My name is Kris L., and I have been growing carnivorous plants for around 2 years. Simply to say, I'm hooked 
I find carnivorous plants to be one of the most fascinating things in our world today.
my collection so far consists primarily of the North American pitcher plant Sarracenia, but I also grow several types of Drosera, and Venus Flytraps. I have not, and may never attempt to grow plants such as Cephalotus or Nepenthes. This is because these two species require extremely specific conditions, and require a lot of TLC (tender loving care) lol.
It is always good knowing that I am not alone in growing these extremely interesting plants
I will try and post pictures of my plants in their current dormancy setup. Over the winter, I place them in my unheated garage, since the temperature here in Louisville loves to change daily.i have shop lights over them, with daylight bulbs.
Also, I will try to provide my own helpful input if other people post questions on the forum. Thanks for having me aboard
