The carnivorous plants are waking up now. As it's been a wet weekend I have been repotting terrestrial orchids and frits for their summer rest, and cleaning / deaphiding the Sarracenias for the sping.
My Sarracenias live in the conservatory most of the time, but during good weather (or when I want to take a photo) I bring them outside. Some of them are flowering.

Although they are pretty tough, the new pitchers are vulnerable to aphid attack causing distortion, as here.

An overwintering pitcher of
S. alata black tube. It is quite dark but I think the name is a little optimistic!
