Today I bought a few new carnivorous plants.
- Cephalotus follicularis
- Darlingtonia californica
- Nepenthes jacquelineae
- Nepenthes ramispina
- Nepenthes singalana
- Nepenthes vogelii
Am extremely happy I finally found 2 that I’ve been looking for (the Cephalotus and Darlingtonia). All of these plants are still very tiny – the Cephalotus’ pitchers are about 9mm in height, and the Darlingtonia pitchers are about 25mm high. Photos of these 2 follow (no photos of the Nepenthes yet)
