A Proposal To My School

[edwardyeeks]

Dear Petpitcher members and all CPers...........

On 1.00pm, 26th of February, Edward Yee Kwan-Shuen, Shaneal Diiren who is the brother of Varhoon Vystra and Edward's geography teacher went for an important mission in Edward's school. Their mission was to discuss with the principal about growing carnivorous plants in Edward's school. However, the principal was not there and Edward and his mission team were forced to discuss with the Vice principal instead. Their mission turned out to be...........

A SUCCESS..........

Okok.........I know that was ridiculous. But it is true! I went with my friend and my geography teacher to talk to my vice principal, Madam Goh about growing carnivorous plants in my school.

We decided that a small patch in our school garden would suffice. I decided to dump a VFT and a drosera binata var multifida to test the conditions of the garden. Madam Goh seemed very interested and actually suggested to make a minibog instead of planting the CPs in pots.......

However, we have not confirmed about this completely yet. Madam Goh has laid this burden in our hands, and it is our duty to solve this problem, whether through rain or sunshine!

However, what is most important is that I hope all of you may spare some plants to be grown in our not-yet-confirmed-but-may-be school garden. A CP that will grow fast and easily will suffice. I am planning to give the VFT and the drosera one week's time to see whether the condition of the garden will suit for growing CPs.

May the plan succeed and may more schools will be poisoned! I am Edward Yee Kwan-Shuen and may the Force of CPs be with you.............

Cheers

Cool men!!!

Well done... Im willing to sponsor some Utric and others plant if you need it. Just lets me know...

Off topic, why geography teacher and not science teacher?

[edwardyeeks]

Hehehe....because my geography teacher was the first teacher in my school to buy a VFT.

Cheers

I think I can spare you a few D. paradoxa plants for your project.

Actually I think a mini bog would be a good idea. The air around the bog will be more humid when you have water around and you can have aquatic utrics or even aldrovanda in the pond. I woudl suggest U. aurea if you are going for utrics. At least can see the traps if compared to gibba. I also like the fact that aurea traps would make a popping sound to close their traps in protest when you lift them out of the water. That would poison more of your school mates when they see/hear that... Well it did poison me more when I first experienced it.

Then on the banks of the water you can have terrestrial utricularia, Drosera, Pinguicula, Dionaea muscipula and a few Sarracenias... ok, maybe the sarracenias can be submerged in the water about 2-3 inches.

Nepenthes can be grown around the bog further away from the water. Perhaps some amps would be nice and some tough vigorous gracilis, mirabilis and rafflesiana unless somebody is willing to donate some other more rare and spectacular species.
