Leider hat keine der #FleischfressendePflanzen das Winterquatier überlebt.
Keine Ahnung was da schief gelaufen ist.

Übrig bleiben die Winterharten. Die kommen prächtig. Die #Sarracenia treibt sogar das erste Mal Blüten aus.

#Sarracenia 'Dana's Delight', pitcher plant.

Looks like Dorian the Sarracenia is going to flower! Apparently this strange bulbous growth in the middle of the cluster of pitchers is a flower bud

My carnivores in their winter dormancy quarters (an unheated but insulated mudroom).

I am continually amazed at how attractive the #Sarracenia pitcher plants are to various #insects. (Bumblebee on Sarracenia leucophylla, fly on Sarracenia minor.) This even in mid-October up in the north central #Massachusetts hill country, after a couple nights of frost.

Put my carnivorous babies out for a bit of an airing.

The Sarracenia pitchers are starting to look lovely again this year.

#Sarracenia rubra ssp. wherryi “Chatom Giant”

Mi planta insectívora (sarracenia) ha decidido hacer un upgrade a su dieta y empezar a comer caracoles.

#Sarracenia × moorei flowers - a natural hybrid between S. flava and S. leucophylla. The flowers come out well before the pitchers on this North American pitcher plant, probably to avoid eating its own pollinators. #bloomscrolling #CarnivorousPlants #PitcherPlants

I got kind of creative in the fall last year and planted some pitcher plants outside. I also planted a few in a shallow clay pot (which isn’t recommended) as another test. It looks like they’re all doing better than last year’s test in a water dish (which rotted out). We had some cold this winter but it didn't last as long. That may have helped. It will be interesting to see what they do over the next couple of months.

Vibrant winter color of a purple pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea). This one is growing in a small tub that I drilled just a couple of small holes into three inches from the bottom. This is so it retains plenty of moisture during the hotter months but still drains enough that the plants don't rot.

Frosted Sarracenia today. Leaves still holding up despite the cold, snow, wind and rain we’ve had lately.

Finally got around to combining multiple small pots into two big pots. One planter is mostly sarracenia (pitcher plants) and the other is mostly drosera (sundews).

Ended up with a bunch of left over soil, so I put those into three small pots in case there’s anything else growing below the visible plants. Won’t catch me napping again, secret plants!

I’ve just been checking hashtags and realised: there is not nearly enough insectivorous plant content on mastodon, I’m going to do my best to help remedy this, but I would appreciate help.
If you have insectivorous plants and you are not sharing photos of them, well, please do.
