Not a Number mentioned mealy bugs. I have not noticed any on my plants. I grow cactus also and with them we can get Root Mealy Bugs right in the potting mix. Nasty critters. I suppose that would be impossible to get in wet boggy plants. Yes? No?
Thanks all for your help.
Not a Number: Wow!! and Ugh!! That is one ugly photo of your Tarnock. Did the plant survive? With my cactus I use a 2% Soap solution drench and sometimes mix in Malathion to kill Root Mealy Bugs. What do you do for CP?
I made a video of my collection yesterday in lieu of a photo as it is easier for me at present. I did remove my Tarnock from the pot in the video and there was no evidence of Mealy Bug, but I did notice what may be a fungus on the pitchers of the plant. Could it be Rust?

I am far from an expert, only speak from personal experience. I can go out tomorrow and take some pictures of my 2 Tarnok and PM you if you would like a comparison? I have one small Tarnok taken out of a very small pot this year and planted in the bog and it has small pitchers also like yours, and the other Tarnok the same situation last year and you should see it now that it has had a whole growing season with room to grow, along with the brown spots you are seeing with yours.
I would like to see the photo's, but why not post them up here on this thread? That way others can see them too.
I know how to get Flickr links into posts, but I see some post with pictures in already in them without having to link to another site and that is what I am wanting to know how to do. Sorry for the confusion, I am a bit of an idiot when it comes to computer stuff like this, LOL.
Your Flickr link worked for me. BEAUTIFUL Scarlet Belle, one of my favorite sarrs. Here is a picture of mine that I divided from a bigger one this year: http://www.flickr.com/photos/enjoypics/6256853048/
Good luck with your Tarnok, I am sure it will grow nice next year when you get it repotted. Looks like you are doing everything right because your plants are beautiful.
