Do you plan on adding more climbing opportunities? I researched them at one time but do not have any yet. I'd love to get one.

Leafhead replies on Sep 10, 2018:

I have one more Tillandsia tree I might add to the enclosure. Otherwise, I think the plants in there now will grow to a good size

@Heidi68 Yes, all the Cucurbits (members of the Cucumber Family) have male and female flowers on one plant (monaceous). Each flower lasts 1 day. The females become the long, skinny bitter melons

Justjoni comments on Sep 7, 2018:

You must have a green ARM! I recall seeing my first sundew, a rarity, in an iron-rich fen on the side of a mountain at about 9,700 ft in the Colorado Rockies. Very cool carnivores!

Leafhead replies on Sep 7, 2018:

The trick is New Zealand sphagnum moss, *distilled* or rain water and full sun. Nature takes over from there. That's a good recipe for most carnivorous plants. I keep mine outdoors in Summer and it helps itself to bugs drawn to the security light. In Winter I bring it in and let it eat fungus gnats and occasional fruitflies

Three moths on my morning screen door

Insectra comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Can't tell you what the first one is--I suck at the micros. The second one is a looper; soybean looper, I think. The last one is a beauty, the implicit arches (Lacinipolia implicata). I had one show up to a sheet on Sunday night, I just haven't had a chance to get the pics off my good camera yet....

Leafhead replies on Sep 6, 2018:

I just happened to see some bunched up leaves and there it was. Upon closer examination, I found at least 10 on my big Indigo Bush.

One for you, Insectra.

Insectra comments on Sep 6, 2018:

Cucullia asteroides, goldenrod hooded owlet moth. Not sure if this is an earlier instar than the really beautifully colored caterpillars, or if this is just one color morph. Some of the caterpillars are spectacularly colored with red and black and yellow.

Senecio cephalophora, two views

dede18 comments on Sep 6, 2018:

those tiny buds, in the first pic ... are they the buds which haven't opened yet, or the little seedpods? Senecio is a succulent, correct?

Leafhead replies on Sep 6, 2018:

Senecio is a composit, like Marigolds or Dandelions. Those are tiny buds ready to open into something like a red dandelion. The leaves and stems are succulent. Placed next to an Echeveria and the two are indistinguishable until bloom. It grows in clumps and is easily divided

@NothinnXpreVails I am glad you have your two best friends, your dogs. They are the best companions going. They stay close when times get rough. Enjoy solitude, but please be careful not to become swallowed up by it. Your words make me very sad, and I empathize wholeheartedly. I would lie awake at night asking God why he'd take a saint like Charles over an idiot like me. I thought the world of my 2nd partner. I am no stranger to loss. I lost a sister and two partners. Charles died in my arms, at home where he wanted. I thought it would break me, but it made only me stronger. It gets better after 2 to 3 years. I wish you health and happiness in life in spite of your great loss.
