My Venus flytraps are blooming and this is the first flower to open. #carnivorousplants #bloomscrolling

Pinguicula (rotundiflora x gracilis) x laueana, HC B flowering again. So far I think this is the only one that’s bloomed, so I still don’t know if this shade of purple is the norm or not.

The first flowers, and first pitchers, of Sarracenia outside this year (naturally, right before we expect temps in the low 20’s F tomorrow night so I have to pull the electric blanket out now to try and ward off frost…). No surprise it’s S. oreophila “North Sound” x purpurea “Giant No. 1” blooming first with those early season northern genes, but what I am surprised by is the number of younger plants that are already pitchering and even blooming.

If you’re like me and are always either too broke or too slow to take advantage of Nepenthes x kinabaluensis being made available…mira x villosa is a darn good substitute. This seed grown plant from @bramblesbotanicals (and I think grown out of @jeremiahsplants seeds) is a significantly fast plant as far as highlanders go, has great maroon-brick red coloration, and with every new pitcher it not only gets bigger, but the peristome gets broader and toothier. When it matures I expect it’ll make a pretty good imitation, if slightly smaller, of true x kinabaluensis

I bought some carnivorous plants last week because we have a fly problem. They seem to be doing quite well in their current situation, so that's good.

But today I watched a fruit fly crawl all over the venus flytrap's inside, and it didn't so much as twitch! What the hell? I feel ripped off.

I need an Audrey II and I got a Krelborn!

Two Nepenthes vogelii growing out, can’t wait to finally see uppers eventually.
Or I at least think the second is pure vogelii; it was purchased as vogelii x aristo from Predatory Plants but has no aristo in it, and they had a pure vogelii set at the time too so there was a switchup (similar thing unfortunately happened when they sent me a robcantleyi x truncata instead of rob x vogelii, and never heard back when asked about either one…).

Just keeps getting better as the traps get bigger…Nepenthes maxima “tentena” x (veitchii x platychila). The platy influence is showing strong.

First update checking things back home: I lost my Yucca do Pinguicula cyclosecta unfortunately but a new locality replacement was got recently…and it’s almost immediately bloomed and started dividing.
Of course I took advantage and crossed it, since the white gigantea, emarginata, and several hybrids are still flowering

Just finished sorting out all the houseplants. All my tropical plants have died, the house is too cold for them. Most of the cactuses and succulents are fine. I've also refilled my carnivorous plant tank, they were neglected towards the end of last year and didn't make it either.
