VFT's were fresh and very cheap at the big boxstore so I put this together today.

that's a very healthy looking hamiltonii

Thanks Plant Fanatic and Corky! :) The hamiltonii has had it's ups and downs but it always seems to have a growth spurt around November for me.

A new generation of D. anglica, tokaiensis and a little clump of alicea in my nursery bog(indoors).

Really liking the cape x spat, great shape! I have a few new capensis hybrids ( Lantau x, aliciae x, dielsiana x) growing out from seed, so hopefully some of those will turn out looking just as cool.

hcarlton: one of my faves too. It's so easy with such a unique shape. Good call! I am really quite a fan of the hybrid Drosera. I would be very interested to see how your little ones turn out.

a simply huh-yooge U. reniformis leaf










I was hoping for flowers soon, but I had to be away from home for a week and it sorely missed my daily spritzing. The leaves and sphagnum have discolored and paled a bit I noticed after my absence.
:oops: :ohno: <----me returning home and finding all of my live sphagnum looking dried and fried. (It's all fine though.)

Update on the 10 gal. terrarium






Bunnies!!! These D. tokaiensis are pretty juicy too.

The Hamiltoii in post #52 has really done some cool stuff. It has divided into 3 large rosettes much faster than anticipated. Sadly for me, I lost my camera in a recent move so I won't have an update pic up for another week or two.

What are those in #57? I that as tall as they get?

#57 has Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa with the large open blooms. It may get an inch or two taller as it starts to produce pitchers again this year. There are several other species and varieties of dormant Sarracenia in the same pot that were just taken out of the fridge and planted along with a few tiny Drosera multifida 'extrema'planted around the edge of the pot. The top dressing is live sphagnum.

The S. purpurea wintered in this pot instead of the fridge.
