Your First CP

To start this thread, my first CP was a VFT (common). It lived for three years then die. It was probably the biggest VFT so far with traps around one inch (I think).
 
Store bought vft that I killed in about a week. Actually,it was in pretty bad shape when I got it.
 
A VFT from King Soopers. I bought it in November and I recalled hearing about dormancy somewhere so I re-potted it, stuck it in a tray of water and put the whole thing in the fridge. And I'm sure you can all guess what happened to it.
 
my first co was an S. Judith Finn
 
First Cp was a vft about 15 years ago. Died in a week. 15 years later I am trying again with alot better success. A BIG Thanks to PFT.com:biggrin:.
 
Guess what? My first CP was a VFT way back in 1979, I still have it (plus 20 daughter plants and countless ones pass onto friends)!
 
Back in 1967 I grew Pinguicula vulgaris, and flowered it too!
 
My first CP to survive: Heliamphora Ionasii.

First real one: VFT
