Here in Northern California, we had an abnormally warm winter,which forced plants to pitcher up about 2 weeks earlier than normal. However, the weather eventually cooled down, which slowed down growth. Overall, in terms of pitcher development, it it seems like we're very close to "normal" for this time of year: we're neither ahead nor behind.

As always amazing collection
Nice to see that your winter was warm, ours was the coldest ever plus lasted longer than before

Very impressive collection! I'm sure your bog garden doubles as an insect killing field!

WOW! That is a HUGE collection! Kudos!

H0w d0 you keep all these watered? faucet water?

Thanks everyone!

usmcflykiller: The tap water typically is around 20-80ppm, so we're fortunate enough to not have to use R.O. or D.I. water. I still water by hand, but there will be a drip system installed pretty soon.

Looking good Mike. I wish I had that much space, let alone enough plants to fill it.

I can't believe you hand water all those, amazing.
