At that temperature range, you should be able to grow just about
all of the Sarracenia species, Darlingtonia (provided their roots are
kept cool), VFT's, most Drosera, Pings, etc. You're in that rare zone
where you can grow just about anything as far as CP's. I wish I could
say the same. As far as what to recommend, I guess it all depends on
your tastes. I'd suggest starting off small, or at least bringing
some of the less hardy plants in for the winter, just in case!
