Things are moving along here in The Asylum! There’s still a lot of trimming and clean up to do – but there are signs of life.
The rains in months past have washed all of the whitewash from the greenhouse roof. Plus it has been relatively sunny and warm. And it is even warmer under glass. Interesting note: I notice that the plants that I haven’t trimmed back have not really begun to wake up yet. I suspect because the pitchers shade out the rhizomes from the sun keeping them cooler and dormant for just a little longer. Growth is inevitable though. The cycle is starting again and soon The Asylum will be engulfed in growth and vibrant color.

This was a back end rhizome cutting. Notice the little nubs of new growth.
