Cool pics, but man, I'd be watching a couple those! :) Are you missing any bodies in your household? I think they might have been swallowed up! Those 'body snatchers' are man eating! LOL

Most amazing photography! :o

Those are really some spectacular plants. I can't even get an orchid to re bloom. I'd never be able to care for those babies.

What a collection.

Wow Jeremiah those are amazing! Both the plants and the photos. I have always been fascinated by the venus fly trap, even as a kid. (I know these are not fly traps, but think probably need very similar conditions and care to flourish.) Once I saved up babysitting $$ and got one at the local box store. It was very cool, while it lasted, which wasn't very long. In later years, I got one (again big box store, which was maybe the first mistake) when my son was little and had the same results. Guess I just don't have the knack or know enough about what they need to do well. So my hat's off to you. Very impressive! Jeanne

What an interesting collection you have! I appreciate you sharing these plants....they are absolutely beautiful. Each seems to have its own personality!

These are difficult plants to grow.....you certainly have a gifted green thumb.

Beautiful pics!......p :wink:

It took oh, so long, for those to load on my very slow dial-up, but they were worth the wait! My only experience with any sort of carnivorous plants was nearly identical to Jeanne's. The variety of your collection is truly amazing! Welcome to the forums!

I grow quite a few sarracenias outside in a bog, and I have one Darlingtonia that is struggling. I've never tried the nepenthes before, I might just have to after seeing your photos!

Fantastic pictures. Thanx! for sharing. Those are award winning photos!

I ordered pitcher plants from PD last March but then chickened out & canceled the order. There was too much time to think about it before they shipped them.

I don't know anyone who grows them around here. They are awesome plants.
