Because of the drought my outdoor bog tray has become a watering hole for local birds and bugs. Yesterday some ants climbed up four stories for water and "food".

 

[DevonNS]

A little display planter I put together this morning... I'll likely add a ping in the future.
The bottom quarter is filled with leca and plastic mesh to act as a screen; capped with a traditional bog mix.

Looks great! How well does the sphagnum wick up water from the leca?

I've found that long fiber sphagnum does really well for water wicking and staying damp in general.

The Cephalotus seedlings appear stable, they suffered a little die off because I forgot the humidity dome the first night.... New growth showing, plus a random seedling...

 

[DevonNS]

The tentaculata and smaller ephippiata are nearly growing on pair with the others. Unfortunately the one from Tim lost it's battle I'll keep it around for a while longer because of hope... It never recovered after the layover, as they say Monday Monday

Pingucula rectifolia X heterophylla {Tonala} I acquired from Willy couple months back.

The Pinguicula mehitable started to flower, marks my first ever flowering ping....

Also just noticed I'm officially a "Carnivorous Plant Addict"

Congratulations @DevonNS on your new status. This week I became an "addict" too. I never knew much about achieving different levels. However, I'm humbly proud to be in the company of many respected and experienced CP growers. I've learned so much since joining the Forum and hope to contribute what I can.
Where did you find the Pinguicula mehitable? Its colour lovely and it looks very sticky. Please post when the flower blooms .

Could not have said it better!

The Mehitable was sourced from Brads Greenhouse back during the spring.
