New Species discovered

A new species of pitcher has been found, reported to be able to deal with rats!!

See the BBC Article

Carny update




All of our plants survived the winter, although Kellie's Dhalias did not!!

We decided to make a feature of them this year, rather than individual pots, so got 2 square tubs, the kind with a water reservoir. They worked a treat and we are very pleased with the resulting display.

Others who are doing well




let the pictures speak for themselves... I'm having so much fun watching them mature

Focus on the Royal Red VFT

Our Royal Red VFT is by far our best specimen. Purchased from Mike King earlier this year, it is just stunning, so here are a few close ups to show it off in all its glory

Showing off the Beasties







Saracenia Flava in all its glory

VFT Vertical - one of our favourites
VFT Great West Giant - still a baby, but doing well

Royal Red bites off more that it can chew!


Well if it can't catch flies, then it will have to make do with a Sarra!!
