Awesome! That angel wings looks great, nice list!

Added Fused Tooth and FTS Lunatic Fringe from Flytrap Store. Thanks again, Matt and Leah, great as always.

That fused tooth is a two-headed monster!

Added Utricularia calycifida 'Asenath Waite' and Nepenthes spectabilis x hamata about a month ago.

Both have survived the past month on my windowsill, even though it's been nothing but grey skies over here in Detroit. The Utric doesn't look that awesome yet (I'm looking forward to the flowers) but the Nepenthes looks crazy sharp.

Two spectacular new plants to report, got Sarracenia Smurf for Christmas (Thanks, Santa!) ...



... and Darlingtonia Californica this weekend.





Darlingtonia is from Phil Golding and it is a BEAST.

It snowed yesterday here in Detroit! So I'm still not quite in spring mode yet. But I added a few new Sarrs courtesy "Duckhook" on Sarracenia forum.

Here are some epic roots and about 5 or 6 growth points on a Leuco 'Tarnok.'
And here is a flowering 'Snorkle.' This flower can reportedly get kind of freaky (6 or 7 petals). So, I'm looking forward to seeing that. When it stops snowing ...

man, that root system and rhizome is looking mighty powerful. Any new updates on your Cobra lilies?

Thanks for asking! My Cobra lilies seem to be doing pretty good. It seems like maybe they had some transplant shock, but that's to be expected, and they could probably really use some sun and some real spring time weather.

It's my first time growing them, so I'm no expert on what they should look like in dormancy or coming out of it, and I know they are somewhat notorious for being hard to grow ... but they are still alive and green so ... that's a win!

I'll see if I can get some photos later!

Awesome grow list

My rhizomes from duckhook were awesome as well, but none as big as yours! I have never seen that size of a plant!

Thanks Megan and Katyadog!

And here's a new cobra lily pic.

Got a big box in the mail today from Mike Wang, and suddenly my Sarracenia "want list" went from about a ten items ... down to about three!

Inside that box was a Reptilian Rose, Umlauftiana, Mardi Gras, Smurf, a couple awesome Psitticina, Leuco Hurricane Creek White, and more ... seriously awesome stuff all around.

I just finished a late-night planting party. I'm looking forward to these growing up over the summer.

Here's a total bomb of Purpurea var montana from Translyvania County, North Carolina.

Mike's plants never disappoint!

Nice haul!

This should be awesome: I got a Leah Wilkerson from Brooks Garcia.

Here it is with some of its new friends, who are all just creeping their way out of dormancy. It's still been hitting 0°C at night here in Detroit.

Clockwise from upper left: Cupped traps, drosera 'Nagamoto', sarracenia 'Leah Wilkerson,' dionaea 'Akai Ryu.'
I also added to my list some hitchhikers: Utricularia bisquamata and Drosera capensis. They secretly hitched a ride with some other plants, so I'm not sure exactly where they came from. I'm guessing they came from California Carnivores.

They are some of the best weeds ever.

I added flytraps Korrigans, FTS Flaming Lips, and Trichterfalle x Coquillage, all from Flytrap Store. All awesome.

Here's Korrigans, with that crazy "no neck" look:
And here's Trichterfalle x Coquillage, with the crazy long "eyelashes" and the scaly "scary stalk":
