I managed to get mine repotted yesterday. My pots were either too small or too big, so I went with the big one. I had to cheat and use some sand/peat in the bottom. The rest is all LFS and perlite with some live on top. The pot it was in is the smaller one, I now have some native wetland iris' in it until I have the time to give them a more permanent home. The cobra itself looks terrible. The roots still look good, and the rhizome is still firm. I don't know if it'll come out of it or not. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.
The photos in this thread on the ICPS board will give you a detailed look at Darlingtonia californica flower anatomy. Quite a bit different from Sarracenia. These photos should aid you in collecting pollen and hand pollination.
You can see how recessed the anthers are. The openings in the petals are too small for the average European honey bee.
