HB and Tael- thanks!! and yes, MS-006 Z II is a strong fellow, he looks great with CPs and is weatherproof to boot Lloyd- I imagine you're talking about S.flava flowers, which truly smell funky and generally not so "nice"- if they're a bright sulfur yellow and smell kinda like a cat marking their territory, that's what yer dealing with Petmantis- best of luck with them, got my fingers crossed for you!!

I made a big order with Dan last year and bought some extras from Flytrap to try out in my Bancroft minibog. So far things are looking really good. These are pushing up flower buds as of last week: S purpurea venosa montana x oreophylla (o x f) x l oreophylla flava purpuraea (natch) OSM-HVPT Courti x purpurae These look strong and promising, no flower buds yet but maybe later: Ala red lid x pv x flava maxima Dixie Lace Oreophylla OSM #4 Leucophylla x oreophylla Flava cuprea x oreophylla Readii from Peter D’Amato, rXl X Miniata (Alata x minor) (rxo)xl purpurea burkii x oreophylla SM#4 cobra nest x oreophylla These look a bit weak with only a little color and are probably less hardy, but should pitcher: Rubra Danas Delight Scarlet Belle Mitchelliana x oreophylla x citronelle Minora (oxm) The sundews are just getting started, the pings are big and robust, the flytraps are small but getting started and the B52s are great, pushing up new traps! The only loss was the cobra, it died before the snow flew. Worth a shot though.

Well I planted all my dews, VFT's, sarr's and pings outside. NOw nature will take its course. The sarr's that mabudon gave me look great. The petals have fallen off but the flowers still look fresh and the new pitchers are perfect. Thanks again, Carl, there's going to be some spicy olives coming your way one day.

The cool, wet conditions this summer in Toronto have been perfect for establishing my bog ( not so great for establishing my new gas BBQ). Although the D. anglica seedlings are getting pushed around a bit by all the water. The Darlingtonia are loving it so far.

We have a big wasp's nest in a tree in front of our house. I left it there to pollinate the tomatoes and to feed my sarr's. I checked yesterday and every pitcher is filled with dead wasps. During the day there are always dozens of wasps all over the sarr's.

Nice! My bog is fully awake, flowers should be opening any day and the pitchers on a few plants are fairly close to opening, and the temperate Pings have been active for a few weeks, whereas my D. filiformis has only started eating in the past few days I will take a pic today, weather permitting
