I'm trying a new, shallow pan method for my Sarrs so they're not restricted by the shelves on the rack, but I anticipate a mosquito issue. I have mosquito dunks, but they don't seem to work very well for me. Maybe Aldrovanda will keep them under control.

Meadowview has them for $5 a pop. Thanks for reminding me actually since I was meaning to order some myself once it warmed up.

Well, it seems like I didn't look closely enough. I mistook the book (sold out) for a plant, then saw the "buy 50 for $50", glossing right over the $5 spot. Thanks.

Where can I find meadowview's plants for sale? When I looked on their website, it just said how they're trying to preserve sarrs.

They charge a lot for shipping, maybe I'll wait a bit and see if anyone here has some that I can buy from them.

My order I started to put in earlier was $26 for shipping. Was only going to be for 5ish plants too, so not like it would've been a large box or anything.

You should try some Utricularia inflata plants. They're hardy down to zone 5a. When I was a teenager, there was an area like this

a few miles from my parents' house. I still remember the blanket of yellow flowers popping out of the water all summer long.

Would inflata work with no substrate? I don't plan on making a bog, just a tray.

Oh yeah. inflata floats at the surface:

No substrate needed. You just have to keep it wet and make sure that the tray water doesn't get too warm.

Inflata does fine with no substrate. Mine really take off in the water trays but I have yet to get them successfully through the winter.

Where do you live Chef? I’ve forgotten over the years. I use Gambusia (mosquito fish) in my water table for mosquito control. Hopefully you live somewhere they are native and can go net a few out of your nearest ditch. That’s what I do. They work great and multiply like crazy.
