Bog garden update

Sorry if anyone is getting sick of looking at these but I have no where else to share and I'm in love with my bog garden.


Sarracenia alata




Sarracenia rubra this variety smells awesome, like raspberries and menthol


another form of S. rubra or one of the more recently split species, not sure but a favorite (Spiranthes cernua clump on left)


whole darned thing

I NEVER get sick of looking, just get sick that I don't have one just like it! I'm in love with your bog garden too - keep postin'!

I love your bog garden,too!! Very beautiful and very well kept!

Very nice Forrest, I'd love to see a few photos of the pitcher's when they mature. The rubra flowers are intense, the 'flava' form is one I had never seen before. Cool.

Some day, I want to try to put in a bog garden too.

I too would like to try it out someday. I'm sure your experience is or will be very useful to many of us.

wow!
great growin'!

I seem to bookmark these threads every time they come up, just to make *sure* I have pictures of your garden saved for the day I get a yard. I agree with everyone - your bog is super cool!

What a concentration of extravagant plants and blooms!!!! Bravo, excellent Imo!!!! Jean

Thanks for the update, are you going to burn it again this year?

I fully agree

I will never get tired of your bog! It is wonderful! I would love to have one in my yard. Is it full sun?

Looks great. Calopogons multiply at a steady rate and if you want a forest of them, then I recommend germinating some. They flask very easily and produce hundreds of plants per flask, no kidding.

I would never get tired of seeing that bog Forrest. Send some down south when it starts to outgrow the area

OMG, are you kidding, that's AWESOME!! Keep 'em coming. :clap:

You sure have your own little slice of heaven in your backyard... Very healthy sarracenias blooming their heads off!!

Keep those photos coming!

Do you have spikes coming up on the flytraps? I've never seen flytraps in flower before, and one of the plants in my little carnivorous planter has a spike going up on it.:clap:

Yeah, they are trying to flower right now, I pinch them off as soon as i see them because they take a lot of energy away from the plant. If left to develop seed, the inflorescences will prevent nice new traps from being formed. Plus they take forever to grow from seed nand the blooms aren't to amazing.

Good timing here! Our vft's are spiking too. I've never seen them bloom before and was curious. I guess we'll just pat ourselves on the back for making healthy plants, google it to see what the flowers would look like, then snip them off.
