Recent Garden Acquisitions

[Darlica]

We have a little blue and red plastic poison dart frog at our house. Could this be another mysterious sibling coincidence? 

I think there is no mystery to it at all...
We all seem to still be in contact with out inner child and like nature and science...  

What carnivorous plant species is best to deal with fruitflies and flour moths?

For the flour moths, no idea as they don't go for sweet or sour smells. We simply hunt them and feed them to the plants.
For fruitflies I suppose they have to emit a slightly sweet/sour smell like rotten fruit. Some sort of sundews perhaps.

They tore up both of my gardens  :(The pond is gone along with all the lillies and irises and weigelias and lilacs and rhododendrons and etc.
Alas , grass is now in the rear yard which will fail just like it always does for want of sunlight.
The hostas required very little sunlight and was doing well back there .

But this sort of thing is what my real estate agent always does to a house up for sale .
I can't bear to watch , so I have moved out of the house and am currently renting a room by the week .

An old chum from my childhood works for the city's water conservation program . He has been at the job for decades now and physically helped me engineer the water gardens on weekends.All that work gone .

That's horrible!
I'm with Opsa here, if anything a garden like the one you had would have drawn me in rather than repelled me. But then I'm allergic to conformity.

Allergic to conformity! I love that. I share that allergy with ya, Sib!
