Nice. Is it just me, or do the lamina of your D. capensis look extra long?

Nice. Is it just me, or do the lamina of your D. capensis look extra long? Maybe I should call it "D. capensis var Xtra-Long, Xtra-sticky" I think it's just healthy and vigorous. I don't take any special care of it and it's self-seeding, so it just grows there until shaded do death by the pitchers of my alata and minor. If it gets too bad, I just cull some of them out and give them to other enthusiasts.

Also, last year mid-summer, I decided that I had enough VFTs to merit their own container, so I took all the ones I had in my bogs and put them in one place. While they did very well in their own container, come winter time, they did not fare as well as they did when they were in the larger bogs. My thoughts on this is that maybe the larger bogs provided more thermal mass and thus were able to sustain them better. Here's the VFT dedicated planter: This is what it looked like at the end of the summer last year:
