Do you get new plants every week?

If I had the space, I'd give Mike Wang a run for his money. As it is, these are the last plants that I plan to buy for a while. This past weekend, I had to water my entire collection from the rain barrel reserve: it took me an hour-and-a-half, and I burned though 20 gallons (75 liters) of water. I don't have enough rainwater storage capacity for more plants, and I'm trying to resist the urge to buy an RO unit.

Okay, I lied in the previous post: I just got a couple sundews.

New addition

Sundews
Drosera x californica "Creamsicle"

And a few more....

New additions

Pitcher plants

Sarracenia alata "Black Throat" - Hancock County, Mississippi
Sarracenia flava x oreophila, heavy-veined (Buckner)
Sarracenia oreophila x flava var. rugelii
Sarracenia rubra ssp. rubra - Shallotte, North Carolina
Sarracenia 'Dan Winter' x 'Leah Wilkerson'
Sarracenia 'Bud Wilkerson' x 'Wilkerson's White Knight'

More???

I sold 8 pots of plants to a friend of mine today, so it was a net decrease of 3.

I didn't mention that Michael Sprouse gave me 21 oreophila seeds as freebies with my S. x 'Leah Wilkerson' order six weeks ago. As difficult as oreo's are to get in North Carolina, there's no way I'm going to pass this up. The seeds are stratifying in the fridge right now, will hit the dirt in a couple weeks.

New additions

Venus flytraps
Fake Dracula
All Red Giant
Red Microdente

Via a trade with slicric78, now that he lives just a couple counties away.

Sweet, nice additions! I absolutely love the Red Microdente. Keep me in mind please if you have divisions of it down the road. I would enjoy one!

After a ridiculous dry spell, I finally caved in and bought an RO filter. 2 days after I placed the order, it started raining again (of course...). Now my rain barrels are full, my emergency stash of gallon jugs is full, and it's rained enough that I haven't had to water my plants for the past week. To celebrate the abundance of water (and my birthday), I got a few more plants:

Venus flytraps
Sunrise

Sundews
Drosera binata 'Marston's Dragon'

Pitcher plants
Sarracenia var. rubricorpora - CZPlants Liz T
Sarracenia "Cazadero Trail"

Happy Birthday! Marston Dragon is one of the best sundews I own and is an over performer. I loves repots and does better in sphagnum. It also flowers prolifically.
