A few months after the last repotting, this B52 throws out some pretty large traps! Looks about 1.75in.
I can't say I'm certain it's the B52 as some of them got mixed up when the labels faded; is there a better way to label them?

Shot of the whole pot, most plants are unique cultivars.

An unknown cultivar/hybrid that has a nice colour!

This one was also labeled B52, It had some decent sized traps before I decided to re-pot it a second time into a larger pot :(

A pot of sundews and cephs! Looks like they are doing pretty well this year. I'm really liking the colour, just wish they were larger.

This is the run down green house they've been living in. The original mesh disintegrated after a year but the fruit tree netting works a treat in keeping the dog out.

Dude, those plants look awesome. :) Can't believe you're growing cephs outside.

EDIT Haha, you're in Australia. ;) THAT'S why you're plants look so good this time of year. All these pictures of VFTs people are posting makes me want to get some more...

Awesome! nice color in those VFT's.....red against the green is a nice contrast when it happens................Getting the dark deep red colors is a difficulty I have with my B52's..even with 8 hours of direct sunlight!

Thanks!

The cephs do grow quite well after they've been hardened!
Those colours must've been from the scorchers this summer.

I have a tap timer set to go off for 10 minutes in the morning to top off the 1/2in deep trays in the warmer months; I can never remember to water them consistently with the rain water! (Is it really all that bad?)

Wow, so you must have some pretty great tap water for your VFTs to thrive so well on it!
