Hi everyone, my name is Dan and I live in the east of england. I use a couple of other forums but this is the most active and has lots of great pictures.
My collection is mostly sarra's but I also grow several dionaea's, darlingtonia, drosera, pinguicula, cephalotus and utrics. My favourite cp I grow is drosophyllum. I also have a collection of cacti which I tend to grow from seed. The cp's are outdoors all year round except for a utric reniformis and a nepenthes.
I've attempted to add a few pictures here but as my plants are not in a greenhouse they aren't all fully coloured up yet.
A flower from a S jonesii
This is the plant known as Slacks maxima, he apparently believed it to be a hybrid. It is very vigorous and big, the tallest pitcher this year was 3' and the largest bloom was 5" across but it's still only a little cutting.
Seed grown flava rugelli from Apalachicola.
A flower from a S x moorei 'marstons select'
Two flowers from a S x swaniana, this plant is a beast, it competes with hummers hammerhead for overtaking more than it's fair share of space.
S oreophila sand mountain, this is mike kings O7 clone. The veining is even stronger in real life and the pitchers already have them when only half grown.
Another one of several oreophila clones I have, this is a nice strong plant with red veining in the throat.
A multi hybrid, Brooks hybrid x leucophylla. This has super robust pitchers (hornet eater, when they're around) the red veins are really vivid and the lid gets really white. Sadly my photo skills don't do it justice, this picture is from last year, its currently opening its first pitchers.
This is my best flava cuprea clone. This is from last year.
Finally another hybrid, this is S x 'Hugh Jampton' freshly opened from a couple of days ago. This evening it was really colouring up, the red spreads from the veins and the green gets replaced by a coppery red colour.
