Wow ! Thanks Gabriel, Francois, Cory and Ian for the very kind words, as well as to all CP enthusiasts who voted this last month. I definitely didn't think it was a sure thing given the quality of the competition. Great growing to all who participated, it means allot to have this acknowledgment from my friends and our CP community That said I'm not sure how much credit I can take, this Darlingtonia is not "normal"! It just keeps growing continuously, each pitcher larger than the next. It's already produced 3 large adult pitchers in various stages of development since I posted the POTM pic about 2 weeks ago. The very smallest pitchers buried in the moss were new growth last spring. Thanks again, Guy

Lots of really nice submissions this past month.
Guy, what are your growing conditions for that plant? It's very beautiful. If you don't mind my asking, where did you get it from? I have never tried Darlingtonia, as I'm not sure that my conditions are stable enough for it.

Haha Francois, thanks. Cory a Darlingtonia would look awesome emerging amongst all your terrific Neps, Helis, Orchids and Cephs Avery thanks for the questions. I really need to thank/plug Bonfield (Cole Thank you, thank you!) as he sold me this amazing plant last spring as part of his spring CP sale (I believe it's seed grown?). It never skipped a beat and has been growing steadily larger without dormancy ever since. I think to properly answer your question about growing conditions I'm going to post a separate thread on how I grow this and other Darlingtonia indoors. Or maybe I'll just include it as part of this thread, I'm just too tired tonight to write about specifics comprehensively and I'd like to include some pics as well, stay tuned! In short I think if you can figure out a way to give Darlingtonia a mild winter dormancy every year or two, your Highland terrarium with lots of Sphagnum may be an ideal place. Thanks again everyone, I look forward to more jewels from your collections this month
