Hi there,
Long time VFT killer, only successful with CPs as of about 3 years ago when I started reading about their needs on-line and then hooked up with other resources such as Barry Rice's website (http://www.sarracenia.com) and visiting Peter D'Amato's awesome nursery in Sebastopol, CA. Since my success, my collection has been growing from 1 mini-bog garden to 7. Hopefully I'll be able to slow down, but it's easy to just say "one more won't hurt".
I have many genera in my collection including sarracenia, heliamphora, cephalotus, nepenthes, dionaea and drosera, but by far my most favorite are the sarracenias - and of these, the most rewarding by far are the flavas - which I love dearly. Pings (butterworts) seem to hate me though - the only one I'm able to keep alive is primulaflora - and I think that's in spite of me and not because.
Well, good to meet you all. Hope to share some of your insight into this fascinating hobby.
