There is no Bog

Roll. You'll have to hold it in or use kitchen roll in its stead.

1. Here are some bog plants:

My new hobby...carnivorous plants. I'm such a freak. :)

2. You do realise

that 'bog' is British slang for the commode, - and that the idea of keeping a carnivorous plant in one is a bit macabre?

Have you named it "Bobbit?"

4. You do realize that...

Bog is the Russian word for "God"?

I'm not making this up.

6. Yep...and in fact

The bog is housed in my 'bog' since it has a skylight and is one of the brightest rooms in the house. :)

3. Cool plants

Sarracenia purpurea, some sort of Drosera and what appears to be a butterwort (I had to look that up to refresh my memory --never seen a flower before either). What about the skinny pitcher plants, are they a different Sarracenia species?

9. Cool

I see a drosera rotundifola, or something similar, sarracenia purpurea, and some other sarracenia pitcher plant.

Do you have a copy of The Savage Garden? If not, I'd highly recommend it.

After we buy a house, I'm planning to put a bog garden in back, with a selection of sarracenia.

Thanks for the book title. I'll look for it.

Yep. Sarracenia's, a sun dew (drosera?) and a butterwort. I'm contemplating a napthene as my next purchase.

10. But there are no curtains in the kitchen!

How am I supposed to waddle in there with my pants down?

Waddaya mean, I should have checked before I started?
