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!

I wrote a response to this thread a few days ago when you posted it but I guess I didn't hit the submit button or something.

Anyway, I think I said something about a great start and that you have some one-of-a-kind flytraps that look quite awesome in that pots of TC seedlings. I'd love to see some updates of them as they grow up.

Gracias Matt,

I am repotting those little babies this weekend as they have overgrown the cup!

I'll definately keep you updated and agree that a couple of them look really nice.
