I would be serving several consecutive life sentences!

I guess that's darlingtoniacide. No... you won't be serving any life sentences, it's called collatoral damage ...if we believe the spin terminology out there.
We all learn and get better as time moves on.

Here's one of the pitcher heads, opened up by slugs and/or deer. It presents a nice view of the inside. Also note that it has filled up with rain water:

Of the 9 darlingtonia flowers from this spring, this is the only plant that has set fruit nicely... it's quite plump, so I'm expecting a nice crop of seeds later this fall. Note, the pot is black in colour... which tends to get hot in sunlight. It was the only large pot available when I divided up the clump earlier this year. So as soon as I get a nice white coloured planter, in it goes.

I remember reading that these are really hard plants to deal with. Especially since they are even more stricter in their requirements than nepenthes. They like water flow through their roots...they like cool roots and fresh highly oxygenated water.

I've a few darlingtonia flower stalks up this spring. Maybe I'll get some seeds later on.
A few years back, the seed pods had burst and I had baby darlingtonias all over the bog the following year. Then the slugs ate up a number of them… so I threw the slugs into my turtle pond. And my turtles love slugs!

The divisions you gave me are all starting to grow for the year. Last year they did very little but this year it looks like their back on track.

I hope they flower for you next season. Here are some photos I took with my iPhone last weekend --of some darlingtonia seed pods growing in my friend, Lorne D.'s garden: Lorne will harvest the seeds, and I can distribute them for him later this year!
