Hey Tony (and others).
Well, we should probably hold off on the congratulations until next =
spring! I give watti little to no chance here in this climate. Last =
year nepenthoides, speciosum, and other Himalayans bloomed then crashed =
- but I blame that on soil retaining too much moisture. Killed several =
that way. I'm trying a few again this year in different soil. It is =
interesting to note that the costatum blooming now is one of last =
summer's survivors, as is the amurense. I figure the Japanese varieties ==
should be easier for me in this climate. My urashimas and ringens have =
been kicking around here for almost 20 years now, the others are new but ==
I don't anticipate trouble from them. Probably shouldn't have said =
that.
I love to hear what everyone is growing, and its progress. I'd =
especially like to know what has worked - and what hasn't - for any of =
you folks in zones 7-9. I feel like I'm on a deserted island down here!
Thanks, Russell 8b
