For the first time in several years the Dionaea were driven underground over winter. They're slowly coming back so it will be interesting to see which were the least hardy of the bunch.

It doesn't help of course if the local gastropods think you're providing snacks for the itinerant.

I must get a couple of my patent bait cafes put out although I have my Calopogon surrounded at present. I may have to manufacture some more. Of course there's always the beer traps.

This hot spell is working well with the plants.

This Pink Venus has just broken through. While the plants from my own seed are romping away.

I have one in the greenhouse in a long tom, which whilst looking shabby didn’t die back to soil level in winter and is now picking up nicely,
The barrel is an old home brew, pressure barrel, that I cut the top off. The plants are typicals and a couple of red ones, that I dug up out of the bogs, (left uncovered over winter) between the beast from the East 1 and 2, so they had been moved and subsequently frozen in thier new home. As you can see they are picking up in this sunny spell.

I bought a grip for the camera / scope/ cam and it needed trying out . Subject:- Dionaea flowers ( which, of course, all look exactly the same)
