I don't grow them outside nor am I in that zone, so I could not make recommendations. Potentially the temperate and warm-temperate species, but it's dependent on what your high temperatures are and how tolerant the species are.

Everything in that last line are perennial, if they are flowering themselves to death there's something stressing them in their conditions that needs to be altered.

That photo was taken at night, with a flashlight behind/below it. It's under the same lights as everything else in the main greenhouse currently.

It's in the same mix basically as adelae, and sits right next to my schizandra pot. I don't see any real differences other than from all other tropical sundews (they're not subtropical) in that they all like it cool and slightly on the shadier side where possible.

The unnamed gecko who hates human interaction as much as Piberius does...maybe more since he's more willing to bite. House gecko by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr And Rebel, who's at least 5 feet and a couple pounds now, but still could have quite a ways to go. Rebel by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

The happiest orchid I have...though still can't convince it to flower apparently Dendrobium kingianum by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

Roridula gorgonias by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

A lot of things either blooming for the first time in a while, or the first time ever here...as well as a couple I just haven't photographed for a bit. U. blanchetii "white flower" by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr First bloom for this species, and it's lovely U. lateriflora by Hawken...

Top flower is the original plant, bottom two are from pullings; they each have massive lower lobes compared to the top, far more frilly, and either washed out or bled out vein colors. Several flowers each have remained the same, so I don't know if I have suddenly developed a new pair of strains...

Things are starting to develop so fast in the highland house that half these photos are already outdated and boring compared to the new ones... but oh well. The 2nd biggest pitcher currently on this plant, and the 2nd darkest: N. maxima x talangensis SG by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr Snapped a...

This guy's a little shaded... H. minor by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr By this monster H. nutans by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr H. nutans by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

Everything's waking up...and unfortunately apparently still can't escape a handful of rot points no matter what I do, but more things are flowering than are collapsing at the moment so something's going better at least. If I lose any of the new arrivals though I'm gonna be pissed.... Anyway...

No entries in here yet? Unacceptable... N. ventricosa x gymnamphora by Hawken Carlton, on Flickr

At least two so far have made photosynthetic leaves first as demonstrated by one photo, there's no rule for what leaves are made first. And the media I mix for all my plants is peat, perlite, and blasting abrasive, just in varying quantities judged by eye depending on what their habitat is like...
