Those photos are sweet!

As I check on my plants on a daily basis, I could not help but admire the development of a silent gewl of my carnivorous collection. As you have seen in previous photos throughout this thread, here is the latest on my Cephalotus follicularis. Early last spring when I bought it was nearly a clump half it size and today it is nurturing into an eye catching specimen. ENJOY !

aaaaaw soon that pitcher will open and get rid of any pests flying around

Wow, pretty cool!

Did you grow all those from seeds and nice bog

Thank you for the kind comments on the bog bowl wiki234. All my carnivorous plants have been purchased mostly at a young age. Only my Darlingtonia's are being germinated through seed, currently in process.

cool they are very good looking plants i only grow VFT and i only have 2 but they are healthy one of them has lots ad lots of small traps and the other has a few traps but its healthy

Just when I thought I had enough VFT's, 3 more land safe and sound into my Carnivorous Bog Bowl and beauties they are. I just had them delivered two days ago in a dormant state and they are progressing well. As most of you already know, there is always that one more cultivar or species that sits on your mind that you need to get...eventually, and then they land in your sight in amazement . I'm looking forward to seeing them spruce up among the rest of the CPs in the bog bowl. It should be quite a sight in few months. None the less, enjoy the photos below of my new arrivals and an update photo of my Drosera capensis' and Drosera spatulata.

Just out of the box. Scarlet Bristle Cup Trap Sawtooth Drosera capensis' and Drosera spatulata

nice! your building up quite a large collection

very nice, Keehns' plants are good. Nice bowl!! I wish I had made as much progress as you!!

This is an amazing thread with some nice plants. I want a BG just like that. The ceph looks great!

i still like your ?gibbosa? (aka purpurea i believe) the best

nice setup and plants!

It's mid dormancy and a new year of CP growing has begun. Here's to a robust growing season everyone...CHEERS !

Enjoy the mid dormancy tour of my Carnivorous Bog Bowl of Horrors.
Not to worry about the poor little guy on the left. Though this Fused Tooth has decided to lose all its leaves since late October, it's very much alive or should I say asleep . The overnight lows has been hitting about -3 to -4 degrees Celcius for nearly a week now in Burnaby, BC and so far this winter home for my Carnivorous Bog Bowl has been holding its own. Inside the mini greenhouse it's been consistantly 3 degrees Celcius above the actual outdoor temperature which leaves the temperature perfect for dormancy growing. At times I do set a cardboard sheet above the mini greenhouse to alleviate the harsh clear night chill, thus stabilizing the inside temperature by an extra degree above. I'll eccept 0 to -1 degrees Celcius inside the mini greenhouse. Anything lower for a longer period of time such as a deep freeze as experienced nearly a month ago will result in bringing the bowl temporarily indoors. During milder weather when it showers, I do bring out the bowl for a few hours for a natural watering. Meanwhile, the humidity inside the mini greenhouse which usually sits at about 70-90% helps keep the right moistness throughout the bowl.

Sweet! Keep up the growing!
