Congrats Devon! You are well on your way to growing the best looking temperate carnivorous plants. The weather this season seems to be definitely good for those plants....although I am truly very worried as temperatures are already going up and I am having issues cooling my highland plants.

Hi, I don't know if anyone else lives around here. But I am from Hamilton i.e., Mac. You wouldn't believe it ... but I saw venus fly traps for sale inside the mcmaster hospital last week. LOL! it was in the gift store. I remembered walking past it and chuckling at myself and remembering when I had my beautiful VFTs with corms the size of a golf ball. Anyways.... you can PM me if you need help. cheers, V

wow!! Fantastic work Pascal. Damn!! SHe's all grown up and looking great. Congratulations for having gotten her to grow on your terms.
I did get a replacement ramispina a little while ago since I sold this to ya. It clearly looks like a different clone as it has speckling on the inside of the pitcher. I don't know how many clones are around of this species.

Those plants will love the sunlight man. By the time summer kicks on, you should have some promising looking growth.

sorry to hear that man. Don't be too depressed about it. It happens. Its the sad truth... we push our plants outside their comfort zone and sometimes its just too much. Just remember what you did with this one, avoid it with the next one and try to better suit its conditions. In no time you'll be able to grow these monsters.

very very nice! I wouldn't be soo sure if those are all different types. The same species of sphagnum / any moss can have a different growth habit depending on the conditions in the microenvironment. I find that the same live LFS in a pot of nepenthes can have different color...ranging from blond to green to red.

I think you are remembering this article: www.livescience.com/strangenews/090623-tree-shrew-lavatory.htmlIts interesting to come up with a theory...but being in a field of research myself, I must say that they don't have actual evidence. They haven't shown proof of droppings inside the pitcher. Even better would be evidence like that shown for N. lowii. Mathematical models, connections and extrapolations can only get us so far. It doesn't mean I disbelieve their "ideas". I think it requires more evidence.
