Lloyd, Feel free anytime. Lots of space for the Neps Thanks Ian and Devon! I wish I could spend hours out there, if I'm lucky I get a couple minutes a day and a hour or so a week to water and weed. I work two full time jobs so its hard to squeeze in plant time some days. Here are some pictures from yesterday and today. More background on this plant for another day. For now I just call it Fake Oreo. Mike King S. flava var. rugelii Some of the collection S. x moorei 'Marston Clone' S. 'Copper Vase' Pinguicula macroceras Pinguicula grandiflora spp. grandiflora, these were all 1-2mm gemmae off of 3 plants. Drosera filiformis 'Carolina Clone' Drosera intermedia Drosera rotundifolia Drosera x beleziana Drosera anglica Drosera intermedia alba S. leucophylla var. leucophylla Pinguicula grandiflora spp. grandiflora, should get some seeds this year! S. oreophila var. oreophila S. oreophila var. oreophila S. flava var. maxima Some Darlingtonia More S. oreophila var. oreophila, off these ones posted are different locations. S. flava var. atropurpurea., this is the pink blushed flower form from Bay Co. Florida S. purpurea ssp. venosa, one of the coolest forms from Tattnall Co. After an extremely long and cold winter for these guys the Cephs are waking up and some are flowering. S. x catesbaei

Craziness! My flava's flowers are just starting to open, and since yesterday the irises opened.

looking good!love the venosa Tattnall Co
I feel envious, over here in the UK, outdoors in my bogs I have my first pitcher just popped open yesterday (oreophila), and although I have flowers a plenty not one is open yet. I must be at least three weeks behind you.
cheers Steve

Great growing mate. Where'd you get that black tray in the photo and how much if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking for something just like it that doesn't cost $60.

I want your Sundews!
Seriously though, your collection is amazing and amazingly grown. Can't wait to see those Sarras in the summer.

Canuk, Hydroponic stores are the best place to find them but as you probably know they aren't cheap. I've never paid full price for mine though, I just check out usedvictoria (similar to kijiji) and I find them on there for cheap. Picked up 7 4'x4' trays last year for 150 bucks, I use 2'x4' and 4'x4' mostly but I do have a single 8'x4' tray, I find the big ones are hard to manage on my small yard. Devon, I thought you might like the dews, thats why I posted those ones. They didn't look amazing when I took the pictures though. Growing outside means you gets ready dewy days and some days with no dew. I have extras of all the dews I have. Let me know which ones you're looking for

Incredible collection of temperate CPs Justin. With two full time jobs, you'd think that you wouldn't have much time to cultivate, but that simply isn't the case with the cultivation that's going on in your back yard. Keep up the great work there! dvg

You are good at what you do. Nice plants man! What a collection. That Drosera filiformis is really nice. Also, somehow stumbled upon your butterfly wing pendants on Etsy. I didn't realize you made them! My girlfriend and I were admiring them while we were at the gardens.

Hi Justin - What can't you grow?! Sure, I am jealous of your climate, but really I am jealous of your skill. Seriously, you have some nice plants that you should be proud of. Hats off to you!

Did I see you checking out the roots in your photos? Apparently it is not only myself that enjoys a good root.
You have quite the breathtaking display of plants in your yard. Are any in a container bog? I'm thinking of putting my plants into one or two to make it easier to water and winter over.
