Well all the CPs are doing great after a month outside. All the Droseras
are blooming and so are the Utrics. My Darlingtonia has been trapping an
unbelievable number of flies and that is my problem (I think).
My only Darlingtonia was doing great after a winter in my basement under
lights. The pitchers are about a foot tall and there are about 25 on the
clump. I moved the plant outside and the flies came in droves. Now
several of the newer pitchers are browning where the concentration of
flies in the base of the trap is the greatest. Note, it isn't browning
where the leaf contacts the rhizome, but up a cm or two. Any ideas as to
what is causing this. It is disturbing on such a nice plant. Should I
move it back inside?
Thanks,
Mark
