I'm trying to tackle a problem. I'm a small grower/reseller of CP in the
Pacific Northwest. Most of my clientle are first-time buyers who haven't a
clue about how to grow CP, but have had plenty of experience killing Venus
Flytraps, and are very well-versed in the abundant misinformation that is out
there. They would like to try CP, but are afraid of them.

Here in the Northwest, west of the Cascade range, all of the Sarracenia,
Venus Flytraps, temperate sundews and butterworts all grow very well in our
climate outdoors. It's often hard to convince people of that.

I'm looking for photos any of you might have that show CP growing outdoors in
bog gardens, container gardens, alongside ponds, on patios, pictures with
snow on Sarracenia, hanging baskets, etc...

E-mail me if you have anything you would like to share. It will help many
people new to growing CP to be successful. I would love to see the day when
a small savage garden is as common on a sunny patio as are petunias.
