Nepenthes Nut Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I wouldnt be surprised if the D. Capensis re sprouts, it usualy does die back to its roots, resprouting when it is warm again. Unless you have found the decaying roots you might get it popping up son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dom1234 Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Well, Drosera Capensis don't like -35 Celsius (-10F) for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sheila Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I'll still be surprised if it does not make a comeback in a few weeks time. capensis is bombproof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimfoxy Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Thanks for posting - very interesting. I will be venturing on a bog garden soon (picked up (not on my own!) my giant Belfast sink last night - just have to get it out of the car now).

Stevie D Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Yeah, I had D. capensis outdoors and unprotected last winter. I thought it had been killed deader than dead, and yet every scrap of it is sprouting fresh green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olly_k Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 your bog has a great deal of potential - get some more of the plants that died last winter in know and they may establish and become a little more hardy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Crane Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 I have picked up a few butler sinks in my youth when excitement got the better of me.. I have been known to walk a mile and a half carying one of em.....whilst lifting one last year I suddenly realised they are quite heavy and have refrained from collecting them when I see them chucked out... unless I have a car handy that is!! Mind you we have one of them dating to 1944 in our new kitchen that doubled as a pond for a few years... marvellous things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dom1234 Posted June 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 Some pics from today: 23 Juin 2006: Sorry, my peat bog is flooded (a violent storm). I find a cheap solution (but it works well). Added some plants: Drosera binata, Sarracenia flava ornata and cuprea, Sarracenia minor. Sarracenia purpurea flower: Sarracenia purpurea: Drosera binata: Sarracenia minor: Drosera filiformis: Yes, flowers soon: Sarracenia leucophylla: Sarracenia Judith hindle: Sarracenia Oreophylla: Drosera Intermedia: Sarracenia Flava var Ornata: The two Flava: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setep Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Your plants seem to be weathering the storm. I've seen flytraps in the wild growing under water. Good luck with your current and potential flowers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dom1234 Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Here some news on this 21 July 2006. All Drosera are producing flowers (and Dionaea in a few days). Everything is growing well, except Sarracenia 'Judith hindle' and Leucophylla 'Danas Delight'. They are making only small pitcher. The only one Utricularia Intermedia in my water spot (Grrr, these birds!) didn't grow at all since this spring. The two Drosera Burmanii that I put in my peat bog (just for the fun) grow well Drosera Filiformis Drosera intemedia and Sarracenia Oreophylla Drosera intermedia Drosera rotundifolia Flowers everywhere! Dionaea et Dionaea Akai Ryu flowers Sarracenia leucophylla 'Danas delight' Utricularia livida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dom1234 Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Even if we had 38 Celsius for two days last week, we can still find snow (that place was a snow dump this winter, so there was a lot of snow). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockhom Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hello Dom ! Your bog will soon be very nice! There's no doubt much progress. I remember you laying on the hole you dig in one your first pics! It's an epic memory! What are the temperatures experienced by your peat bog in winter? Do you have to set a shelter or something like that? Friendly, François. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dom1234 Posted July 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 What are the temperatures experienced by your peat bog in winter? Do you have to set a shelter or something like that? Temperature: -10F for a week (-35 Celsius) To protect the plants, I just added a layer of dead leaves (10cm) and a piece of <plastic>.

dom1234 Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) Here some news. Sarracenia purpurea caught a misterious mortal disease (pitchers make lots of little red dots, and then die). It look like Sarracenia oreophylla got it too. Everything's okay for others. Drosera Intermedia et Rotundifolia already started to make winted buds. Utricularia livida: Drosera filiformis: Dionaea muscipula Drosera Intermedia: Drosera binata: Sarracenia leucophylla Danas delight: Sick Sarracenia purpurea : Pinguicula grandiflora: Edited June 7, 2008 by dom1234 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
