I would have to say it's a tie. All the plants look pretty beat up but I think that they should recover just fine. At least now I have plenty of fresh rainwater for all my plants.

It's been pouring down since last night. Flooded everywhere around me. We are ok though. Still have power food and water. Just riding it out like we always do. Thanks for your concern. Hopefully it'll stop raining in a day or two.

That looks pretty good for 130 mph winds! Did you get the wind that strongly over there?

No we didn't get any wind. We were on the far eastern edge when it hit. All we have been getting is the constant downpours since Friday. It's basically right on top of my area now. Just dumping rain all over. We are all safe here just can't really go anywhere because everything is flooded.

Nothing is underwater in my yard. There are big ditches in the front yard and my house is up on a hill so only the ditches and road is flooded. Just hunkered down and waiting out the rain.

Looks like a bit of a mess, but I'm sure it'll all be fine.

You could try gently bundling the sarracenia together with string to keep the broken pitchers upright, maybe with a couple of small stakes in there somewhere. At the least, you might want to prop them up so those small plants have more sunlight, but only after it stops raining.

Hope you continue to stay safe!

Here's an update for you. I just tied up all the pitchers to let them dry out on the inside. I'll take it off in a few days and trim all the pitchers that can't hold themselves up.
