Hi folks, I just snapped a few pictures of my indoor plants and thought I would share them here. All these plants are grown under LEDs for the past 3 years. Enjoy! The mighty B52! So far these guys along with the Low Giants and Red Dragons produce the largest traps in my collection. Watermelon VFT. Currently my top 3 favourite clone. Just loving the colour. Scarlet Bristle cuddling with a baby sundew. Red Dragon. Surprisingly vigorous and produces traps rivalling other giant clones. Group photo. Typical, Big Mouth, Red Dragon. Not sure what's wrong with the Big Mouth... The traps never grow any bigger than 1 inch. Community pot with Low Giant, Dentate, Bristletooth, Scarlet Bristle, and some Droseras. Low Giant, B52 side by side comparison. Low Giant has a much tidier rosette and thicker traps which are much durable. B52 seems to have slightly larger but less robust traps. From my experience the traps are rarely able to digest preys more than twice. Low Giant, Watermelon size comparison. Watermelon is a plant with wide leafs that grow low to the ground year round. It also has very robust and thick traps. Giant Red got something strange going on at the base... I already checked that it's not a flower stalk. I am guessing it's some sort of starch reserve. Some plants seem to grow weird looking tissues around the base in Spring. Bonus picture. Pinguicula Pirouette

Before my Big Jaws got killed it too only made 1 inch traps I think the traps might have maxed out at 1 inch mine was bought last year but the plant had been alive since 2009! It was a import from USA from a tissue culture lab created in 2009 to HB.

Beautiful. Seeing them in their natural setting, with the mosses (S. capillifolium and/or S. rubellum? Looks like there is S. papillosum in there as well.) and sedge grass is something. The colors of the 'dews and the red peat are amazing.
