Hello 2014

Posted on January 13, 2014 | Leave a comment

Hope everyone’s been having a good 2014 so far! Two weeks in there hasn’t been much plant action on this end – other than the massive cleaning and re-organizing efforts that are currently underway in The Asylum. Here’s a few snapshots of how my 2014 is going so far.

The Asylum. The left half of the house has been trimmed. I’ve taken The Dome down on the right and I’m currently finishing up construction of 3 more water tables.

Looking fresh and clean!

The wreckage of dead foliage. I still have a lot of work ahead!

Burnt out heads of anthocyanin-free formosa.

Special thanks to Karen Oudean for sending over some brilliant specimens of Darlingtonia californica – Coos Co., OR

Drosera binata var. dichitoma awake and unfurling new traps.

Some Drosera regia cleaned and potted up.

What is this madness?! Is that… a BUD?!

Sarracenia “Legacy” – new pitcher forming.

I love the way they light up at the end of the day!

A Visit to Flora Grubb Gardens + The Sarracenia Sink

Posted on June 5, 2012 | 9 comments

You may find this hard to believe – but this past weekend was my first time visiting Flora Grubb Gardens! (Better late than never, right?) Man, was I missing out! So glad that I finally got to see this impressive and phenomenal oasis of botanical goodness. Dahlia and I were truly inspired by the flora-radness. Many fellow gardeners – both carnie-heads and non-carnie-heads have told me about Jared Crawford’s amazing artistry with the Sarracenia sink display (photos below slideshow), and I figured it was time to finally go and check it out – along with the rest of Flora Grubb’s sheer magnificence! There’s so much to talk about that I could go on for days and days about it, but I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. Enjoy!

A few photos of Jared’s handiwork with the sink are below!
I am looking forward to many more visits. 🙂 Thanks again FGG for the botanical inspiration!
