Smile, it makes people nervous :)
Hi all,
My dad's in France at the moment, so he sent me some pics of how the 'experiment' plants were doing (wasn't sure if they could survive there with only occasional attention, so I picked up a few from a garden centre just to try) and the 2 Sarracenias are fine, but the VFT looks a bit suspect, and a second opinion would be great...

It may just be dormant, or has overused its traps, but I think it looks a bit too severe for that... Strangely, other plants seem fine:

But I dunno... if it is aphids, are there any French growers here that can tell me what brands I should use? That would be great, but if not, I'm sure I can do some research!
For the lols, my other experiment fared even worse:

I didn't expect frost to be that severe! I thought the sun might warm up the pots and stop frost etc... but maybe not!
(I hope the photos are okay, I find putting photos up really confusing!)
