Fungus? Not so good. The pitchers are gorgeous enough to be enjoyed even if briefly. Interesting that these plants are not always happy campers when brought home.<br /><br />lostlandscape, Bay Area Tendrilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02559534912850380427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2503383579285260292.post-55501635518929969992009-11-03T06:20:51.369-08:002009-11-03T06:20:51.369-08:00Enjoyed the contrast between the chartruese sphagn...Enjoyed the contrast between the chartruese sphagnum moss and that cobra lily.
