Thanks Boarderlib. That's only one of my pots of Flaming Lips, I have another one just like it. Believe it or not both of my pots of Flaming Lips started from one little starter plant that I almost lost. I've been growing fly traps for a long time and that particular little plant was one of the biggest PITA to keep alive and get going. It makes looking at the plants now all the more satisfying.
I didn't have any problems with it taking off last year, but the fused tooth and long red fingers I got this year are shaping up to be my problem children. I may have to grab some cables to get them jumpstarted at the rate they're going. Lol
You're right though, those PITA plants usually do end up with a special place in your heart.
My Flaming Lips started out as a few small plants clumped together and one by one the divisions died off until l only had one small division left and I thought I was going to lose that one two different times. It didn't start to divide again until it finally pulled out of whatever was going on with it and after it had grown to almost adult size.
