Pete D'Amato's recent CPN article notwithstanding, I doubt
my N. khasiana would survive being left outside nowadays.
The Washington, DC area was just hit by a near-record-setting
snowstorm that left better than 18 inches of light powdery
snow. All businesses are closed, I've seen 4-wheel-drive
vehicles get stuck, and the plows haven't attended to the
side streets yet. I have some Dionaea muscipula plants and
a few North American Droserae buried outside and covered
with mulch and plastic (and snow!). They'll probably survive.
On a different subject, is it easier to shovel 6" of snow three
times in 1.5 days, or to shovel 18" just once? I opted for
the former, and I'm pretty sore in the expected places.
The school children must be having a blast.
