D. spatulatha (?) is desperately trying to bloom, but I've cut
off each of the 5 or so stalks it's trying to put up.
Dionea are flowering their hearts out. BTW, what causes the bundle
of flower pods to turn black and die before flowering?
S. leucophylla put up one flower, well formed but smaller than the
S. flava flower, and a small spider promptly took up residence in
the flower bell.
And finally, FINALLY, some of my utrics are starting to put up flower
stalks.
And the battle with aphids has become an ongoing thing. This is
the single biggest drawback to growing outside, beyond even the
squirrels in terms of pissing me off. I keep a bottle of poison
spray near at hand nowadays.
