Rich,
Is if possible your VFT's were too wet this summer? I've certainly
seen that they hate being water logged all the time, and need to be a
bit higher and drier than Sarracenia. One person I know in Illinois with
an outdoor bog says he put logs along the edge of his bog, raising the
media in that region, and plants his VFT's in that raised section.
