Hello there I am from Melbourne Australia and for some reason I have develop an obsessive fascination with these majestic plants.
I have built up quiet a collection so far I have had them all for about two months now the weather has been very hot and at times
very stormy I have not had a single plant die on me yet I water them almost every day for some strange reason the small sundews
appear to be growing like weeds but have not caught a single insect compared to the long leaf sundew which has caught heaps of
tiny insects.
I have noticed the tall pitcher plants seem to attract lots of cockroaches I must have at least ten dead cockroaches and the number of
victims keeps slowly climbing, I can tell when they have caught another cockroach because I can hear them scratching as they struggle to climb out against the downward pointing hairs, I guess it's better than having them crawling around the kitchen which really freak me out every time is see one crawling across the kitchen sink.
It's fun to look down the pitchers and watch them try to struggle and climb out knowing they will never ever escape.
Anyway here are the photo's of the collection I have so far.
