Day 291: While we're on the subject of carnivorous plants (we were talking about Sundews day before yesterday), I am happy to report that my Sarracenia x Carolina Yellow Jacket has turned into a veritable grove of hungry pitchers and is keeping my back porch bug-free with the assistance of its companion, Sarracenia rubra. In this record-breaking heat, I top up their water saucers at least once a day to ensure that they have the proper boggy conditions their roots prefer, and although I often see mosquito larvae in the bowls, I have yet to see a single mosquito. They're doing a great job, my door wardens!
