Subject: Simulating Darlingtonia seepage

Hello all,

   Talk of growing cool loving Darlingtonia in a warm climate has got me
thinking, has anyone attempted to set-up a growing system whereby the
water in Darlingtonia pots is circulated, somewhat reproducing the seepage
effect they often grow in naturally? If not, I know it would be really simple
to set-up, and the reservoir from which you pump the water back into the
Darlingtonia pot could be heavily insulated, even buried in the ground, filled
with ice water, etc.

Just my two cents.

Chris
