S Magee Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 To begin with, some red dragon starting to flower Since joel asked to see pics of my growing area, I thought I'd post a few BE WARNED, some are not pretty, others can be downright ugly! >_< (But most are really nice....) This is a swimming pool we keep our plants in Swimming pool 1 Pool 2 Here are some Oreophila in a bed This bed is mostly alata, but it does have some alata hybrids in it, including oreox alata A little closer to it now Here is a "holding bed" one that just holds water so we can sit pots in. Here is a bog orchid Calopogan Tuberous (I think I spelled that right ) AKA grass pink orchid, I plan on trading some later this year when they go dormant Pm if your interested... Who will win the epic battle of Super fast growing dixie lace, or the dreaded yellow eye grass (xyris) Vote now! Here is a yellow VFT that sprung up from seed. I like it... This bed is very special, it has tons of sarra hybrids + lots of other plants too! Lots of colors in this pic! A little closer in that bed reveals a hidden trap among the fern Here is another bed full of hybrids This bed is 100% peat, we didn't have any sand late last year... Here is the other half More pools, pool #3 And pool 4 Pool 5 Pool 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarracenia x Starry Night A Very special hybrid bed, some of the plants in here could be cultivars someday..... (Hopefully!) A Rubricorpa Hybrid, something chewed a hole in it... grrrrrrr Here is another Rubracorpa hybrid (already posted pics of this one earlier this year but I like it...) Here is a Rubra hybrid, its pubsecent (hairy) Did I spell that right?? This hybrid has a funny shaped mouth.... Here is another holding area. LOOK AT THE ALA ON THIS GUY!?!?!?!?!?! Red lid (Alata?)

cehash Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 incredible! just out of curiosity, how much time it takes to water all the plants ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S Magee Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Watering takes between 5 and 8 hours if we are watering all of the plants and we do it anywhere from 1 to 3 times a week, and we are in a pretty nasty drought right now but as long as we get some rain soon...... maybe our well won't run dry (again). Last year we basically went 4 months without any substantial rain.... People in the UK are lucky they get it as much as they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
