I wanted a place to share some of my plants. Maybe some u didn't know exist. I'll start with the picture above here - This is a fruiting Aiselu (Nepali: ऐसेलु ). The Golden Himalayan Raspberry . Did you know there was a Golden Variety of Raspberry? They aren't as sweet as their red or black berry companions but their taste is more complex. They are everbearing which means producing fruit throughout the growing season or multiple times during a single growing season. Raspberry is unique. Sometimes considered a weed; hard to kill. It likes very acidic well draining soil and a thick layer of mulch to protect it's shallow roots. They never fruit their first year of growth unless you know some tricks. They develop what is called a ' primocane '. This dies back and then a secondary cane will grow known as a ' floricane '.

"Generally, the primocanes are thicker, fleshy, and green, while the second-year growth floricanes turn woody and brown before dying back. Other primocane and floricane differences include when fruit appear on them. Floricanes should have a lot of still-green berries in spring, while primocanes will have no fruit. "

By topping the primocane on everbearing variety u can actually get fruit the first year but don't tell anyone. But b4 tip-pruning any-bearing raspberries, I think each must come to an understanding with the variety under their care :eyesmoke: :peace:

Peace !
Nice. Our goldens do better than our regulars. Very productive and cut their stalks down about half every year in early spring. I very much enjoy the tenacity of them!

My little 1 gallon is dry as a bone on the end table. Live moss killed the boys venus fly trap. $1 dollar acrylic bowl with top and color changeable LED. Scrap materials and a couple dollars worth of succulents and they are are easy to keep. LOL.
Looking for a cylinder of acrylic or plexi in the 16-18" dia range around 2' tall. I want to build another open water scape. Only must be a cheap tube. I'm poor.
Nice job and thank you for adding more concepts to my already back logged brain.

Fly trap looks good to me ? is it dead ?
Old pic. Been gone since fall. Just let it dry out after I removed the plant. Too much nutrients given off by live moss for them. Moss grows well. Carpets of it all over the place around here. Easy free bright greenery. LOL.

ive honestly never seen one grown...
Really easy if you get them in a good location for food and don't add any nutrients or harder than distilled water. Storing them for dormancy is a pain I suppose. Have wild pitcher plants here. Carnivorous grows since child hood. Still want a sun dew.
