With things growing and stirring outside, I thought I would post a couple pictures from the collection. A substantial portion of the collection was acquired while the plants were in dormancy to minimize shipping and acclimation stress, so it is really exciting to see them go into active growth!
Happy growing, everyone!

My Walmart "Typical"... the plant that started it all. :)

DC XL. The first of many flytraps purchased from FTS. With all the new growth, I didn't recognize the plant at first earlier this spring. Traps are much bigger than last year. :)

The "full sun" portion of the VFT collection. They started sitting in about an inch of water beginning 2-3 weeks ago. No more room on the table, so new additions are being kept in the "morning sun" area, where they will stay since that is probably where all the flytraps will go when temperatures begin hitting 100F. I have also discovered that LFSM stays moist better for me in smaller cups. So, the flytraps that were in 20oz styrofoam cups have been downsized.

D. filiformis var tracyi. The slowest of the filiformis to wake up but the most resilient during strong winds. This one never loses much dew. We'll see how it does this Wednesday when the 60 mph gusts arrive.

D. filiformis var filiformis (red hybrid) waking up for the season. All the filiformis (except my "Florida Red" youngster) are growing in 3-gallon white Ikea wastebaskets. Best $0.79 planters ever! :)

"Full sun" table top collection. The "morning sun" area is just behind the patio furniture. Birds regularly drink and steal food from the pitchers of the S. rosea at the bottom left.

D. capensis "Typical" sending out a flower stalk. The capensis have done surprisingly well in dry windy conditions for me. But they drink a lot of water on those days!
