This is an archive post of 2007. The pics were taken in December and show how do the plants look during the cold season, specially if kept outdoors as mines. It's a clear example of why having carnivorous plants in winter is not as funny as in summer...
Sarracenia leucophylla late summer pitchers tend to last until late winter
...but it is not the case of its surrounding plants
Some parts start to dry out, specially due to captured prey
Sarracenia flava pitchers don't last so much...
Some of the Sarracenia minor pitchers still look OK in december...
...this is not the case for Sarracenia rubra
Most of the pitchers of Sarracenia oreophila are dried...
...so they have to be trimmed...
...and only phyllodia survive.
Drosera scorpioides has produced the characteristic winter gemmae.
Dionaea muscipula looks really creepy. It definitely needs a haircut!
Voilá ! After a haircut!
