The B(l)og

​

What do peaches have to do with carnivorous plants? Other than the idea that if peaches were carnivorous, they would. be. AWESOME, not much. But peaches come in two types: freestone and cling. And so do the dead leaves and stems of Sarracenia that I am currently in the midst of removing in preparation for the growing season. Let's call them freestem: those plants whose petioles (leaf stems) are easily removed with a finger pull; and cling: those whose petioles need to be cut to remove.

Why is the "L" in parentheses in Blog? First, I like parentheses. They're perfect for commemorating the near constant asides that are the hallmark of my writing "style". Second, this is a website about (primarily) carnivorous plants and carnivorous can (but not always do) live in bogs. So it's a blog about bogs (in a sense), or b(l)og. See what I did there?

Don't know much - ok, anything - about HTML coding, or WordPress or ... anything related to website development and management. I've been toying with the idea of creating a website to showcase my photography and plant collection since 2001. Thankfully the technology seems to have more-or-less caught up to my lack of skills. Thanks, Wix.
