Great pictures of the Sarcs!

Glad you liked them

My TDS out of the well runs approx 300, and the pH is right around 7.4, so pretty tough for many bog plants unless I dilute it 50/50 with rainwater (have to do it anyway for some of the fish I keep from softer water)....It works great as long as there's rain.

I'll have to do some digging (pun intended) and see what I can come up with. SFLguy, you may just get me growing pitchers yet....

One consideration is that a well designed bog will hold water for a long time once filled.

Someone down here waters his bog once a year

Nice pics everyone. Yea I have never seen a Spiranthes grow far from a bog or other source of standing water. Good luck with it.
