NASC Auction will open in...

Read the rules first :)
NASC auction is OPEN!!

Ideas, anyone?

I have a sunless north facing window(any light is blocked by a highrise)... There is light but any direct sunlight is blocked. Any suggestions as to carnivores that would survive here.

D. adelae is the one that pops into my mind. Also, D.schizandra might do well, IF you can find somebody that grows it. You could always grow alot more cp under artificail light, though.

I didn't really want to use artificial...
I've had good luck with my Darlingtonia in this spot just looking for a few additions.
 
I'm not sure about CPs, but you could try an orchid. My phaleonopsis love their shady northern window.

no spiders... but I got some big centipedes in my windows. What is it with those things up here in there north?
 
Certain lowland neps would do well if you have the heat for them.

N. tomoriana comes to mind as a shade lover (I learded that when my plant started to vine up by the grow tubes and fried itself while I was on vacation.
