How are everyone’s plants doing

[Godolphin Greenhouses]

One lonely flava left (pitchered here almost 20 years ago) but it has multiplied since then and still going strong. Problem is, with neglect, the shoreline shrubs overwhelmed my mini bog with shade. Even the purp vanished in darkness. I think the flava is the "Survivor" of this long term experiment only by virtue of its height grabbing a little sun.
I cleared out what shrubs I could and ordered some purp seeds to try out again. Also some VFT seeds to experiment with since they used to self seed here. They will be shipped "as soon as the postal strike ends". Then I will try again!

I have some extra VFT seeds from last years harvest if you're interested. Could send them as a freebie since the germination probably won't be the best.

Sure! And thank you for the offer! Not worried about postal delays for seeds. How do I send you my address?

I sent you a message, if you want to reply to that with your mailing address, that would be great.

Itty bitty Drosera seedlings in red, with a kitty hair for comparison in yellow.

Seeds received! And thank you!

The sundews are already capturing fungus gnats!

Now that the shoreline shrubs are trimmed back I'm finding other survivors! Looks like I have either a purple or one of the three purp crosses here in the background. There are other plants here but I will wait for next year to get pics since they are currently kinda stunted from the shade.

I had a mesh cover over my little bog garden, but a squirrel got in anyway and completely trashed it.
So the VFT is looking bad (but should recover) and the drosera that were growing are mostly gone, but there's still a couple of the binata and alba left, so hopefully enough to fully recover.
There's liverwort happily growing in the corner though.

When squirrels want to get in, you have to have chicken wire everywhere, secured so they can't slither in or dig underneath. Nothing else will do.

I have chicken wire and giant BBQ sticks. So far, so good in my situation.
