Got some serious rain last night so my upper bog got nice and muddy! Finally got my CPs planted and I just love it! Hoping the VFTs love their new home enough to add some red blush to the vibrant greenβ€οΈπ First 2 pictures from before the rain! I canβt wait until the moat fills up! #cpclubthursday #VenusFlyTrap #Sarracenia #Seymour #boggarden

@Amateurbotany Great Rachael, they may go back a little bit they should thrive in the right conditions once they settle in ! The light amount will dictate their color and also their genetics (a bit like people tanning) . Just ensure itβs mainly their roots that get wet and not so much the rhizome as it can create a few issues.
All the best and enjoy ! π π

@Seymour itβs hard to tell from the photo, but the VFTs are actually on a higher plain than the Sarracenia. The pot in the center is meant to catch overflow and prevent the rhizome from sitting in water! Iβll keep you posted! Hoping this is a successful endeavor but regardless of the outcomeβ¦Iβm really excited to see what happens!
@Amateurbotany How cool Rachael, I am loving it π I was almost tempted to buy a large pot today to replicate your effort but it reluctant as it is the coldest and wettest part of the year so they like to rest over winter π₯Ά
So I will just admire yours and itβs progress

@Seymour the cool thing about being in opposite season is we can compare notes! Iβll let you know how mine over-wintersβ¦although Iβm guessing MICHIGAN gets a bit colder than Perthπ
@Amateurbotany I think Perth is considered a Medditerean climate although we are getting some major heat waves in summer these days and the winter has been milder and warmer than usual. Maybe I need to branch out and put some CPs outside but I am concerned as I even had a rosemary sprg in a pot stolen (for a lamb roast lol π???)
But I am loving the summer colors from my 4th of July friend s and my U.K./European friends ! π₯°π»πππΈ
