FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Thanks, Appolyon! The pitcher isn't as big as it seems in the photo, it stands at about maybe 3-3.5 inches. I've had the plant for a couple years now, and i put it outside when the spring temps warm up, then back inside around this time of year. (Just brought it in this weekend, as our temps are starting to cool off here in Louisiana). It does very well during the warm humid summers, had like 6 nice pitchers on it at one point. Inside, it just kind of gets by....lol.
All the best!

Very nice, Byblis is one of my favorites for sure. I'm getting kind of obsessed, about to have a farm at this rate lol.

Only three days left in the October photo contest. I am super excited to see all of the participation. 28 members have posted their favorite CP plant shot, and they are spectacular. Thank you to everyone who has participated so far. There are still a few days left, so submit your pictures and vote for (thumbs up) your favorite pictures.

Here are the standings so far, but anything can still happen. There have been a couple of entries that have been disqualified for posting multiple shots. Please read the contest rules in the first post.

I suck lol... Maybe next month.

Same. Next time I'm gonna try Sarracenia

I don't want you guys to get discouraged. Even if you don't get the most votes, I think it is great that we get to share our shots with everyone else. We are all at different levels of growing and photography. Keep posting and practicing. You may end up with that magic shot.

I might have to invest on a DSLR just to be able to take better quality pics

Ah, but what phone are you using? My S9+ can only do so much

What Macro lens do you use?

It would seem that the winner is Herbz187.

The results are in and @Herbz187 is indeed the winner. I have seen some of his other photos, and he definitely has the knack. Here is the winning image.


Herbz187, PM me and we will sort out the details of your prize. You have the choice of an Alien VFT from Matt at the Flytrap Store if you pick up the shipping. The other option is a seed prize pack of VFT OP, Drosera intermedia, and Sarracenia flava. PM me and let me know your choice and we will get the prize to you.

Next up, our November contest. Keep your eyes on the Photo Contest Forum for the full details.
