Always a joy when that happens (hands-free removal of pest). I only have a single southern window in the house. I keep a big box flytrap in that window because any flies that sneak in work their way to that window due to the sunlight in afternoons and evenings. The flies don't last long. My only flytrap earns it keep!

That’s cool I find satisfaction watching those stupid flies drown in the pitcher of my Sarracenia

You're up in Canada, correct?

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

Dang! I don't know why I was thinking Canada.
If you want Sarrs, you're eligible to request Sarr seeds from the seed bank. You would just likely have to stratify them in the fridge.

I have 2 Judith hindles, a Oreo(that the nick name of the plant) and I just ordered some more on carnivorousplantnursery.com. You should check it out they have great plants for pretty good prices you can get a Medium sized Sarracenia For $17.99. I’ll send pictures when my other ones get here

blueridgeexotics have a small selection of Sarracenia i would recommend them for your 1st Sarracenia. The quality/size you will get from them will blow CPN out of the water.

i did a review on a order i got from them. blue-ridge-exotics-review-t44694.html

The plants I received are in shock but they bounce back in a week. And yes it is really hot I have to refill my saucers twice a day
