Where's the stand of Opuntias man?? Nice pics- did you make certain that John B clarified the antho-free-ness of that D.intermedia btw??
Seriously tho, thank you for your efforts, I know you are a humble-type dude but seriously, I don't know if any of us would be here now (on a Canadian-based CP forum) were it not for your efforts in the early going

Awesome bog!! How long did it take for you to build up your collection, if I may ask?

Thanks for the props guys. As far as time it took to build the collection.... I'd say maybe 10 years or so. Most of my collection was built about 20 years ago now... I still make new additions from time to time but they need to be pretty special.
As far as set up time.. Maybe 3 days or so to get the pools dug in and planted I'm planning on digging up the pools and replacing them with lined trenches. That was I can spread them out a bit. Things are getting cramped.

Looks amazing man, I ended up using your exact same method with the kiddie pool and holes lol it was even the same colour haha
And a big thank you is in order for being one of the trail blazers in Canada for this awesome hobby.

KD
The only non carnivore in the area is the voodoo lily you see. In the bogs are an amazing array of Sarracenia with a bunch of VFT's all over. There is also a bunch of d. Filiformis. There are also some drosera binatas. Yep they survive winter just fine. There is also a few all green drosera intermedia. That's it. Oh I found a stray drosera capensis. I think it also came through the winter last year. If I find it again I know it is pretty damn hardy.
