Rick, I got the CPN just today, so don't give up hope. Since it's sent out
bulk mail, there seems to be quite a variation among receipt dates. Plus, I
don't know if they are all sent out at the same time.
I got a letter and some cp seed from Mike Chamberland last week. He hasn't
given up on finding an internet connection yet, so we may hear from him some-
time in the future.
I still have the problem with my Nepenthes leaf tips browning. Any suggestions
or ideas???
Our new place has lots of space for plants, but unfortunately most of it is
well shaded. It also has a fish pond/pool, about 5' in diameter and maybe 1.5'
deep. It is very yucky now, about half full of dead leaves, and appears to be
the favorite bathing spot for the
neighborhood dogs. I am considering eigher turning it into a utric pond, or
filling it up and making it a peat bog.
Since its position is completely shaded, I'm inclined to make it a utric pond.
Any and all suggestions about such an undertaking would be appreciated, since
I have very little experience in utrics, especially with aquatic ones. What
kinds of species will survive a freeze?
