Dinner Time!

[joossa]

I mostly grow North American CPs and since most of my collection is dormant, I haven’t had a chance to feed them in a long time. However, my D. capensis is still actively growing and told me it was hungry for something bigger and tastier than fungus gnats. So I went ahead and fed it yesterday...

Smaller fly:

Ha, I love the tag for it! My capensis was unfortunately damaged by frost here. Is that a flower stalk I see?

Yeah...

I have always cut off the flower stalks for this one ever since I got it. I think I'm going to let it flower this time, though.

Hehe how epic. 8)

Makes me want to repot one of my seedling pots that I keep around my nepenthes.

My Capensis was damaged by a hard freeze (in the 20s) the other night. Several of the leaves turned black.

Love the tag in the background!

Now that I look more at it, I think I see a forked leaf on the left side of the tag.

Nah, that's just the camera angle + lighting.

This tag was found on some 99 Cent Only store capensis that I purchased some time ago. The pictured plant was not one of them, but since the tag was so cool-looking, I took it away from a 99 Cent capensis and gave it to this older, more mature plant.

My first CPs came from Wallgreens and had that cute little guy on the sundew's paperwork. Still have that paperwork -- somewhere, anyway.
