Well, this year I had a room in my house that I left unheated, moved everything that needed dormancy into there.
Next year, I won't be in the same house, so I'll have to see when I get there, I don't have that much that goes dormant. So it shouldn't be to much of an issue.
Oh this reminds me I had a pot of Sarracenia alata x wherryi outside here in Wisconsin all winter, wasn't sure if they would be ok, but I checked on them, and they all had small new growth so it looks like they made it.

Great looking plants everyone! I'll try to get some pictures up soon.
James, those droplets aren't water but mucus, constant spraying willl wash it off. Place your plants on trays of shallow water and give them nice bright lighting to get them to devlop those droplets naturally.
I don't have a bunch of pics of my collection as my website crashed after I did my cuttings for the year and my backup CD Rom was empty so I've nothing cool to show. I'm progressively rephotoing things as they become interesting to look at again. My ever increasing growlist is up at: Growlist
Slowly I'm adding photos cultivation and description info.
For now I can tell you my growing areas are:
Highland Nepenthes chamber(s) 4 x 4 x 2 (my new "one" will be two levels same cooling unit, more floorspace & more light) two chambers 2 ft x 2 ft x 4 ft with six tubes over each
Lowland/propagation chamber 6 flourescent tubes
Lowland chamber from a converted shower stall w/ 400 Watt metal halide
Cold frame greenhouse 4 ft x 4 ft x 4ft on deck
Humidity frame/terrarium in the house for houseplants, seeds, etc. 2 ft x 2 ft x 4 ft =4 flourecents
My apartment has signs up that we residents can plant things on the property now so I'm going to have a cool south eastern 2 teir space. The top is about 8 x 8 in a triangle shape and bottom terrace is about 8 ft x 15 feet. I'm gonna replace all the dirt there with good soil mix and plant some cool hardy exotics like aroids ferns and gingers and try a few cheaper sarracenias in bog bowls leaving from spring until the fall comes. I wonder how large my alocasia robusta elephant ears will get over summer with some real sun! ...come on 12 foot x 6 foot leaves!

The camera used in most of them was one that came with a 2" thick manual, so it was really good quality. It was my suprevisor's and it's the kind they use to make fruits and vegetables so appealing in grocery stores. The one pic, with the Byblis liniflora, live LFS and D. binata are specifically in a swamp.

Great plants Voodoo! What kind of lighting do you have on that 90 gallon tank? What's the wattage?
heres my share, if you want more pics let me know...
You know... You could just look around the forum to see these pictures for the most part
I don't have much to show... As most stuff is just now waking up, so there are lots of pots of LFS. haha Those are sarras
Large overview of my g/h... click to see.

Not a young regia. But yes D. regia. This picture was right after it was moved to the new green house... It is amazing how much redder the whole plant is already!!
It is in a 6" tall PVC pipe... 2" pipe i think... Something pingman was experamenting with and i havn't gotten around to tranplanting it... LOL I think it's 3 plants in there actually.
