Alex: I'm in WI, not far from Minneapolis. I think zone 4.
I move them into the garage once it starts getting too frigid. i'll move the seedlings in for the night if it gets below freezing, although I have had 1st-year seedlings survive overnight temps of about 18 fahrenheit, without any protection. i think it got up to about 35 here today. mid 20's at night. i won't let it go much colder than that before i move them. i think last year it was the week of thanksgiving. In my experience, this genus is a lot tougher than people give it credit for.

This is I think an hybrid between Lecuophyllia and Flava.

They look like they're doin nice though!
Thanks guys. That one did great this summer. It had the most growth. Also, june bugs just loved to sacrifice themselves to the nourishment of that Sarracenia. Wasps/ Dirt dobers are just too crafty.

Sarracenia seedlings always look so weird.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "not so good" - are they not good because of a technical flaw (out of focus, blurry, wrong exposure - too dark or light) or just don't look so good (composition etc.).[b said:
If it's technical matters you're probably working outside the limits of the camera or in the wrong mode. Did you switch to macro or close-up mode for those close-ups etc. Did you try turning on the flash and selecting the mode for that (backlighting, fill-flash etc). A quick read of the user manual will probably reveal the errors of your ways.
If it's a matter of composition, check some art (painting and drawing) or beginner's photo books on the basics of composition.
At least with a digital camera you can toss the bad pictures without wasting money for processing.
So just follow the age-old advice and "Practice! Practice!"
