Hi,
I've been subscribed to this list for a few days and thought I'd
best introduce myself:*) Where to begin...? Well I live in London and I've
a little bog garden in which grow Drosera rotundifolia, a few Sarracenia
(flava, purpurea, ?alata x catesbaei), Darlingtonia, and pinguicula
vulgaris. Although the surface area's small ~5ft square it's nearlt 3ft
deep so it dosn't dry out. Over the years the cobra is the plant that's
taken over with five or six runner plants over the bog.

Indoors/summer cold frame are a cephalotus, dionaea, U.livida, D.adelae and
P.grandifolia.
I'm also building a terrarium as I write.

I presume the best time to re-pot the cephalotus is autumn/winter, I was
advised by someone to include fallen oak leaves in the potting mix - any
comments on this?
Anyway 'nuff said for now, I may have some questions about lights for the
terrarium if I run into problems, if that's OK.

Anyway, bye for now. Iain.
