bucky78 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I thought I would post some pics of my bogs this spring. Most everything is in bloom now and pitchers are starting to opening. I didn't divide many plants this year as I wanted the bogs to look more full. I will post more pics once all of the pitchers are open. Pings and D. Filliformis with Leuco pitchers coming up Pings and D. Rotundifolia in sphagnum U. Subulata S. Red Blush Big S. Leah Wilkerson pitchers almost ready to open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel O. Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) Nice growing area , i wish my garden would be big enough for something like this and the climate too. But most i like P. lutea and P. primuliflora, or is it P. pumila. Best regards, Dani Edited May 5, 2008 by Daniel O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike King Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Thanks guys! I am thinking about adding 2 more! You still have a lot of lawn that could be filled with even more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsivertsen Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Looks like you have room for a 16' x 32' greenhouse too, just for Nepenthes! heh heh ... - Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky78 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I would love to have a greenhouse for Nepenthes but I would not want to heat it in the winter. It gets pretty cold here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diva Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 looking great but don't you have birds? the blackbirds in my garden would have that taken apart in minutes for grubs if it wasn't netted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky78 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 We have birds but they're not interested in the bogs. The only trouble I have are squirrels digging in them and burying their nuts! And then in spring, digging in them to fry to find their nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm82792 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Okay I'm completely just awe stricken, my barrel bog has been nailed by idiot siblings my flower(my only sarracenia flower) have been removed along with some of my plants that I constantly put back in.

bucky78 Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Here are some updated pics of the bogs and a few individual plants. I will post a few more pics in two or three weeks as things change pretty rapidly! Hope you like'em. The Bogs Bogs Bogs S. Copper Vase - Romanowski Hybrid, I just LOVE this plant! S. Excellens (Leuco Red x Minor Okee Giant) I got this one as Flava Ornata but I think it has something else in it, but I don't care it's a stunner! Group of S. Leah Wilkerson S. Leah Wilkerson, heads and shoulders above the rest at about 32" tall Close up of Leah Wilkerson S. Bud Wilkerson Another view of S. Bud Wilkerson S. Wilkerson's Red O.P.

bucky78 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Here are some pics of individual plants taken 5/24/08. Nice S. Moorei S. Flava Coppertop Another view of S. Flava Coppertop S. Flava Rubricorpora x Moorei Big Red - Select Clone Edited October 23, 2008 by bucky78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky78 Posted May 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Another Clone of S. Flava Rubricorpora x Moorei Big Red just coloring up! S. Flava Ornata S. Oreophila (Biggest pitchers I have ever seen!) S. Flava Ornata "Caramel Delight" Group of S. Moorei Big Red just opened and starting to color up S. Flying Nun (Flava x Oreo) x Purp (This pic doesn't do the plant justice. The hood is HUGE and at least two or three times the size of the mouth.) Just a pic that I took that I really like. You can see the Sarr pitchers and flowers and also flowers of P. Caerulea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
