Just thought I'd post some updated photos of all my tropicals and temperates im over wintering under lights.

These 2 plants I decided to let over winter in the terrarium since they were so small. Red Piranha and Cupped Traps.
Image

This is my Binata X Marston Dragon with its newest set of leaves. It looks much more intimidating now that it's making mature leaves.
Image

My Typical Capensis. Looks much better now that I trimmed the inactive/dryed up leaves. I also think it is growing a bit better now.
Image

My Red Capensis, which looks silly since it is getting red pigment now.
Image

My Capensis Alba. I think this is my healthiest sundew. It might be my favorite too.
Image

My new D.Californica from Lowes. From the way the growth looks on these, they look like they were straight out of TC into the death cubes, so I decided to over-winter them under the lights.
Image

My runt Adelae, this little guy was in bad shape when I got him from lowes. I ended up decapitating it back in November, this is the new growth since then.
Image

When I bought this plant, I thought it was a Ventricosa. Now I honestly don't know what it is.
Image

My Shipping shocked Steno
Image

My Judith Finn, which wasn't packaged very well when I got it and is going through major shock. The nice big pitcher on it dried up so I chopped it off. I'm sure it will be fine with time. I'm not upset since it was a bonus plant ;) .
Image

hope you enjoy!

Nice looking collection!

The 'Red Piranha' and 'Cupped Trap' plants are very small. Were those pullings you got or did you purchase them that small?

That unidentified nep you have appears to be a N. sanguinea. Once that large pitcher matures, you'll be able to tell better.

I too grow the N. Judith Finn and I've noticed that it's sensitive to being repotted and quite a slow grower. I'm not surprised at the shock it's in right now.

That nep resembles sanguinea, wait for it to grow larger mature pitchers first. Your capensis are beautiful, mine died and was left with a single tiny capensis.
The darlingtonia is so cute. I love darlingtonia so much.

Thank you :) yeah im a sucker for Darlingtonia too. I almost bought their whole stock lol. 4.95 a plant is pretty darn good for Cobra Plants.

Yeah Matt I paid for the Red Piranha, It was the 2nd fly trap I had ever ordered so I didn't know what small was then ;). The cupped traps sharing the pot was a bonus plant.

Thanks for the ID too, both of you.
