| I'll be back in a flash to fix it right. Part 1 This was the humble beginnings of my bog garden , thanks to RRM who sent me my first one. It was the pitcher plant in there and then Seray sent me seeds of the Cobra plant and I was so excited I went and bought the little sundew. You would think all is well with this world, well let me tell you it aint. My sundew just up and croaked.

| Part 2 Well, this just made me sad and when I got over it, Seray felt sorry for me and sent me a little red sundew. That was the second one for me and soon it was so happy it made not 1 but 2 babies. Made my day since they was the 2 that got me addicted for these plants. Then here we go and you think all is good now, well it aint. I got to thinking and figured we needed a contest to show our bog gardens and see all the cute ways to make them and when I start looking at all them plants I never seen before, my addiction swelled up and I had to get in on a co-op where someone, I want call his name cause he reads on here but it could start with Cody , and I ordered 1 of all his. Now they aint come yet because I was late sending in the money cause I always miss the postoffice when it decides to grace us with a open sign outside, but it is on the way so I'll have more brothers and sisters for my babies soon. ..........

| Part 3. Well the pitcher plant RRM sent me bloomed and I really got the fever so since I know someone with access to bunches of these babies and all other kinds of them plants, I asked if she would send me some and she said yes, so now I got to wait again for them to arrive. Now you think all is well with my world again??? well it aint. Them that know me know I aint got no patience for waiting so I just bit off all my fingernails. Now you think I out of stuff to do to get more plants??? No I aint! I got new catalogs in the mail just today and I reading right now. So now you think all is well?........ (look for part 4 later.)

| Now here is the bigger version of my new bog garden. The other one was too small when all my new babies started showing up.
|
|
|||
| Got the peat moss and pearlite mixed up and watered down and soaking getting ready to put all my new babies into. When I get all them planted, I'll add the moss on top to cover the dirt looking mixture. (The tub is knee deep and about 3-4 feet around, it is one of those size 303 tubs we used to use when we had a wringer type washing machine and we used the tubs to put clean water in to rinse all the clothes. ) I figured it would hold a lot of plants, but you know what? It still a little bit small for all my babies. But they scrooched in now and snuggling up to keep warm. Next picture will show the plants and how it looks now before the moss gets in and it gets decorated.

| OK, Part 4. Here is my bog after putting the plants in there and now waiting to get the moss to scatter around on the top of the soil mix and then will add the "toys" to make it purdy and wa-la. NOW you think all is well with my little world, well yes it is. The bog is almost finished and hopefully the last plants to arrive will ?LIVE? and my babies will begin eating all my nasty mosquitoes. Yes, the world looks pretty good right about now. Now if CUBITS can survive all the turmoil it is going through, we will be just perfect again! Stay tuned to part 5- final picture. |

Part 5 These are the plants I got from codys coop, And a S. Minor from RRM and a Darlingtona Californica from Seray and a white Star Grass and 2 water iris and a bog plant-tall blooms yellow in the back ground, and a cutting I'm trying to root of the red brug. that broke off my big plant.

| Well hello again. I went to my mail box today and there was another box in there from Seray with a load of more bog plants. I scrunched them all in there so they would be happy as little bog plants should be. Here is another picture of it with my new plants.

| Here is a close up of a new one. Look at that cute bloom!

Right at the tale end of that little blue butterfly is the other new one... Soooo cute all sitting on guard just like a big ferrer looking for bug! Ain't it amazing!?!

| Here is my bog right now. It seems to be better now that it is raining more and a little cooler outside. Also everything has had time to get stable from all the shipping around of the plants and handling them. I do have some brown tips in there but was just waiting for the plant itself to perk up and show more green and they are so I will probably cut some brown out soon.
