Lots of hungry plants in that pot! My flytraps are just now opening their first traps of the season and my Sarracenia are sending up flowers and pitchers. Central Texas is always a tad behind Southern CA.
my bog was frozen just a few days ago! nothing to show yet... it should look very impressive next year though with the amount of Drosera rotundifolia seeds i sprinkled on it
Well it does grow outside in San Diego where the lowest temp it sees is 45 in the dead of night, so it never really gets too cold. I think the Darlingtonia might still be pretending to be asleep, but the Dionaea and Drosera took about a month off at the end of December til mid January, and then started growing again. I do have a Drosera capillaris bud hiding in there somewhere that's still asleep that comes from Meadowview Research Station grounds, so maybe it needs to be dormant a little longer from being for a little further North.
OK, I've finally finished repotting and planting my new VFT minibog - here it is (sorry, night pic )
It contains my new star, Dionaea muscipula 'Korean Melody Shark':
So the inhabitants are Darlingtonia, a forked leaf dew that may be Drosera binata "dichotoma", a random volunteer sundew that might be D. aliciae, D. capillaris from Meadowview Bio Research Station area, D. intermedia x capillaris, D.spathulata x capensis, a random cute red ground-covering weed that sprouted up, some live sphag, and the following VFTs: Dionaea 'Royal Red', D, 'Sawtooth', D. 'Big Mouth', D. 'B52', D. 'Korean Melody Shark', & D. 'Pink Venus'.
Wow, Dionaea 'Korean Melody Shark'. Amazing!! Looking at your bog reminds me that we are living in the future. These VFT cultivars are outlandish and futuristic.
