 Venus Flytrap Dixie Lace   Bog Orchid Pitcher Plant Double flower "Tarnok"
I grow carnivorous plants. I love these beautiful, native plants and I'm fascinated by their unique growing conditions. Pitcher plants, Venus Flytraps, Sundews, Pinguiculas - all kinds of bug eating plants. I grow all these different kinds of carnivorous plants and also many of the companion plants that grow with them. There are many more carnivorous plants that I don't grow including, Nepenthes, Cephalotus, Byblis and some others. Most are tropical and need a greenhouse environment.

Pitcher Plants - Sarracenia
These plants are mostly native to the southeastern United States and grow in very unique conditions. They need a nutrient poor, acidic bog. I have an artificial bog with a soil mix of peatmoss and sand. They should NOT be fertilized and it is best to water with rain water or distilled water. It's not the chlorine, but the minerals in tap water that they don't like. A field covered with these plants is a special sight..
