behold cpbobby's death (mini)bog

[cpbobby]

It is coming along nicely and was built entirely off the generosity of collectors. I have a few free spots for some sarrs and would like to get some more ground dwelling temperate sundews; (namely rotundafolia) to fortify the ground defenses and this thing will be right.

When the time comes I plan on making it a recirculating bog...which at the moment is just a loop but the groundwork has been laid.

Nice setup, can't wait to see it grow up.

 

[cpbobby]

thx for the dews....1 of them is flowering...can't wait will they start dropping seeds and really fill that badboy up. .

 

[That One Guy]

Wish I could have a bog, yours is really nice!

 

[cpbobby]

hey thanx....it is still a work in progress...but overall I am very happy with it so far.

 

[Sundrew]

Looks awesome! I've always wanted to have a huge bog pot. Are you thinking about covering the surfaces with moss?

 

[Lil Stinkpot]

Looks very promising. Keep us up to date!

 

[cpbobby]

perhaps once the plants get a little larger to provide a more dense cover for the sunlight so the moss can grow. ill wait 1 or 2 seasons to get more drosera in there and hopefully some dionaea at some point .

I see potential! :grin:

 

[cpbobby]

lol yep I want it to be thick, lush and deadly to any insect who is brave enough to go after that sweet nectar. I need to try to get a bunch of dionaea and temperate drosera to guard from ground attacks and the bog will be complete. Other than making it a recirculating bog; only other goal is to get about 6 more grown sarrs in there to swap them around some like when all of these make mature pitchers I need to decide what I like/stays and what I do not like/goes to a new minibog.

Overall I think I am closer to the end than the beginning. Last thing is to List what is in there and give credit to my benefactors.

I think some nice D. intermedia would look good in there.

 

[cpbobby]

oh yeah...I definitely need to work on adding some low growing temperate dews like rotundafolia and intermedia and a few dionaea as well. Once I get a good primary layer; I will just let everything flower and let nature take care of the rest as far as filling up the bog. pollination however might be a problem in the future...all the bees will be killed before they can do their job....lol

 

[Rocketcaver]

I have a pretty thick forest of filiformis and intermedia, they seem to get polinated ok despite the hazard.

 

[cpbobby]

I think drosera are self-pollinating.

very nice!
