As I mentioned earlier, we had trouble with the Himalayan species until
we planted them under a large tree or large conifer where it stayed
very dry in the summer months. You might give this a try.<br>

<div>Hey Tony (and others).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Well, we should probably hold off on the congratulations until
next spring! I give watti little to no chance here in this climate.=
Last year nepenthoides, speciosum, and other Himalayans bloomed then
crashed - but I blame that on soil retaining too much moisture. Kil=led
several that way. I'm trying a few again this year in different soi=l.
It is interesting to note that the costatum blooming now is one of last
summer's survivors, as is the amurense. I figure the Japanese
varieties should be easier for me in this climate. My urashimas and
ringens have been kicking around here for almost 20 years now, the
others are new but I don't anticipate trouble from them. Probably
shouldn't have said that.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I love to hear what everyone is growing, and its progress. I='d
especially like to know what has worked - and what hasn't - for any =of
you folks in zones 7-9. I feel like I'm on a deserted island down h=ere!</div>

<div>Thanks, Russell 8b</div>

<div>Hey Y'all.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here on the Gulf Coast the azaleas finished blooming 3 weeks
ago so we are well past "spring". It hasn't rained here since the
first week of March.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My old family of ringens planted in the garden were up an=d
in full bloom the first of part of March, and the flowers still look
good. Next was wattii (the mysterious A-147), but the flowers laste=d
only a week. My amurense from C. Y. bloomed for the second year and
set seed. One of my iyoanum ssp. nakaianums bloomed a month ahead o=f
the second, and I noticed that the first seems to be setting seed.
Engleri and ternatipartitum have already bloomed, and costatum is on
its way out too. Kiushianum is in all its glory right now.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Saxatile and thunbergii ssp. urashima are both up, but
apparently still too small to bloom. :-( Hopefully next year. =Many
others just breaking the soil surface!</div>
