Unfortunately, I have kept nocturnal frogs in my room or right next to it since I was 12 so I don't even really notice their calls anymore. Every so often though I do, and it is sooo nice! emilyolearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775927574956434356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-2032142139325281992019-12-21T21:59:55.643-08:002019-12-21T21:59:55.643-08:00Thanks for the kind words, both of you.

I feel the same way about both of you, and have learned so much from your blogs, both in growing technique (Matt, your vents and osmocote use especially), and Loree, your readiness to test what we think we know about plants and experiment, and how to effectively grow lots and lots of trees in a city lot! I hope to one day have a garden half as wonderful as yours. emilyolearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775927574956434356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-74801240805266137932019-12-20T21:30:21.530-08:002019-12-20T21:30:21.530-08:00Wouldn’t it?

It is their diet that determines toxicity, primarily ants, mites, and spiders, that enable them to produce toxins. In captivity, their diet of springtails, flies, and isopods, do not allow for it. If you take a wild frog and raise in captivity for 6 months, it will lose its toxicity. There are additionally varying degrees of toxicity, and there are very few dart frogs even in the wild, that warrant safety precautions while handling, namely, Phyllobates terribilis. emilyolearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775927574956434356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-1296780373175061562019-12-20T15:24:23.461-08:002019-12-20T15:24:23.461-08:00I meant creamy border (not center) ;-\I meant creamy border (not center) ;-\chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-48877837025801159002019-12-20T11:25:16.120-08:002019-12-20T11:25:16.120-08:00Incredible!

Gulp. I wonder if there is danger handling this colorful cutie. Hooray for miniature gardens (luckily, no fairies in site :-D). I can see how Begonia could be addictive; the black leafed one with creamy center is to die for. Hoya retusa is surprising (not my grandmother's Hoya), and I love the cork installation idea.chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-21037768387888584302019-12-20T10:40:30.979-08:002019-12-20T10:40:30.979-08:00OMG, this post was just an absolute orgy of fascin...OMG, this post was just an absolute orgy of fascination for me! As soon as I saw the fog on the glass of those terrariums, I figured I might see critters inside. I would have been plastered to that glass watching the frog, waiting to see if it ate some bugs (yes, I'm horribly bloodthirsty, bet you never figured that, did you?)<br /><br />Emily has some wonderful plants, I'm very jealous of her Begonia collection. And that enormous open-topped glass terrarium is drool-worthy, I've had a hankering for something like that for a few years now. Something about the size of a coffee table would do me fine, but I don't think I get enough light in my living room for one. I see she has a lamp directly over hers.<br /><br />Thanks so much for this wonderful post!Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-83968393207202686622019-12-20T09:45:58.145-08:002019-12-20T09:45:58.145-08:00Her terrariums look like fascinating glimpses into...Her terrariums look like fascinating glimpses into tropical jungles. I love fancy leaved begonias and have had fun propagating them from leaf cuttings. Sadly they don't do nearly as well as Emily's. You did a great job photographing her mini worlds. luv2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883799040439283011noreply@blogger.com
