New to Carnivorous plants

Hey I just wanted to say thanks to u guys for all of your very useful info on this site. I recently got into the whole carnivorous plants thing and I love it. I currently have 2 sundews a VFT that I got from lowes that's doing well. I just bought 2 VFTs from lowes that were definitely on the brink of dying. I figured I'd try and save the little guys.
 
I guess I can't post pics from my phone lol
 
Nope.. you've gotta use a site like photobucket or flickr. Then just copy and paste the code here to post pics.
Welcome to the addiction btw..

Your sundews are 2 different types of Drosera filiformis. And lovely specimens at that..
 
Jesus, why doesn't my lowes carry big Drosera filiformis and Drosera Traceyi? Nice score!

Oh to be new to this hobby again..... (j/k)

Stick around for a while- it could cost more than a dog. I have dumped a couple grand into my collection.

My bad, to clarify, I actually bought the Dews from a local CP Nursery. He charged me $15 for both pots. I bought the VFTs from lowes

Thanks!!!! The reddish one catches more bugs for now anyway. I can't wait to see them by the middle of the summer

OH! I guess that answers my question. LOL

And yes, MANY of us have invested quite a bit, SO FAR! Most of us, not matter how much we say we are, are not done spending.

Glad to have ya here as part of our HIGHLY dysfunctional family. :boogie:

I'm guessing you were/are in marching band.

It's cheaper, for now. I spent $210 on a single plant this year, so it can get pricey.

Don't let them scare you off ;). You can very easily have a good size collection without investing incredible amounts of money (especially with the people and resources on this forum). They are referring to some of the more advanced stages of this infection we call cp collecting. The most expensive parts of the hobby are usually ordering super rare plants and the components (terrariums, greenhouses, fans, heaters, coolers...) to care for them.

Welcome to the hobby!
