And lastly, here is the "bog pot" yesterday. We just had a very hard frost and the sphagnum was frozen. I had to stake some of the Sarracenia because it was floppy throughout the year. I don't know if it was because it needed more sun, if it was just it's first year, or because these are very tall varieties. I tried to have it in a sheltered spot from the wind. I had placed a venus flytrap that had done extremely well indoors in the pot, but once outside it became contorted. Does anyone know why that happened. It is still alive and I'm not sure if I should put it in a sunny window or place it in the refrigerator for it's dormancy.
