I guess my best suggestions would be to look at northern hybridizers. You cant go wrong at looking Karol Emmerichs daylilies.. or Korth ones. There are many more.. of these are tested in cold climates surviving and thriving. If they are not vigorous they will be honest and let you know they are releasing these more as a hybridizing item. Honestly.. Ive used genetic background of every major hybridizer out there (or most of them) and being vigorous doesnt seem to be a issue from most of the stamile, gossard, benz, salter, carpenter etc lines. Sure I seem to get duds out of any one group.. but say I start 10 seeds from a particular cross , 9 will be vigorous, of course 8 of them will be garbage becuase of something else and one might be ok to keep lol.. They only really dud ones Ive seen to come across are the kinnebrews, thier children just dont seem to cut it for me here in the north. THOUGH yet again, im trying some more lol.. Silverkelt

I ordered my frogs from fyb exotics (the ad is usually at kingsnake.com classifieds). Red eye treefrogs, like virtually all treefrogs, are nocturnal. Keep in mind though, that dart frogs will definately hide. The best way to ensure that you can see your darts is to very heavily plant the terrarium. That way, they feel secure and aren't as shy. Have you ever kept any type of frog before? Dartfrogs aren't neccessarily hard, but they're not a very good beginner's frog. Have you ever maintained fruit fly cultures? I'm not trying to discourage you, but I'm just trying to make a point that it takes a little time to get the hang or keeping dartfrogs. Good luck.

The leaves are now mostly opened, so when I'm in the woods, it's almost too dark for my Canon EOS 40D. Guess I'll have to either upgrade cameras or start taking photos on the edges of the woods. Here's a Scarlet Tanager I took on Friday in the woods above our pond. I had to heavily edit/lighten the photo From 5-12-09 birds but the woods had more light the week before, a different tanager, same logging road, less editing From May 2009 To see the rest of the photos in the albums, doubleclick on each photos, click "Slideshow." You can edit the slideshow to include labels or not, or choose number of seconds per photo, etc.

Yeah it's true.They CAN'T see red light so he's probably fine.
