glad I found this site, now I finally have a place to talk about CPs without getting weird looks. Woo! I've been keeping various species for over 6 years now. Always loved em all but pings are my fav. Anyways, seeya out there I guess! :P
I came across this very interesting letter while researching Drosera that quite frankly makes
me smile. It's a publication from 1873 which compares the attractive dew of the Sundew to the temptations of sin.
Whether you be a religious man, or irreligious, it's still worth a read...

Hi Everyone,
I live in the western burbs of the Chicago area . My son and I started with CPs maybe 4-5 years ago. Right now I like my Ping Gigantea the best. It used to be Heliamphora Minor until I went off on a business trip and the plants didn’t get watered. H. Minor survived though...
Last tuesday i took a trip up to visit my friends to check out his plants and let him meet my new son, and couldnt resist taking a few pics....
N. inermis
N. veitchii
N. spectabilis North Sumatra (same clone as my boy, and is flowering in time with my girl, woo)
N. xBriggsiana

The terrarium shelf lights popped on today and I finally got to watch one of my spiny flower mantids during a molt, I believe it's a female. woo woo!
Here's some pics:
Finally, leg petals!
And here she is in her shiny new paint job, I didn't mist her, the fresh exo is naturally glossy!
Well since I let the cat outta the bag on the spray foam thread about my upcoming project I will show you the new material I'm going to build my double stack Highland vivarium and greenhouse terrarium out of.
This is called AZEK PVC Trimboard, which is a waterproof "wood" made from PVC...
Hey everyone,
The NECPS was priviledged to be the benfactors of a book signing an presentation from Stewart McPherson this Sunday past!
He accompanied us around a couple of bogs in Massachusetts, then signed his books for us. Awesome.
There were actually TWO presentations - one about his...
John McCain just chose Sarah Palin as his VP pic.
Either we will have our first black president or the countries first woman VP.
Personally I think this just took the wind out of Obama's sails. It surely solidified my vote for McCain!! He he he As if there was any doubt.
WOO HOO GOOOOOOO...
