General BS forumI guess this will be for anything that would seem to be off topic in any other forum here. Just general shootin' the breeze kind of topics.
Connie and I are getting into a new hobby/interest.
Took some pics of the initial carnivorous plants we have. They are still in their original pots, as the tub we set up still needs more rain water to fill it before it will be ready to transplant the plants into it. Getting rain today, so maybe that will be enough. Otherwise will have to dip into the distilled water supply we have.
The flytrap has been inside for a few months, and really needs to be outside in the sunlight. Just got the sundew a few days ago in the mail, and picked up the pitcher plant from a local nursery yesterday. Got them all just sitting on the porch right now to acclimate them to stronger light before putting them into direct FULL sun.
Got more on order, as I'm getting a variety of samples to play with.
I sure do hope that they find mosquitoes to be tasty.
Yeah, probably so. Certainly the mosquitoes seem to be handing around the mini-bog we made up. They just have to hurry up and grow big enough to eat them. I'm still waiting on more to show up, but they aren't going to be very big, neither. But certainly there is no lack of bugs here in north Florida, so if their growth is directly related to how much they eat, I think we're in for some MONSTER carnivorous plants behind the garage....
Well, I went and put a piece of fairly wide meshed burlap over top of the plants in my mini-bog to try to filter the sunlight a bit. I may move a couple of the others into the bogette to see how they fare there. Got the newer ones on the porch to just catch a bit of morning sunlight, but they still look pretty puny from their short stint in FULL sun.
