Your welcome, Barry. They are just as addictive to clone as figs. Celt- You'll have your own in a few days. I'll pick some nice pitcher plants for you. Terra forums is a good resource on CP care. __________________ Jason V Egg Harbor Twp., NJ/ Zone 7 Wishlist: Nothing.

Jason I'm just as interested in you eating a steak as much as the plants. __________________ http://sumosteaks.com/

Very cool. I've been considering adding those to the indoor jungle. Gnats about drove me crazy last year. Fly strips are just not very attractive.

You're right Sue those are several different Sundews and a cool looking Butterwort. Sundews and butterworts work great for fungus gnats.

nice collection there barry. my sundew gets water whenever i feel like looking at it. they seem to grow without much attention.. it seems there are few more gnats around. it's being well fed. __________________ Pete Durham, NC Zone 7b "don't talk to me about naval tradition.

Those are so neat. I got some sundews from a forum member and repurposed one of those old turtle bowls. I filled it with (dry) sphagnum moss soaked well in distilled water and plunked in the plants. they did the rest. Whenever it begins to look less than wet, I add a little water from the dehumidifier. Darn things are colonizing. One even trapped a house fly. I think they are eyeing the dog, who should be warned. __________________ Dale non compost mentis in Zone 6a
