After Hours

The shower curtain with fake blood streaking down it, and the bath mat with bloody footprints.
Think Psycho. It's been that sort of Monday.

That's not good... :( hopefully the rest of the week is better.
I wouldn't mind having one of those as well for Halloween ]:)

My office is less than 100 yards from the lake and less than that to a creek that by this time tomorrow will be 10-20 feet over its banks.
Just commenting on the weather. Nothin' to see here. Move along.

Your Bay trumps my lake. We do have lots of deeply wooded areas that are had to get to and quite a few sink holes.
Nah, I'm lazy. Too much effort, plus I have allergies, and that would take me out to where the pollen is.

We seen one on the show and decided we should have one :) .
And yes, cement is always useful

Though I now have to get another Sonic Screwdriver as there is one I don't have. :_|
As for Growing Carnivorous Plants from seed that's very hard with most. Things like Venus Fly Traps don't germinate at all well though the Sarracenia and Sundew are easy to germinate the Cobra Lilly is extremely difficult to keep alive even in a Air-conditioned Office as they need cool Roots to grow where as the others need warm roots to grow. They also need to remain damp as apposed to wet and in a Terrarium that is something very hard to achieve. ;)
Currently I'm in the process of buying Endoscopes so I can do Internal Examinations on those I dislike. So come on Low Cost Conolospocies, [i]I have a 27 Meter Endoscope and for the females Cervix Examinations with a 1 Meter Endoscope.[/i]
I can also use the small one to look inside engines as the Camera Head is only 9mm in Diameter. :^0
These go along with the Doctors Examination Couches that I acquired a while ago so I have a new business opportunity. :D :^0 :D :^0 :D

That some of the seeds do not do well with refrigeration it kills them and even the Cobra Lilly doesn't require refrigeration to germinate but to grow them it's a different story. The VFT's on the other hand do and they are extremely difficult to grow from seed. I have yet to find anyone with success in growing them that way. Tissue Culture or Cuttings is very successful but seed isn't.
Here I have seen people modify fridges to circulate cool water through the Cobra Lillie's Potting mixture so that they can grow them and even then they place one pot inside another with Sphagnum Moss in the outer pot and Peat Moss in the inner pot to get the Peat cool enough so as not to kill the roots of the things.
The Trumpet Pitchers and Sundews should have grown even if the potting mix was too wet but with all terbiums you need to leave the lid off them for a few days to allow the potting mix to dry out and then place the lid back on to build up humidity. Though no matter what else the Potting Mix should have been pure Peat and you need to wet this first before placing it into the Pot. Not easy with Pure Peat you need to use Hot Water to get it wet properly and then wait a day or two before using it.
Seed is very hard to get Carnivorous Plants to grow from for a beginner you are much better starting out with plants not seed and even Tissue Cultured Plants just out of the tubes is a better idea for things like that.
While I do grow some Carnivorous from Seed that I produce mostly the Trumpet Pitchers/Sarracenia the germination rate isn't great so I could believe that none germinated.
