Frosty

Mornings have recently been pretty chilly and during this time, days have been starting off with frosted plants. And icy water tables. Warmer days are around the corner, but for now I’m enjoying the haunting beauty of dormancy. Here’s a few frames of frosted foliage. Photos are from 26 Jan 2022.

Spring Cleaning: Flytrap Edition

RobBlog, Dionaea, Other Carnivores

Flytrap fun! To make room for new traps, I give the flytraps a cleaning each spring spring. During some seasons, I’d do a full re-pot and trim/clean up. (Other growers I know do this.) However, with limited time and so many other (sarracenia-centric) projects coming up, I decided to manicure the babies by simply hand-picking off all the dead traps. Now there’s more room for the new leafy jaws.
