We went to a carnivorous plant show yesterday..so many intriguing carnivores..and just got to bring home one.

So this one is labeled as Sarracenia psittacina. So as indicated this type needs rainwater for moisture..we don't have that so will make it sit on distilled water. And has to be grown on full sun...well, will see how it will grow with 4 hours of full sun and then part shade. I do enjoy looking at its blooms, like an inverted umbrella, and the succulent leaves that are colorful and veinous. Says it is okay to leave outdoors in winter..I like that! Expectation is it will go dormant by winter time but still needs to be moist. That will be good timing since winter is when the rains finally come here.
