Hi from Winnipeg

[Dogrem]

Hi !

My name is Rémy (I'm French).
I have grown carnivorous plants 10 years in France (from 1996 to 2006) and after a long stop, I will get back to it slowly.
I am in Winnipeg (Canada) and since I have a backyard now, I will get back to the Carnivorous Plants.

But this time, I'll try to only start from seeds. And Temperate spices first because it's cold here! USDA Zones: 3a (-40.0° to -37.2°C)

For now, I have:
- Pinguicula Corsica f. Pallidula.
- Pinguicula Grandiflora f. Grandiflora

And seeds in my fridge for cold stratification :
- Sarracenia Purpurea
- Sarracenia Flava var. Rubricorpora
- Drosera Filiformis

Have a good day

Hi Remy and welcome.

Nice to hear you are growing carnivorous plants again, good luck with the conditions in Winnipeg!

Welcome Remy. I'm new on this forum too. I really enjoy these plants, but have to limit myself to those that can overwinter in a cold garage. (I do use the refrigerator for VFT and now one S. leucophylla.

Thanks.

All the temperate will be ok in a cold New Jersey garage I think (if it's not under -10°C for several consecutive days).

-10C is about 14F and we can get colder than that overnight for a week or so. The absolute coldest night since 1984 has been -29C or -20F. That was very unusual. I've seen a few years with -18C or 0F for a day or so.
