Rachel, you always share such informative shows, honest and real, from your passion... Thankyou for all. ✨💖✨
Wow! The updates on these guys are freaking insane! Crazy how much thing’s grew this season! Cheers Rachel!!!
I was stoked!
@@RachelOLeary :
Hey Rachel: two things to help your Carnivorous Plants next spring/summer:
*Morel Mushrooms* th-cam.com/video/v9yjlif2ezo/w-d-xo.html
and the *Giant Stink Flower!* th-cam.com/video/4MMj5WXPYpQ/w-d-xo.html
You put these in the middle of your Bog Garden, your Pitchers, Sundews, and Fly-Traps will love you forever! Enjoy! *_:D_*
Good to hear and see you
Wow all of your set ups are amazing. Can hardly wait for a spring update on your bogs!! Gorgeous!
I do not see how I missed your video. 4 days ago. Glad I got to see you overwinter the barrel. Wasn't sure if I was doing my bathtub right till then. Thanks so much for doing this video. 👍
You and the bog are both looking lovely. Stay warm!
Your Bog Gardens looked so amazing this year!💚💚💚💚
I'm excited to see what happens next!!
Thank you!
Great to see how much they've grown. It's neat that there are some locals to share your splits with next year.
You are great. Thank you. Honestly I got a new job and knew I wasn't going to be able to keep up with my tanks. You made me feel okay to take a step back and prioritize everything and realize it was time to move on and not kill myself with guilt and gifted my tank and fish to people who had more time so I could succeed at other things. You made me feel okay about that. Thank you.
I am so glad
Rachel, Thank you for all your bog info on TH-cam! Also, thank you for the one on one info you so generously shared via FB messenger. My bogs came thru the winter and are simply gorgeous! They were way ahead of local growers that didn't cover. Also, for only being started late summer 2021 , they look like they've been there for years. Gilda
Looks like it's done beautifully this year especially!!! Good weather and getting established. Thank you for sharing these. This is good inspiration for a new pond, marginal and bog for next year. Love the updates and how to sharing! Seeing you do it makes it seem easier.
It's also pretty cold in Southwestern PA right now. Love the old sinks you use, I remember that video and glad they are still serving a purpose.
yeaa i'm also overwintering some pond plants today 🥶. thanks rachel!
Your bog went Crazy this year!! The flowers were spectacular this time as well. The pitchers look so nice it hurts to cut them... 😅 All tucked in for the winter. ☃️ How are the orchids doing Rachel?? Have a blast on your next trip!!! Thanks for the update too..... 🎉👍
They are doing great!
@@RachelOLeary That's Fantastic!! So glad to hear it. I hope they're filling your room with color and joy. 😀
Yayyy I love seeing that little notification that TH-cam gives me when you post, I'm always excited for new content from you, good luck with this winter!!!
fantastic info! I appreciate you sharing this knowledge with us
just wanted to say thank you. I didn't know the Alita Air pumps and was able to replace 2 100w pumps with one Alita 60 and ended up with more air.
Also, pine litter is acidic, which will benefit bog plants as rain and snow trickle through!
I think I need one of these next year 😸
Wealth of knowledge as always hope you doing well...
Love you so much, thanks for sharing. I started some purpurea from seed last winter and I’m hoping they make it through this winter up north in Alberta (zone 3b)
I'm setting up a pond and bog garden now and totally plan to grow some of these guys!
Do it! Holler if you have any questions
Thanks for sharing that aspect of plant care.
In the susqhana around the locks area, theres a sundew that endemic to that area only
👍😎 I saw a “Ted Talk” that had something to do with Venus Fly Traps communicating with each other. I thought of you while watching it and forgot to ask if you’ve seen it. Can’t remember details but do recall that it was really cool. ✌️
Cold in England too......
Looks good 👍
Sheesh I don't even want to think about the cold yet I'm in MN & it's not that cold here yet probably in the 40s but heard we might have a warm winter but could be wrong
I always love the bog updates! I've been seriously working on my own small bogs on my balcony this year, and despite the horrible summer we had, they did okay. I'll be getting ready to insulate them very soon.
In your opinion, do I need to keep an eye on the water level in the bog during the winter, like I do in the summer? Since they are on my balcony, they don't get rain, so I need to be on top of it manually.
I noticed you don't have pinguicula in the bogs, do you not like them?
I dont bother with watering in yhe winter unless it's been profoundly dry, you don't want a frost heave but on an insulated balcony you may need to pay more attention to the water levels.
I went to the ren faire in Mt.Hope a couple weeks ago and spotted a lantern fly on the floor. Stood up to stomp on it. A lady gave me a disturbed look, so I told her it was invasive. She then looked understanding and asked if it was a spotted lantern fly. When I said yes, she nodded her head approvingly.
I ended up killing dozens there, and got people to join in and help!
My desktop picture on my computer is the pic I took of pitcher plants in Algonquin park at the Brent Meteor crater.
Thats amazing. I am camping in NC tomorrow where VFT grow native
Hi Rachel. I've been following the development of your bog gardens, brilliant!
Advice please, I've created a deep indoor bog in a large deep planter. No drainage but a deep base of charcoal. The bog is consuming all the water added. Do I still water over the next coming months? I have no heating just a mini electric heater which is seldom used. Large E S W facing bay window.
Interesting
This is so inspirational - I’d love to have a big bog like this too!
Just got my first Venus fly trap a few weeks ago, and it’s starting to die back as it gets colder in the Pacific Northwest. It’s in a very small pot though (like 4”) so I’ll not too sure how to winterize it and still be able to check on it.
Some folks toss them in an unheated garage/shed. When they are under 45 degrees, they aren't growing.
@@RachelOLeary Thank you! I’ll have to try that.
Great ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Thank you ♡

♫ See you 🌺 Stay connected
"Its so cold" Phrase of the day ... FOUR TIMES! , I counted FOUR TIMES HAHA 🤣🤣
It was really cold!
@@RachelOLeary It was cold here in CT as well ... stay warm!
I’m in Cali and it gets about 30-40 degrees at its coldest in my area I want to make a guppie pond would they survive a winter?
👍
Those plants are gorgeous, even in their partially dried up phase. You have piqued my interest in carnivorous plants for sure!
Where do you aquire your carnies? I haven't even tried to look yet, but if you have a place you trust, it might narrow things down for me.
Same basic climate as you, I'm guessing. Northwest Illinois here.
I am a member of a regional cp club. I also have carnivorousplantnursery.com an hour or so away. I prefer to buy from my same planting zone
Have any of your pitcher plants ever made seeds? I only have 3 plants but this year they put out 8 flowers in total and I was hoping they would make seeds, they flowered last year but nothing came of it, I tried cross pollinating them this year but their pollen is in like big chunks, you can't sort of dab it with a brush so I just sorta collected it and threw it into the other flowers lol Nothing seems to have happened.
I see a ton of seeds within the flowers of mine
@@RachelOLeary I have none :( I wondered whether I might not have the right kind of insects around here for them, I've never seen anything go for their flowers but I did see a cockroach in there once but... I don't think cockroaches are pollinators...
Great video also have you ever had bladderwort in an aquarium
Not on purpose but yes
@@RachelOLeary yeah i found a few strands on my java moss and they like to eat small organisms like daphnia and copepods
does the wind not blow it all away , im in the UK now is the time we get really high winds and rain and frost , if the plants were in tubs would they be ok inside a brick built building with not much light and would they still need covering . ive put my strawberry plants in there as the temps can get down to -8 F through the night. i hate the cold weather tbh.
Since they don't grow when dormant, the light isn't important until the temp threshold for growing it at 45f/7c. I don't have issues with it blowing away, but they are all sort of wedged together. You could certainly secure it if needed
@@RachelOLeary ok thanks Rachel
Hey Lady, I recently heard tell of a full aquatic mushroom 🍄 that grows in Colorado. Do you know anything about them?
I do not sorry
wow that is very interesting
hey how are u haven't heard form you for a while now.
SQIRLS ... Girls-With Beaver-Tails (>(*U^)
So you just quasi-randomly hack the tops out of the plant and thy recover the next year? I will never understand the whole plant world 🤣
In the spring, I cut them down even further (except the purpurea types). Seems to put the energy into flowering then kicks the pitcher growth into high gear.
@@RachelOLeary That's amazing! I often wonder how these plants ever survived in the wild (obviously our climates wouldn't have allowed that species to grow here as a perennial so it's not a relevant quandary) but hey, if it works, it works. That's why I watch these things.
