See if you can spot it first signs of life have appeared, I have taken my tuberous drosera indoors as -1c may happen tonight and I want to be on the safe side , I noticed a couple of these were sticking their heads out ,I gave a light water from above

Well yeah and I suppose slap bang in the middle of the picture isn't the most cunning hiding place, next time I'll try a bit harder

I have taken my tuberous drosera indoors as -1c may happen tonight and I want to be on the safe side Isn't it a bit early for those temps there Corky? We've had nightly lows of -6°c and -7°c here already, but it has been a very mild autumn, by our standards. We even had a week or so of above freezing nights, about a week ago. Tonight it is staying above freezing with a low of +3°c, but cloudy and overcast with chance of rain will keep the heat in, versus a clear starry night. If you're getting that cold at home, i have to wonder how Fred is making out up north in Scotland - hopefully he remembered to bring his woolies. dvg

Yep I hope so ,as long as those pesky slugs leave em alone, the buds look bigger on a few so I'm thinking the plants should of increased in size which wouldn't be difficult

That's a very tidy display there Corky.
Did you feed the largest one a fly?

Yup the largest has been fed three flies if you look really closely, two are on the very outsides of the leaves
