A rubbermaid container, with peat moss. Let's see how it goes!

BTW, I'm in zone 5B, near Montreal, Qc, Canada...

Thanks Blokeman for pretty much making the entire thing. :p

now for a couple temperate dews, it's so cool to watch them break free of the hybernacula :D

group, with some D. anglica at the very top, I kinda forgot they were there too so they're not in the photo...
clockwise, from 12:00: rotundifolia from Magog, QC? , rotund from Keehns, filiformis var. tracyi, intermedia, filiformis var. filiformis, rotundifolia St Sauveur, QC , and in the middle a somewhat half-dead rotund from HB.

and just for fun, some seedlings:

purp heterophylla and a rubra/oreophila, forgot ID...

the most promising of my 20-25 or so seedgrown Dionaea, it retained all its traps during winter, and it's colored up nicely.

and that should be it.

I cannot wait to compare summer and autumn pics against these, last year the pitchers on the atropurpurea, leuco tarnok, dana's delight, and flava var ornata were pretty sweet :)

thanks for looking!
