How about some photos of the project? Curious to see how it's coming along.

It is the current state of the project. I had to move things around to plant the Pogonia.

I wanted to check on the plants today, and apparently greatly annoyed a couple of lizards.

Callitriche palustris new sprouts must be delicious, because they're gone.

For some reason I feel like that lizard was very mad and judgmental.

hahaha....f'ing lizards, man...they are little plant destroyers!!!

Mr.Fakename 03-10-2021 10:17 AM

Thankfully these ones aren't as big and destructive as yours!

Have you made progress in your battle against them?

They are really cute though. Not as cute as anoles, but... how did they get in there? And what in the world did you say to the one who’s giving you the stankeye?

Any updates Mr. Fakename? :)

Yes, it's starting to shape up!

The weather is still very cold, so growth is moderate. The orchid is only starting a second leaf, but its root system got enormous in the meantime.

The real star of the show is the Drosera!

those looks good, and that moss is incredible. could you maybe list up the bog species you are planning on using?? i have space for a few small plants in the bottom of mine, which is more or less a bog but i don’t really know what to put there. i have a paph on a higher, drier mound of sphag so far and it’s not looking the happiest....

would greatly appreciate it, thanks!
