#CarnivorousClub #CarnivorousPlants I am so excited to show off this little guy. Winter care should be easy but I’ll have my work cut out for me in the summer.

@MariansOasis Thank you! From what I understand, it can take 2-3 years for them to even get to this size. These guys are a serious labor of love.
@TwistedxSinner oh wow! Definitely a plant for people who are patient! Orchids are the same way. I don’t mind waiting ☺️. Looks like you’ve got a few carnivorous. That Melisandre is beautiful too!!
@LaSiguanaba it is a Darlingtonia ^_^ Not sure why Greg calls it a California Pitcher plant but like— I guess that’s technically correct haha
@TwistedxSinner I know some here who grows them and calls them Cobra lilies!
Dr Wiki tells me:
“Darlingtonia californica also called the California pitcher plant, the Oregon pitcher plant, cobra lily or cobra plant—is a species of carnivorous plant in the new world pitcher plant family, Sarraceniaceae. It is the sole species within its monotypic genus, Darlingtonia. The cobra lily is native to Northern California and Oregon, in the western United States, where the climate—while typically thought of as cool and humid—may be quite arid for many months of the year, more so than many carnivorous or pitcher plant genera could feasibly survive (such as Heliamphora, Nepenthes or Sarracenia).”
@LaSiguanaba actually went to a park that is all Darlingtonias and share with us some photos on them “in the wild”
