A few CP pics

Sarracenia purpurea (pic taken earlier this year):

Recently after hot weather:

Nepenthes (hirsuta x spathulata) - not a spectacular hybrid, but grows and pitchers dependably:

Recently became a 'weed', crawling up my orchid rack and giving me several flower spikes at once:

Nepenthes Miranda upper pitcher:

Thanks all..

Kevin, they're quite commonly sold back home (and VFTs but I gave up on those after a few attempts). The sarras went dormant for the first couple of years I had them, but after that they just kept on growing continuously.. I gave them 'dry dormancy' (reduced watering, shady position), as opposed to cold dormancy (sticking it into a fridge, which usually gives lower percentage of survival, according to some local CP people)....
