I visited the new england wild flower society and picked up a tray full of Sarracenia rubra's and alata's. I can fit a few more but I cleaned them out. These newbies are just waking up and will be surrounded by s. moss shortly.

Think you may have forgotten the rest of the post here Jeff. I'd love to see it though!
 
nice... so how did you overwinter these guys
 
Leaves, leaves and more leaves for the pitchers. The traps in the bog bowl are new
 
Cool update in about 2-3 months. :)
 
So what plants do you have in there? Did you have any losses?
 
I'll bet those will look very nice in a few months.
 
I live in zone five as well. When do you know to take the leaves off? Is there some sort of more-hardy plant (like the oaks trees, or anything else native here) that starts to break its dormancy that lets you know when you should uncover your bogs?

Thanks

It is too early to tell if I have lost anything. I am hoping it stays warm enough here to avoid cold damage.

Plants in the bog are:
Sarracenia ladybug
Sarracenia leucophylla 'Tarnok'
Sarracenia "Dana's Delight"
Sarracenia purpurea

There may be 1 or 2 more in the hodge podge bog.

A neighbor was giving away a pond container and I snagged it. Now the question, What do I fill it with - donations and ideas welcome.
