Well it has been almost 1 year since I fell into the wonderful world of CP's by rescuing 2 VFT's from the trashpile of my local Lowes store. The clerk gave them to me for free and I am sure I heard them laughing at me as I walked away as they were all black with no traps. Everyone on this forum has been a big help to me and I thank you all for the many words of wisdom.
So with that said, my growlist after 1 year is as follows:
2 X Dentate VFT's - From the Lowes' trashpile (Proud of these since they were basically dead and I nursed them back from the brink!)
2 X Fine Tooth X Red - From FlytrapRanch.com (HUGE plants with multiple divisions since they have 3 flowerstalks - Thanks Steve!)
2 X Big Mouth VFT's - from FlytrapRanch.com (HUGE plants with one putting up a flowerstalk- Thanks again Steve)
One pot of seedlings (probably 10+ plants) from Matt at the FTC store, several with some red coloring - Am repotting this weekend - Thanks Matt.
2 X Judith Hindle Sarrs - From the FTS - New genre of plants to me and showing some nice growth after a couple of weeks - Thanks to Allen for putting together the care sheet on the forum!!
I was glad to survive my first dormancy and all of my plants pulled through and though they looked pretty gnarly at first are now in the swing of spring.
I know this isn't the biggest growlist on the site, but I had to start somewhere and am now addicted. When my daughter comes home from college I will have her take some pictures to post as things should be in good shape then.
Thanks again to all the good folks on flytrapcare.com for your support!
Peace!
