That's fabulous.
If you do the follow up sign, that'll be the most fabulous. Please do.
The pitcher plant and the orchids all came from one or the other of the flower shops in Noe Valley. (Either the one with the parrot, or the one with the crazy lady. I forget.)
The orchids are doing well. They're temperamental in some ways, but quite tolerant in others. I once stole an orchid from the greenhouse of this evil couple I worked for (as a caretaker, nominally; as a peon, in practice, since the couple had been some sort of Polish nobility back in the day, and had brought their early-twentieth-century-feudal attitudes with them), and it survived for almost two years with no attention from me whatsoever. I mean, it didn't thrive, but it stayed alive.
I'm doomed with the bog. But the payoff.... Have you ever seen a North American pitcher plant flower? It's amazing.
Thanks y'all.
Don Barbapoca: That's where I had it (cf. the happy sarracenia photo), but I read, in a couple places, that they need to have a normal winter simulated for them, which means dark and cool. I dunno though.
Now you're just showing off...
