Got back into VFTs again following a decent hiatus after a disheartening late freeze during my last attempt at growing. Now, I'm giving it another go, hoping to keep everything simple.

Guillermo (BCP B01)

Xenia Onatopp (Gold Strike)

Xenia on day 1

Coach Feratu (Polish Dracula)

Marvolo (Seed Grown)

I have a few additional cultivars on the way, and will probably pick up some more varieties as they become available.

Nice collection. My Polish Dracula is a multiplying fool just like yours. Must be a characteristic of that cultivar.

Thanks, folks! I cannot take any credit so far, though. I received them all from Matt over the past few weeks in outstanding condition and I've only had to plop them outside. The most I have done is trim some trees that mess with their morning sun since we have had a couple rainy days lately.

Wooooo!

The happy family.

The only non-FTS plants are my Cupped traps: Marceline A, who came in standard mix, and Marceline 1 and 1a, who I transplanted into NZ LFSM upon receipt. It looks like they came from TC as the rhizomes are funky looking for small fellas and they are not nearly as hardened as the FTS plants.
