Pics of my "mini bog" at home.

Here is a picture of my mini bog I have back home in seattle, it's the winter so there isn't much growth, but you can see some remaining pitchers from the last growing season.

The Japanese Earthquake

Hey all!

I know this is a blog about carnivorous plants but I have to post this tonight.

I use to live in Japan, in the Fukushima prefecture, one of the harder hit places by the tsunami and by the earthquake itself, and my prayers go out to all those that remained there and to all those that were affected by the earthquake. Also, as we speak the two nuclear power plants in the fukushima prefecture, plant 1 and plant 2 are on their way to a meltdown, and I hope that they manage to stop the reactors, and that we do not have an ecological disaster along with a natural disaster.


I'll post more about carnivorous plants later, but this is it for now.
