Hey posting up my first pictures some are old but I am definitely updating my pictures (and besides the plants are in dormancy they will look much better updated in a few months!) The one plant in the hanging basket that looks like a mess of half dead headless leaves actually has a rhizome bigger than a golf ball. It's over 2 years old now, this summer I have a feeling it's going to divide and grow very large. I will definitely update this thread when appropriate!

Hanging planters with'rescued' typicals waiting for spring. They will be within a few feet of our porch light which attracts hundreds if not thousands of flying critters every night :P

Let me know how that one turns out, that trap actually never opened and died (the leaf dying I think was unrelated from the mosquito I think it just ran its course)

Not sure if it's stressed or growing like this, I'm pretty sure it's a typical but it has some strange cup-like traps and some wild grass.
