I killed the winter bud on my FG1988 clone:-( so will have to wait for it to grow back from the roots, kept winter buds in some other pots of d.regia, always the one you don't want it to happen to

The species is coming on well in all the pots. I've even had to split a couple. This one has the largest leaves at present. It has the lead on all the others.  |

One of the pots had a mild aphid attack which was easily rectified. Growth is good.  Pots of these are everywhere and it doesn't bother me at all  |

Feeding timeThe Chafers are back and we're hunting Lily Beetles so what better to feed them to than some of the D. regia. Prey in the middle of the leaf.

Prey near the tip of the leaf.   |

The feeding of the Chafers and Lily Beetles seems to have helped one of the root cutting plants. It's looking quite happy.  This one is in a 3½" long tom. |

Nice flower stalk. Your clone in my collection is doing very well and one is also sending up a flower stalk. Unfortunately I don't have another to cross pollinate with. :-(

The one plant in the middle greenhouse, the attempted escapee, was messing me about this spring. First it was growing, then it wasn't, then new leaves were dying and it went back to sleep. Whilst I was repotting the Dionaea I did the same to this one. I recentered it in a 10x10x17 using the same sphagnum around the plant and some fresh in the bottom and around the old. Now it's taken off, why? who knows. Odd things these plant thingies.  |

The repot is coming along by leaps and bounds.  Ignore the nibble, I'm sure that the guilty gastropod is an ex-gastropod by now. corky, did your FG1988 regenerate? |

Further ahead than mine Fred , I've got stalks on a couple of my pots but sadly not on the fg1988 clone :-( but that clone is coming back with multiple growth points and I have to say seems superior to my other clone. I seriously need to propagate this one ;-)

A couple of hoverflies were very interested in this flower this morning.  They weren't interested in any other just this one.  So now the question is why that one and not one like this?  |

The repotted attempted escapee is now a double header.  Still quite happy in its long tom. |

not here it isn't
