Anyway, you are so lucky to be able to see them in the wild!

Check your PM!

I have a Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) that will be celebrating it's 22nd birth day this August. I also have an 8yr. old Cape sundew (Drosera capensis) and a 6yrs. old Nepenthes mirabilis. Used to have a lot more, but some of them got fungus or bugs or whatever and I haven't replaced them. I used to have a huge Drosera dichotoma that was almost 1.5ft. across, but it died while I was on vacation. Definitely got to get another one of those. Oh and I just got, last year, a Purple pitcher plant (Sarrecenia purpurpea purpurea) that's just coming out of hibernation. Use to have a huge on of those, but it didn't winter over well for me the one year and died.
