Fascinating plants....... wish we still had them......when I see yours....

Did it catch the fly? Beautiful plant.

Dd, All were over wintered on the pond shelf, but this winter will give them a bit of protection, they did get a bit of frost damage.
Dawn, I didn't wait around to see if the fly was a goner. The hairs on the pitchers all face towards the mouth, to stop the flies retreating.

Well Siris, I think he was on a slippery slope. Fascinating plants.

So pleased with this Genus, looked into getting hardy ones after seeing them in a botanic garden in the Loire, France.

Go for it! Do you have Venus flytrap too? They fascinate me in a childish way ?

No Dawn, Although Venus Flytraps are hardy, I could not give them the conditions and attention they require outside.

I didn't realise yours were outside, pretty amazing how you keep them going.

I was given much vital advice by a most helpful Gou member, ie must be grown in an open peat medium, plenty of sun, always kept moist, with rain water, no fertiliser. Am really enjoying this genus.
