Nice pics man!!! Im starting all over with my cobra atm. was going good for three years, then i repoted it, and all of a sudden the new heads that were growing were burned at the tip!! all the heads that grew last year were burned at the tip and did not even develop a head at all. I did not know what was the cause of this, I had a perlite, peat, sand mix similar too the last 3 growing seasons. So i did an emerg, repot last summer late, and put it in the mix that northwest sarr, recomends, but still so far the same issue again, i only use dist, or rain water, so I don't know really what is doing this?

any pics????

Yup that's them, they swim backwards. Thanks guys for your help! Cheers

Not red but clear looking.

Hi guys, I have my plants in water trays in my greenhouse, and just noticed that there are little things walking on the top of the water. They are very tiny and also hang out on the bottom of the pots where the edge meets the water line. They are not on my plants, but on the water itself. They seem to move very fast when I poke them. Are these harmful? Also some little things living under the water they move like snakes with a wiggle when poked at! Are they mosquito larve? My plants are ok and nothing on them, just concerned with these little bugs! Thanks guys Andrew

opps, also cobra's :)

In my collection, just temperates. vft's, sarr's, cheph's and dorsera. In live in canada and outside is not a option. Thanks guys.

Hi gang, my questions is, just moved my collection inside a cold basement 50-60 degrees. do you think i need light as well, or can they be in darkness til spring. Thanks Andrew

Some from today!!!!

Just a peek, the rest in section stated above.

Thank guys, who has the tallest cobras? I want to get get at least 16 inch on the spring pitchers. Anyone here have tall cobras? if so, what are the heights on your tallest picther?

In other section, plants in cultivation section. Thanks hope you enjoy them. Andrew

Spring Darlingtonia photo shoot 2009. These pics are from my iphone, so no resizing done here. Will take more as the season goes on. The tallest pitcher is 9inch. I want to get these guys real big. one day i hope. Also there is a little darling, 2 of them, they are around 3 years from seed.

found a pic of your plant in darlingtonia section. i also answered your ? there too! But feel free to do more here. lol Andrew

Hey Jim, i would say wide is better, there roots are not that long and like to be in water. Sooo I just repotted mine this year, there are 4 plants in that pot that you see (other section photos). But I think next year going to wider pot for sure as they seem to tight in there already. I will space out the plants more so there will be lots of room between the 4 plants.

Going to do a nice photo shoot of my Darlingtonia's this weekend, they should be ready for it! lol Will post pic's this weekend. My most beloved plant of my collection.

Oh sorry, Darlingtonia please, and can you get a full shot of the whole plant? from a few angles? How big are your largest pithcers on your dar? Thanks Andrew

Nice!!!!! Can you put up a full shot of your cobra? Thanks
