Look what I found! I think it's an ampullaria green? Hopefully it grows well :)

First time I've ever seen neps here so I'm really excited lol. Never thought they'd get any in winter though.

Wait, not even VFTs? Like I said I've never seen the neps but they always have suffering VFTs.

Not really. I only came across those at Trader Joe's because they have their own branded flytraps regardless of location. I did get lucky once and find some Pinguicula at a garden center that works with various local plant people, though.

I see VFTs at Lowe's pretty much year round here in central AZ. And in couple months they'll be at Trader Joe's and Sprout's, but just for a couple of months. Love to see some purps once in a while...

Same here except we occasionally see an import of (non phal) orchids which is pretty cool.
A while back the garden center around here had cobra lilies (on display, not for sale :cry:) and some other CP’s. I always seem to find a nep there no matter what while the traps and dews seem to come and go.

Really? Lowlanders are known for having large leaves.

Thanks! it's not doing to well. Now that I look back, I'm realizing it wasn't in great shape and had probably been watered with tap for a while. That and less than ideal temps may have killed it :(

I don't really know. It just looks dead. There's even some mold near the growth point :?
