What do you guys think?
I love the Heliamphora minor for its beauty.
The Dioanea UK Sawtooth II is also pretty amazing looking in my opinion.

Nepenthes Hamata, Villosa, and Edwardsiana. They all win hands down

Drosera, Darlingtonia, Cepholotus, Dionaea, then maybe Nepenthes.

Looking for any drosera capensis via seed, pm me!
I'm interested in any sundews.

Nepenthes macrophylla!
It is better than N. edwarsina, N. villosa, and N. hamata (In my opinion)

Other than that, I really (really) like Drosera solaris and Utricularia section Orchidiodes.

Aldrovanda. It's a venus fly trap (in the sense of its trapping mechanism)... but aquatic. I mean come on! Hahah.

I think we can all agree that Pinguicula are nice looking but least interesting?

Oh I disagree very much so. They are beautiful and their trapping mechanism, while simple, is very effective. I'm very very very biased, if you couldn't tell from my grow list. They also have a vast diversity of flower shapes and colours!

Right, I should've mentioned their diversity which is a very unique thing about them indeed.
