Here's a link to the species of Michigan clams:
http://web4.msue.msu.edu/mnfi/pub/pd...OfMichigan.pdf

I don't know how long they live. So I looked it up and it says online that most clams will live from 5-20 years or more. But theres clams that live for hundreds of years. So I do not know how long they live.

I don't know what kind mine are either, I know theres a couple different species in there.

thats a lot of species of clams. I think it would be interesting to raise them. If I had another aquarium and clams that I could find, I would love to raise them

I actually ran out of plug ins. So I had to run an extension cord and then a surge protector (the bars with multiple plug ins on them) so I could have more plug ins.

I just love clams for some reason. They are so cool and interesting, then they do the weirdest things.

Hiya Re: Insomnia Thread...

Hey Jordan!


Glad you're back from camping.


Clams...now that's cool. I thought people just eat them, not keep them as pets! I think they're so neat and I'm surprised you have them.


Cool plant, Greg!


I guess we are definitely going to the zoo tomorrow and we are leaving super early too so we can beat heavy Toronto traffic.


Hope everyone has a great Saturday. I'll be coming home with some fantastic shots...hopefully.


Sorry I'm so busy lately but we'll chat soon...

To do list: Buy a parrot. Teach the parrot to say, "Help! I've been turned into a parrot."

Hiya Re: Insomnia Thread...

Hi gang!


Sorry I've been so busy lately!


Hope you guys had a chance to check out my zoo shots...in the zoo thread. You will feel like you went to the zoo as well. The animals were terrific and I had a chance to take some really good quality pics. Check out this male Polar Bear...





Is it just me, or is he smiling?!


I think we're gonna go back to the zoo again on the weekend! You really need two days to see it all. I missed the Gorillas and want to return so I can take some killer shots of them.


I gotta go but hope you guys have a great Wednesday. Here are some beach shots I took...














Chat soon...

Your sunflowers look great Greg. For some reason my email is not notifying me about this thread. Sherry those are some great pictures. I haven't been to the zoo since elementary school, I would love to go because some times during the year they have a free day for the zoo in Dallas. I would only go during the cooler months lol

(notice the symmetry located above....)

Look what I got today




Its my bonsai pot and soil! I accidentally ordered more the twice the soil I needed though so I guess I can make another bonsai tree. I tried to pick the cutest post that would go with my Umbrella tree that's going in it.

I also got stuff from two trades and the Pachypodium I ordered from Ebay (located in another thread)

Today has been nice to me plant wise

I tried those kits a few times, but have never had any luck with them. I managed to get them to sprout, but then they wold just die.

Its better to find a plant that looks like a small tree and then make a bonsai from that. Junipers are a good choice

I love this pot for some reason, I think it will look good with my tree

I agree with Jordan!

Find you something you like and bonsai it. Lot's of good informational "How To's" on You Tube. I'm trying to bonsai my variegated bougainvillea. It has small colorful leaves and colorful small flowers and twists and knarls really well. If it turns out looking OK I will show some pictures of it. But if it turns out ugly nobody will see it!
