The temperate plants have been out there for several weeks, and are just now sending up pitchers and flowers. The VFT's are also sending up flower scapes. Here in WNY we are a few weeks behind the hobbyisrs in the SE and West Coast.

I put the entire grow rack and window sill plants outside, on the porch rack, under trays of other plants, so they don't torched.

I came home to a small disaster. A rainstorm with high winds caused one of the two planters that had 5 VFT's and a D. binata had toppled over the railing, off the porch, crashing to a concrete pad below.I salvaged what I could. One VFT is just plain MIA. Everything else had to be repotted into smaller pots because the plastic pots cracked on impact and ~1/3 of the media got lost. And of course the ID tags are now separated from the plants. That'll have to be fixed later on.
